Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. Deliver the appliance immediately to an authorized dump; do not leave it unattended even for a few days, since it is potentially dangerous for children. For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. Information: This appliance does not contain CFC (the refrigerant circuit contains RI34a) or HFC (the refrigerant circuit contains R600a) (refer to the rating plate inside the appliance). Appliances with Isobutane (R600a): isobutane is a naturally occurring, low environmental impact gas. Caution is required, however, because isobutane is flammable. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that refrigerant pipelines are not damaged. This product contains Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, the refrigerant gas being in a hermetically sealed system. Refrigerant gas: RI34a has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) 1300.
