SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES

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, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and 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.

Conformity

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 too.
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 so as 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
Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and some products such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
Take the precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5days.
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

Tips for storing food in the fridge

Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
The appliance is suitable for storage of a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages and other food consumed in the short term. Suggested storage time 3days to 5days.
