09.1 DISCARDED MATERIALS AND THEIR DISPOSAL
Spare parts replaced during the machine's product life are to be considered waste and must be taken to special collec-
tion centres or entrusted to authorised disposal centres.
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a sealed lid. Until the coals definitively go out, the closed container
must be placed on a non-combustible base and kept away from combustible materials.
Only when the ashes go out can they be thrown into the organic waste collection, naturally without nails or non-organic
materials.
The ashes from natural wood (untreated) derived from stove or fireplace combustion are mainly composed of calcium,
silicon, potassium and magnesium oxides. For this reason, the ashes can be dispersed as fertilizer for plants or for the
garden, not exceeding 2.6 Kg on 10m
2
yearly.
The machine must be disposed of in a manner that complies with the laws in force and the environment.
