Crossed out rubbish bin
For customers in EU countries
The DEEP BLUE system is subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU relating to
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - WEEE, and to the corresponding nation-
al laws. Here, the WEEE Directive forms the basis for handling waste electrical equip-
ment across the whole of the EU. The DEEP BLUE system is marked with the symbol
of a crossed out rubbish bin,
see "Fig. 47: Crossed out rubbish bin"
. Waste electri-
cal and electronic equipment must not be disposed of as normal household waste,
because this could allow entry of pollutants to the environment which have effects
injurious to health on humans, animals, and plants, and which build up in the food
chain and in the environment. In addition, valuable raw materials are lost in this way.
Please therefore direct your waste equipment for separate collection in an environ-
mentally friendly way; to do so, contact your Torqeedo Service team or boat builder.
For customers in other countries
The DEEP BLUE system is subject to European directive 2012/19/EUregarding waste
electrical and electronic equipment. We recommend that the system is not discard-
ed as normal household waste, but is disposed of via separate collection in an envi-
ronmentally friendly way. Your national laws may also prescribe this. Please therefore
ensure appropriate disposal of the system as per the regulations which apply in your
country.
