CHAPTER 8 . DISPOSAL OF USED EQUIPMENT
This device has been designed and manufactured of high-quality reusable materials and components.
The symbol of the crossed waste container placed on the product (Fig. A) means that the product is subject
to selective collection in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council. A crossed-out wheelie bin symbol (Fig. B) placed on the product means that the product
contains batteries that are subject to separate collection in accordance with the provisions of Directive
2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. Such marking informs that electrical and
electronic equipment and batteries (if any) must not be disposed of with other household waste after the
period of use.
The user is obliged to return waste equipment and batteries (if any) to collection points for waste electrical
and electronic equipment and batteries (if any). Collectors of such waste, including waste equipment
collectors, treatment plants, distributors (shops), municipal waste separate collection points (municipal units),
and other entities specified by law form an appropriate system to return this kind of equipment.
Correct disposal of waste equipment and batteries (if any) allows avoiding consequences that may be harmful
to health and the environment, caused by the possible presence of hazardous components in the equipment
and batteries, and inappropriate storage and processing of such equipment and batteries. Households play
an important role in contributing to the reuse and recovery, including recycling, of waste equipment. At this
stage, attitudes are formed, affecting the common good, which is a clean natural environment.
Moreover, households are one of the largest users of small equipment and the rational management thereof
at this stage affects the recovery of secondary raw materials.
Penalties may be imposed in accordance with national legislation for improper disposal of this product.
If the device has a lock, please remove it for the safety of all persons who may later come into contact with
the device.
Some refrigerators and freezers contain insulation material and CFC refrigerant. Therefore, be careful not
to pollute the environment when you dispose of your old refrigerator.
