ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

This equipment was designed and built with the maximum respect for the environment. To
guarantee the same scrupulosity when it's disposed of (given the presence of pollutant or
inflammable materials, e.g. lubricant in the compressor), never abandon the equipment
outside. Contact the local authority responsible for collection and disposal. Don't throw the
packaging material from your equipment in the rubbish but sort the various materials (e.g.
polystyrene, cardboard, plastic bags) as required by local waste disposal authorities in
pursuance of current legislation.

This equipment does not contain CFCs (the cooling circuit contains R134a) or
HFCs (the cooling circuit contains R600a - ISOBUTANE).

To check what gas is used, see the technical data plate on the equipment.

For equipment with ISOBUTANE (R600a)

• Isobutane is a natural gas that doesn't affect the environment, but it is inflammable. It is
therefore essential to check that the cooling circuit tubing is not damaged before
connecting the equipment to the mains.

• For every 8 g of cooling fluid, the installation location must have a minimum volume of 1
cubic metre. The amount of cooling fluid in the appliance is indicated on the technical
data plate inside the refrigerator.

• Leakage of cooling fluid: avoid naked flames or other sources of ignition at the seat of
the leakage.
