IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The refrigeration used in refrigerator/freezer and the gases in the insulation
material require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on
the back of the appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
WARNING
CAUTION
Before disposing of old appliances, make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains,
severe the power cable, and remove or destroy any snap or latch closures.
This eliminates the danger of any children locking themselves into the appliance
(danger of suffocation) or placing themselves into other life-threatening situations.
• The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
• The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance,
may not be damaged.
• Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the
local disposal authorities.
