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
with European Directive 2002/96/EG
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 circ u l a t i o n .
• 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
p revent air from flowing through any gaps.
