The insect screen may appear wavy, especially if its surface area is large. This is natural and cannot be reasonably claimed as a product defect on warranty.
7. Removal and end-of-life disposal
Pursuant to the Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE),
waste equipment labelled with the ‘crossed-out wheelie bin’ must not be disposed of with household waste. The user of waste equipment must hand it
over to a designated WEEE collection facility for proper processing. The ;crossed-out wheelie bin’ means that this equipment was marketed after 13
August 2005. The legal obligations of waste equipment users became enforceable to reduce the waste generated from waste electrical and electronic
equipment and to assure a proper share of WEEE collection, recovery and recycling. This equipment contains no hazardous components with any severe
impact on humans or the environment.
Pursuant to the Polish Electrical Battery Act of 24 April 2009, “Article 44: The end user shall hand over waste portable rechargeable and non-
rechargeable batteries (which may include spent portable rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries no longer being viable sources of electrical
power) to a collector or collection point for waste rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries”.
Moreover: “Article 12: It is forbidden to dispose of waste rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries in the same waste container with other
waste”.
Prevent hazards to human and animal health and environmental pollution hazards by disposing of waste rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries in
dedicated containers at designated waste collection points.
Detailed specifications for handling WEEE and waste rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries are regulated by Polish and EU
environmental protection laws.
