SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVICE,
REGULATIONS
Safety instructions
care must be taken to ensure that none of the
refrigeration
damaged. In the event of damage avoid naked
flames or ignition sources and ventilate the room
in which the unit is placed for a few minutes.
How to dispose of the old unit
Before disposing of an old, scrap unit no
longer in use, it is imperative to render it safe
and inoperative at once. Disconnect power
supply plug and cut off connection lead.
Remove or destroy all spring, latch or bolt-
locks, ensuring that these have been made
totally unserviceable. This will prevent the
danger of children locking themselves in
inadvertently.
Please observe refrigeration and freezer
units contain insulating gases and coolants
which require specialised vaste disposal.
They also contain valuable materials which
can be recycled. Entrust the disposal of a scrap
unit categorically to the competence of your
local waste disposal service and contact your
local authority or your dealer if you have any
questions. Please ensure that the pipework of
your refrigerating unit does not get damaged
prior to being picked-up by the relevant waste
disposal service, and contribute to environmental
awareness by insisting on an appropriate,anti-
pollution method of disposal.
Disposing of the packaging of your new
appliance
All the packaging materials employed in the
packing of your new appliance may be disposed
of 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 polysterene pads and
stuffing contain no fluorochloric hydrocarbons.
All these valuable materials may be taken to
a waste materials collecting center and used
again after adequate rework. (Recycling).
Consult your local authorities for the name
and address of the waste materials collecting
centers of the waste paper disposal services
nearest to your home.
