• TheEuropeanDirective2002/96/EConWaste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out
“wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of
your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance
it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Installtheapplianceinafreshandwell-ventilatedroom.
Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do
not place it near heat sources.
• Trytoavoidkeepingthedooropenforlongperiodsor
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• Donotfilltheappliancewithtoomuchfood:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• Donotplacehotfooddirectlyintotherefrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Defrosttheapplianceificeforms(see Maintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased energy
consumption.
• Regularlycheckthedoorsealsandwipecleanto
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
