Recycling packaging and old microwaves
Packaging
Our microwaves are efficiently packaged to guard against transit risks. To respect the
environment packaging has been reduced to its strictest necessity. Packaging parts
(e.g. sheets, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children. There is a risk of suffocation!
Keep children away from these parts of the packaging.
All the packaging materials used respect the environment and can be recycled.
The cardboard parts are made from recycled paper. The synthetic parts are
characterised as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene e.g. packaging sheets
>PS< for polystyrene e.g. stuffing parts (with CFCs)
>PP< for polypropylene e.g. taping.
Recycling makes it possible to save raw materials and reduces the volume of waste
to dispose of.
Take the packaging of your microwave to a recycling centre whose address will be
given to you by your district or municipal authority
Old microwaves
Before recycling your old microwave make it unusable. Remove the plug.
Then give it to your reseller when a new microwave is delivered or take it to a
recycling centre.

Do not use your microwave immediately (wait an hour or two) after transferring it
from a cold place to a hot place because condensation can cause it to malfunction.

is free circulation of air around the oven. Choose a location allowing a minimum free
space of 5 cm between the sides of the microwave and the walls, 14 cm above your

underneath and at the back of the microwave and make sure that the electrical plug
is accessible after installation.
