disposal of packaging and
appliances
Disable discarded appliances immediately.
This means removing the plug from the socket
and cutting through the connection cable.
Disable any lock on the refrigerator or remove
the doors.
It is important that old refrigerators are
disposed of responsibly and in accordance
with government regulations.
In the past, CFCs and HFCs were used in the
production of refrigerators and freezers in the
cooling circuits and insulating foam. These
substances can damage the atmosphere's
ozone layer if they are released.
Your new refrigerator is completely CFC- and
HFC-free.
Your new refrigerator's packaging should also
be disposed of responsibly.
Information on how to responsibly dispose of
discarded appliances can be obtained from
the local authorities.
