							~Do not use defrosting sprays or
de-icers, as they might contain
substances which could damage the
plastic parts or which could cause a
build-up of gases and pose a danger to
health.
~Do not use any oils or grease on the

the plinth or the top of the appliance
housing unit, as this can impair the

Disposal of your old appliance
~Before disposing of an old
appliance, first make the door latch or

- bending any pipework.
- scratching the surface coating.
Splashes of refrigerant can damage the
eyes.
~Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you intentionally release this CFC

and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation. Make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed and disposed
of by a qualified technician.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by
