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
