DISPOSAL
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical
appliances must not be disposed of in normal unsorted municipal
waste.
Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human
health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
