Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment. The crossed
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.

or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment

Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not
place it near heat sources.
• Trytoavoidkeepingthedooropenforlongperiodsor
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
• Donotfilltheappliancewithtoomuchfood:coldair
must circulate freely for food to be preserved properly.
If circulation is impeded, the compressor will work
continuously.
• Donotplacehotfooddirectlyintotherefrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Defrosttheapplianceificeforms(seeMaintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased energy
consumption.
• Regularlycheckthedoorsealsandwipecleantoensure
they are free of debris and to prevent cold air from
escaping (see Maintenance).
• Childrenshouldbesupervisedtoensurethattheydo
