the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate (see below).

the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the
public waste collection service, taken to suitable
collection areas in the area or, if permitted by
current national legislation, they may be returned
to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a
new equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of
