DISPOSAL OF THE APPLIANCE
D
The European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) covering the disposal of electric and electronic
equipment dictates that such equipment must not be disposed of through normal solid urban
waste channels.
When such equipment has reached the end of its useful life, the user is bound take to
deliver it to authorized segregated waste collection centres or return it to the dealer on
purchasing a new equivalent type of appliance, on a one-to-one ratio .
For further information on segregated waste collection centres, contact a dealer or the
appropriate public authorities.
Effective segregated waste collection designed to subject the disposed equipment to
environmentally compatible recycling, processing and disposal processes contributes to the
avoidance of negative effects on the environment and on health, and enables the re-use of
the materials of which the appliance is composed.
Improper disposal of the product by the user is punishable according to the penalties laid
down in the legislation in force.
