Information on recycling and disposal 

  

As part of our continual commitment towards environmental protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality components to 
reduce costs for our customers and to minimise materials wastage.
•  Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.
•  In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush with the ap-

pliance.   Dispose of these parts separately to prevent the appliance from being connected to a power supply socket.

Disposal of old household appliances

 

European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household 
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected 
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials comprising the machine, while preventing 
potential damage to public health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to 

remind owners of the obligations regarding separate waste collection.
Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealers for further information concerning the correct disposal of hou-
sehold appliances.
