Clean the inside of the appliance before using it.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
1.Packing
The packaging material is 100% recyclable and
carries the recycling symbol. Follow local
regulations for scrapping. Keep the packaging
materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out
of reach of children, as they are potentially
dangerous.
2.Scrapping
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
material.
This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By making sure this appliance is disposed of
correctly, the user will help prevent potentially
negative consequences for the environment and
the health of persons.
The symbol on the appliance, or on the
accompanying documents, indicates that this
appliance should not be treated as domestic waste
but must be taken to a suitable collection point for
the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
Before scrapping, make the appliance unusable by
cutting off the power cable and removing the
doors and shelves so that children cannot easily
climb inside the appliance.
Disposal must be carried out in accordance with
local environmental regulations for waste
disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to an
authorized dump; do not leave it unattended even
for a few days, since it is potentially dangerous for
children. For more information regarding the

plate inside the appliance).
Appliances with Isobutane (R600a):
isobutane is a naturally occurring, low
environmental impact gas. Caution is required,
however, because isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, ensure that the pipelines of the
refrigerant circuit do not get damaged.
