CONTENTS
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU and Polish legislation regarding used elec-
trical 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 collection centre collect-
ing used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops
and local authority departments provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical
and electronic goods helps avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence
of dangerous components and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.

For many years, Amica has consistently pursued pro-ecological policy.
Concern for the environment is as important for us as the use of modern technology. That's why we
focus on energy-ecient appliances of the highest energy eciency class — A+, A++ and A+++.
The development of technology has enabled our factories to become more environmentally friendly
– we use less and less water, electricity and less waste water and solid waste is generated in the pro-
duction.
A lot of attention is paid to materials used in production. We strive to use only those that do not con-
tain harmful substances and make recycling and safe disposal possible after use.
