DISPOSING OF PACKAGING MATERIALS
Packaging materials protect your appliance from damage that may occur
during transport. These materials are environmentally friendly since
they are recyclable. Recycling materials both saves raw materials and
reduces waste production.
Disposing of your old appliance
SELECTIVE COLLECTION OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC WASTE
This device bears the WEEE symbol (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment), meaning that at the end of its life, it should not be thrown
away with household waste, but dropped off at your local sorting centre.
Waste recovery helps preserve our environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU
To preserve our environment and our health, the end-of-life disposal of electrical
and electronic devices must be done according to very specific rules and requires
the involvement of everyone, whether supplier or user.
This is why your appliance, as indicated by the symbol
the packaging, should under no circumstances be thrown into a public or private
bin intended for household waste. The user has the right to take the device to
public collection points which selectively sort waste to be either recycled or
reused for other applications in accordance with the directive.
For the safety of children, store your old appliances in a safe place until
they are disposed of, outside your home.
