DISPOSAL NOTICES – LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT
Non-polluting materials are used in the packaging of our freezers to ensure that they are environmentally friendly
and recyclable. Please work with us by ensuring that the packaging is disposed of correctly. Ask your supplier or the
relevant organisations in your area for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres.
Please do not dump the packaging or any part of it. It can present a risk of suffocation for children, especially in the
case of plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: Please ensure your old appliance is handed over to the relevant local organisation authorised to collect
waste electrical equipment. Proper disposal will enable valuable materials to be recovered. Refrigation appliances
contain gases that can be harmful to the environment, so you need to ensure that the tubes in the coolant loop are
not damaged before the competent organisation takes the appliance away.
Before throwing away your freezer it is important to remove the door and leave the drawers in their normal use
positions in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing. The power grid connection cable
must also be removed and disposed of separately together with the plug.
