UNPACKING – DISPOSAL
2.1 UNPACKING
Remove the external plastic packaging material, the corner re-enforcements, and the styrofoam base.
Open the door and remove the styrofoam blocks from the inside baskets.
Collect and recycle the packaging materials. This will preserve primary materials and help reduce the
amount of waste.
Take the packaging materials to specialised recycling centres .
When the appliance eventually has to be disposed of, it should be made non-functional before eliminating
it.
Attention! Some packaging materials (e.g., plastic bags, styrofoam) can be
dangerous for children. Children should therefore be kept away from them.
2.2 FINAL DISPOSAL OF APPLIANCE
At the end of its life span, the appliance must be eliminated by a specialised company, respecting all
existing laws and regulations.
This will make it possible to dispose of the old appliance while at the same time recuperating and
sorting synthetic materials that are fit for recycling, thus contributing to the protection of the environment.
