Disposal
Notes
The European directive 2012 / 19 / CE on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances
must not be disposed in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must
be collected separately in order to optimize the
recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled
bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance
it must be separately collected. Consumers
should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of
their old appliance.
