Environmental protection
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging bears the Green Dot mark.
Dispose of all the packaging materials such as
cardboard, expanded polystyrene and plastic
wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you
can be sure that the packaging materials will be
re-used. Keep all packaging away from small
children as it may present suffocation/choking
hazard.
Disposal of equipment no longer used
According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on
the management of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances
should not be put into the normal systems for
disposal of solid urban waste.
Outdated appliances should be collected
separately to optimise component material
recovery and recycling rates and to prevent
potential harm to human health and the
environment. The symbol of a rubbish container
superimposed by a diagonal cross should be put
on all such products to remind people of their
obligation to have such items collected separately.
Consumers should contact their local authorities
or point of sale and request information on the
appropriate places to leave their old home
electrical appliances.
Before disposing of your appliance, render it non-
usable by pulling out the power cable, cutting it off
and disposing of it.
