It can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when
disposing packaging material for recycling
purposes.
• Observe existing legislation when disposing of the
old appliance.
Refrigerants such as isobutane and cyclopentane
are located in the cooling zones and the isolation
system of the refrigerator and freezer. Ensure that the
pipes are not damaged. Leakage of these
refrigerants is harmful to the environment.
• Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable
and remove any door catches before disposal.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequently in order to
conserve energy.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor
will work continuously.
(appliance
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms ( see Maintenance ).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased
energy consumption.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping ( see Maintenance ).
