Environmental protection

Recommendations for the
disposal of packaging
• Respect the environment when
disposing of the packaging your
appliance comes packed in.
• Our products are carefully packed for
transportation. All of the material used
in our packaging is environmentally
friendly (the cardboard is manufactured
from used paper) and may be recycled.
• Recycling packaging helps conserve
raw materials and reduces the amount
of waste produced in the world.
• Actively help protect the environment
by disposing of packaging properly.
Take it to your nearest local council
disposal point or it may be possible to
return it to your supplier.
Recommendations for the
disposal of your old appliance
• Unplug your appliance from the mains
electricity supply and cut the power
cable.
• Appliances of this kind include both
recyclable material, which may be used
again, and hazardous products (such
as heavy metals and liquid
refrigerants), which may pollute the soil
or the atmosphere. Actively help protect
the environment by ensuring that your
old appliance is disposed of in
accordance with environmentally
friendly practices. Dispose of your
appliance at an official disposal or
recycling point (ask your local council
where the nearest disposal point is).
Appliances of this kind contain
refrigerants which must be disposed of
in accordance with current regulations.
• This appliance is labelled in accordance

concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (waste electrical
and electronic equipment - WEEE). The
guideline determines the framework for
he return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the
EU.
Recommendations for saving
energy
Your appliance consumes energy when
in use. The consumption of energy
produces an environmental impact.
Energy consumption can be reduced
enhancing the efficiency of your
appliance.
• Turn your air appliance off when it is
not needed.
• Select an ideal temperature;
excessively low temperatures result in
high energy consumption.
• Locate your appliance away from
possible heat sources (sunlight, etc.) and
in a position with good air circulation.
• Ensure that your appliance is installed
properly. The energy consumed can be
cut by up to 30% by reducing the entry
of heat into the room with awnings,
blinds or curtains on glazed surfaces.
• Use the accessories supplied with your
appliance and the specific accessories
described in "Description of
accessories" in order to minimise the
entry of air from outdoors. When using
accessories which require holes to be
drilled in walls or windows, the hole
should be as precise as possible and
sealed with silicon, plaster or similar
material to prevent air from flowing
through any gaps.
• It is recommended that you follow the
manufacturer's instructions concerning
the air expulsion tube (see "Ways of
releasing air outdoors") in order to
prevent efficiency loss and
unnecessary energy consumption.
• Avoid sharp bends on the air expulsion
tube and do not lengthen it more than
necessary.
