The environment – Recycling instructions

2. RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

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. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.

Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect waste appliances. 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.

NEVER LEAVE WASTE PACKAGING UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND DELIVER THEM TO THE NEAREST DIFFERENTIATED 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 the product, at the end of its useful life, 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 result in the application of administrative sanctions.
