Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its

implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of

in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:

As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the

device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used

device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial

waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without

any electrical components which are included with the used device.

Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP)

would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leaked to the atmosphere.

This appliance contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to 2088. This means that if 1 kg of this

refrigerant fluid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 2088 times

higher than 1 kg of CO2, over a period of 100 years. Never try to interfere with the refrigerant circuit

yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional.
