INFORMATION ON THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT pursuant to EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE
2012/19/EU FOR THE DISPOSAL OF 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.
Large retailers (having a sales surface area of at least 400 m2) are required to provide a free take-back service for small WEEE
products (with external dimensions not exceeding 25 cm), even if a new equivalent product is not purchased.
Sorted disposal of electric and electronic equipment prevents potentially negative consequences on the environment and
human health due to improper scrapping, and also allows the constituent materials to be recovered and recycled, with
significant savings in terms of energy and resources.
The sorted disposal requirement is indicated by the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol affixed to the product.
