use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as waste disposal. The
symbol of the barred waste bin carried on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product at the
end of its useful life it must be disposed of separately from other waste.
Differentiated waste collection of this appliance at the end of its life is organised and implemented by
the manufacturer. The user who wishes to get rid of this appliance must contact the manufacturer and
follow the instructions received to separately dispose of the appliance at the end of its life. An appropriate
collection and dispatching of exhausted appliances to environmentally compatible recycling, treatment
and disposal plants helps to prevent damaging effects on health and environment and also guarantees
that the component parts of exhausted appliances are effectively recycled or reused. Holders of
exhausted appliances who dispose of them illegally will be prosecuted.
Specialised electrical and mechanical personnel are in charge of deactivation and
scrapping of the appliance. They must wear specific personal protective equipment such
as clothing suited for the operations to be carried out, protective gloves, safety shoes,
helmets and protective goggles.
Before starting to dismantle the appliance, create a sufficiently large and orderly space
around it so that one can move freely without any risks.
It is necessary to:
• Cut power from the electrical mains.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains.
• Remove the electrical wires coming out of the appliance.
• Shut the water supply cock (mains valve) of the waterworks.
• Disconnect and remove the piping from the appliance's water system.
• Disconnect and remove the greywater drainage piping.
After this operation, the area around the appliance could be wet. Therefore it should be
dried before proceeding with further operations.
Having restored the operative zone as said, it is necessary to:
• Disassemble the protective panels.
• Disassemble the main parts of the appliance.
• Separate the parts of the appliance according to their nature (e.g. metal, electrical materials, etc.) and
dispatch them to differentiated waste facilities.
