DISPOSAL

This symbol indicates that this product should not be treated as

household waste.

Only dispose of the appliance in certified collection centres.

Your appliance contains a large amount of recyclable material. It is marked

with this label to indicate the used appliances must be disposed of in

certified collection points.

points closest to your home. This way, the appliance recycling organised

by your manufacturer will be done under the best possible conditions, in

compliance with European Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic

gas used in your appliance is clearly shown on the ID plate inside the fridge

part of your appliance, at the foot of the left-hand side panel. R600a is a

non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and hardly contributes

to the greenhouse effect at all.

Inhibit the closing mechanism of the door or, even better, detach the door,

so that children or pets cannot remain enclosed inside the appliance when

playing.

it is said to be designed for a particular "climate class". The climate class is clearly shown on

the ID plate (see the "Contact" chapter). The refrigerator may not maintain satisfactory inside

temperatures if it operates outside of the temperature limits set for the "climate class" it is

designed for. Ensure that the chosen location is compliant with these temperature limits:
