Environmental protection

Recommendations for the disposal
of packaging
• Respect the environment when disposing
of the packaging your appliance comes
packed in.
• Our products are carefully packed for
transportation. All of the material used in
our packaging is environmentally friendly
(the cardboard is manufactured from
used paper) and may be recycled.
• Recycling packaging helps conserve raw
materials and reduces the amount of
waste produced in the world.
• Actively help protect the environment by
disposing of packaging properly. Take it
to your nearest local council disposal
point or it may be possible to return it to
your supplier.
• Packaging material is not a toy. To
prevent the risk of asphyxia, do not let
children play with the cardboard or
plastic used for packaging.
Recommendations for the disposal
of your old appliance
• Unplug your appliance from the mains
electricity supply and cut the power
cable.
• Appliances of this kind include both
recyclable material, which may be used
again, and hazardous products (such as
heavy metals and liquid refrigerants),
which may pollute the soil or the
atmosphere. Actively help protect the
environment by ensuring that your old
appliance is disposed of in accordance
with environmentally friendly practices.
Dispose of your appliance at an official
disposal or recycling point (ask your
Local council where the nearest disposal
point is). Appliances of this kind contain
refrigerants which must be disposed of in
accordance with current regulations.
• This appliance complies with European
Directive 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical and electronic
equipment. The directive
provides the general
framework valid throughout
the European Union for the
disposal and reuse of waste
electric and electronic
appliances.
Recommendations for saving
energy
Your appliance consumes energy when in
use. The consumption of energy produces
an environmental impact. Energy
consumption can be reduced, enhancing
the efficiency of your appliance. To do this:
• Turn your air appliance off when it is not
needed.
• Select an ideal temperature; excessively
low temperatures result in high energy
consumption.
• Locate your appliance away from
possible heat sources (sunlight, etc.) and
in a position with good air circulation.
• Ensure that your appliance is installed
properly. Energy consumption can be
cut by up to 30% by reducing the entry
of heat into the room with awnings,
blinds or curtains over glazed surfaces.
• Use the accessories supplied with your
appliance and the specific accessories
described in "Description of accessories"
in order to minimise the entry of air from
outside the room. When using
accessories which require holes to be
drilled in walls or windows, the hole
should be as precise as possible and
sealed with silicon, plaster or similar to
prevent air from flowing through any
gaps.
• When expelling hot air through sliding
windows, install the accessory which
prevents hot air from outdoors from
entering the room and enhances
efficiency.
• Make sure that the air intakes and
outlets are not blocked. Keep them
clean and free of dirt, dust and foreign
objects.
• Make sure that the filters fitted on your
appliance are clean and installed
properly (see "Cleaning and
Maintenance").
• In the summer, ventilate the building
when the air outdoors is at its coolest
(early morning, night).
