Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using
only the materials which are strictly necessary to guarantee
efficient protection during transport. These materials are 100%
recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can
also contribute to caring for the environment by following the
advice below:
■
Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin.
■
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable
it. Contact your local authority to find out the address of your
nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance.
■
Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed
container and take it to an appropriate collection point or,
failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it
will avoid contaminating ground water)
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European
Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the
