DISPOSAL
Meaning of the "WEEE" logo found in labels
The following symbol is applied in accordance with the EC
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive.
This symbol (
valid only in countries of the European Com-
munity ) indicates that the product it applies to must NOT be
disposed of together with ordinary domestic or industrial waste
but must be sent to a differentiated waste collection system.
The end user is therefore invited to contact the supplier of the
device, whether the Parent Company or a retailer, to initiate the
collection and disposal process after checking the contractual
terms and conditions of sale.
