ECOLOGY IN PRACTICE

DISPOSAL OF OLD
APPLIANCE
In accordance with European Directive
2012/19/EU and local legislation re-
garding used electrical and electronic
goods, this appliance is marked with
the symbol of the crossed-out waste
container. This marking indicates that
the appliance must not be disposed
of together with other household waste after it has
been used.
The user is obliged to hand it over to waste collec-
tion centre collecting used electrical and electron-
ic goods. The collectors, including local collection
points, shops and local authority departments pro-
vide recycling schemes.
Proper handling of used electrical and electronic
goods helps avoid environmental and health haz-
ards resulting from the presence of dangerous com-
ponents and the inappropriate storage and process-
ing of such goods.

UNPACKING
During transportation, protective
packaging was used to protect the
appliance against any damage. Af-
ter unpacking, please dispose of all
elements of packaging in a way that
will not cause damage to the environ-
ment.
All materials used for packaging the appliance are
environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable
and are marked with the appropriate symbol.
Important! Packaging materials (bags, polyethyl-
ene, polystyrene, etc.) should be kept away from
children during unpacking.
