Warning:
Risk of fire/flammable material. The symbol indicates there is a risk of fire since flammable materials are used. Take care to avoid causing a fire by igniting flammable material. This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, to remove and dispose properly of all pollutants, and to recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:
- WEEE should not be treated as household waste.
- WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
Energy Saving
For better energy saving we suggest:
- Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well-ventilated room.
- Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore causing continuous functionality of the compressor.
- Do not excessively stuff foods to ensure proper air circulation.
- Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
- In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
- Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
- Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
- Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance
