Environmental hints

Refrigerators manufactured by Dometic GmbH are CFC-free.
Ammonia (a natural compound of hydrogen and nitrogen) is used in the cooling unit
as a coolant. The non-ozone-hazardous cyclopentan is used as a propellant in the
manufacture of the PU foam insulation.

Disposal

In order to ensure that the recyclable packaging materials are re-used, these should
be sent to the usual local collection system.
The appliance should be transferred to a suitable waste disposal company that will
ensure re-use of the recyclable components and proper disposal of the rest.
For eco-friendly draining of the coolant from all absorber refrigeration units, a suitable
disposal plant should be used.
