8. INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working life, the
product must not be disposed of
as urban waste. It must be taken

significant savings in energy and resources.

selective collection scheme, the symbol shown
appears on the product warning you not to
dispose of it in traditional refuse containers.
For further information, contact your local authority
or the shop where you bought the product.
