5.1 Environmental protection: disposal

❖ Appliances bearing this symbol «
household waste throughout the EU. To prevent potential damage to the
environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote
the sustainable reuse of material resources, responsibly supply the appliance to a
recycling centre.

5.2 Environmental protection: energy saving

❖ Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated place.
❖ Install the appliance in a suitable position with an adequate distance from sources
of heat and cold.
❖ Protect the appliance from direct sunlight.
❖ Do not line the drawers with aluminium foil, waxed paper or paper layers;
otherwise, optimum circulation of the cold air is impeded so the appliance cannot
work at best performance.
❖ Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room
temperature before you put it into your appliance.
❖ Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
❖ Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You
can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting
them into an airtight bag or container.
❖ Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.
❖ Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in
a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss
of water and a mingling of odours.
❖ Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your
appliance. Otherwise, the energy consumption will increase and encrusted ice will
be generated.
❖ If you buy frozen food, the packaging must not be damaged and the product
must be stored properly (sales container -18 °C or lower).
❖ Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of your
appliance.
