Important Environmental Information for Users within the European Economic Area
The European Parliament did enforce new regulations developed in 2005 concerning the disposal medical electrical and
electronic equipment. The regulations, called Directives, place responsibilities on the supplier and you, the purchaser/user.
One of the actions required is to inform users of their obligations.
The device has been assessed in accordance with the European Parliament Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, usually referred to as WEEE Directive.
The WEEE Directive requires that the device be disposed of at the end of its useful life in an environmentally responsible
manner. Similar requirements have been applied to refrigerators for some time.
The WEEE Directive requires that if replacing the device with a new equivalent product, that supplier shall collect the old
item without cost to the user.
If you wish to dispose of the device without replacing it then the device must not be mixed with unsorted municipal waste.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the unit label or packaging, and repeated below, indicates this requirement.
Disposal Symbol, disposal to be compliant with EN 50419
