European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment – WEEE.
The directive requires that old household electronic appliances must not
be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol

the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliances to public waste collection areas,

method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your appliance and

of properly.
Ensure the tubing of the refrigerant circuit is not damaged prior to
proper disposal.
