INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE
2006/66/EC AND CHANGES INTRODUCED BY DIRECTIVE 2013/56 / EU
Replace batteries when they are depleted. At the end of their life, batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted
waste. They must be taken to designated recycling centres or returned to a retailer providing this service. Separate
disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal,
and also allows their constituent materials to be recovered and recycled, resulting in significant savings in terms of energy
and resources. In order to highlight the obligation regarding separate disposal, the battery carries the crossed-out dustbin
symbol. Illegal disposal of the product by the user may lead to administrative sanctions being applied as per current
regulations.

INFORMATION ON THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT pursuant to Art. 26 of (Italian) Legislative Decree no. 49
of 14/03/14, “IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT”
At the end of its useful life, this appliance must not be disposed of together with household waste. We call your attention to the
crucial role played by the consumer in the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste.
The dismantled appliance, with its components collected separately, must be delivered to the local waste disposal facility or
returned to the dealer free of charge when purchasing a new equivalent appliance.
Sorted disposal of electric and electronic equipment prevents potentially negative consequences on the environment and human
health due to improper waste disposal, and also allows the constituent materials to be recovered and recycled, with significant
savings in terms of energy and resources.
In order to highlight the obligation regarding separate disposal of these devices, the appliance carries the crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol.
