2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL – OUR CONCERN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Our household appliances are only packaged using non-polluting, environmentally friendly, recyclable materials. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.

Important: deliver the appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household appliances no longer in use.

Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged before the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in their normal positions to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside while playing. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

DO NOT DISCARD PACKAGING IN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS WASTE MATERIALS AND TAKE THEM TO THE NEAREST DIFFERENTIATED WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's working life, the user must deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection centres for electrical and electronic waste, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one-for-one basis. Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding any negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative sanctions.
