Safeguarding the environment

1. Packaging

The packaging material is entirely recyclable
and marked with 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. Appliance

The appliance is made using recyclable
materials. Disposal must be carried out in
accordance with local environmental
regulations for waste disposal. Make the
appliance unusable by cutting off the power
cord. The appliance must be delivered to an
authorized collection centre for the recovery
of refrigerant gas.

Information:

This appliance does not contain CFCs (replaced
with R134a) or HFCs (replaced with R600a
Isobutane). For more information, refer to the
identification data plate affixed to the appliance.

Precautions and general recommendations

• Use the refrigerator compartment only
for storing fresh food and the freezer
compartment only for storing frozen food,
freezing fresh food and making ices cubes.

• Do not cover or obstruct the air vents of the
appliance.

• Do not store liquids in glass containers in
the freezer compartment - danger of
bursting.

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the
freezer compartment - risk of “cold” burns.

• Do not allow children to play or hide inside
the appliance - risk of becoming trapped and
suffocating.

• Before servicing or cleaning the

appliance, unplug it from the mains or
disconnect the electrical power supply.

• The power cable may only be replaced by an
authorized person.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapours/liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance - risk of fire or
explosion.

Declaration of conformity

This appliance is intended to come into contact
with foodstuffs and conforms to D.L. 108 of

25.01.1992 (European Directive 89/109/EEC).

Appliances with Isobutane (R600a)

Isobutane is a natural gas with low
environmental impact. Caution is required,
however, since isobutane is flammable.
Therefore, it is essential to ensure that
refrigerant pipelines are not damaged.
