Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials that are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc., are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than simply throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials that, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. However, these materials are essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with your regular household waste.
Instead, contact your local community waste collection / recycling centre to arrange for disposal, and ensure that there is no danger to children while the appliance is awaiting disposal.
The appliance should be unplugged or disconnected from the power supply by a competent person.
Take care not to damage the pipework at the back of the appliance before or during transportation to an authorised collection depot.
This will keep the refrigerant in the pipework and the oil in the compressor, so that they do not leak out into the environment.
