DISPOSAL INFORMATION
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in
normal unsorted municipal waste.
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 on the product reminds you of your obligation,
that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers
should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
