unsorted municipal waste. Instead, please contact your local city office, your

waste disposal service or the manufacturer through its service agent to

separately collect the appliance for treatment and recycling.

Note: The disposal of electronic and electrical appliances in landfill sites or through

incineration creates a number of environmental problems. When obsolete materials

are not recycled, raw materials have to be processed to make new products. This

represents significant loss of resources as the energy, transport and environmental

damage caused by these processes is considerable.

Another problem is that these types of appliances may contain gases such as

hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used as the refrigeration coolant. HFCs are greenhouse

gases which when emitted into the atmosphere contribute to climate change.

Fluorescent lighting from the appliance may contain potentially harmful substances

such as toxic heavy metals, in particular mercury, cadmium and lead. If they enter the

body, these substances can cause damage to liver, kidneys and the brain. Mercury is

also a neurotoxin and has the ability to build up in the food chain.

To help in the recovery and recycling process of this appliance, do not dismantle

or break parts off the appliance prior to collection. By removing parts off the

appliance, you can reduce its recyclability rate.

The symbol below, which is also on the Product Label inside the appliance,

indicates the need for separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment

based on the European Community (EC) WEEE Directive.

Note: As an end-user, it is your responsibility and contribution to recycling to ensure

that the appliance is not thrown away with unsorted municipal waste, but is collected

separately from a recycling company. Please contact the relevant recycling company

or the local Frigoglass Sales Office for further information regarding collection

arrangements

Finally, observe any recycling laws applicable to your community or country.
