This appliance is marked according to the European
directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can
cause negative consequences for the environment)
and basic components (which can be re-used). It is
important to have WEEE subjected to specific
treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly
all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring
that WEEE does not become an environmental issue;
it is essential to follow some basic rules:
WEEE should not be treated as household waste.
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality or by
registered companies. In many countries, for large
WEEE, home collection could be present.
In many countries, when you buy a new appliance,
the old one may be returned to the retailer who has
to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as
long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has
the same functions as the supplied equipment.
