Cautions Disposal of your old appliance Before disposing of an old appliance, please make sure it's inoperative and safe. Unplug the appliance and remove or destroy all of the springs, latches, or bolt-locks in order to avoid the risk of child entrapment. It must be noted that the refrigeration system contains insulating gases and refrigerants, which require specialised waste disposal. The valuable materials contained in a refrigerator can be recycled. Contact your local waste disposal centre for proper disposal of an old appliance and contact your local authority or your dealer if you have any questions. Please ensure that the pipe work of your refrigerator does not get damaged prior to being picked up by the relevant waste disposal centre, and contribute to environmental awareness by insisting on an appropriate, anti-pollution method of disposal. Disposal of the packaging of your new appliance All the packaging materials employed in the package of your new appliance may be disposed without any danger to the environment. The cardboard box may be broken or cut into smaller pieces and given to a waste paper disposal service. The wrapping foil is made of polyethylene and the polyethylene pads and stuffing contain no fluorochloric hydrocarbon. All these valuable materials may be taken to a waste collecting centre and used again after adequate recycling. Consult your local authority for the name and address of the waste materials collecting centres and waste paper disposal services nearest to your house.
