WARNING
Treatment of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life (applicable in all
countries of the European Union and in other European systems with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product
should not be considered as normal household waste, but should be taken
instead to a facility authorized to dispose of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
potential negative consequences for the environment and human health,
which may otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal. Recycling
materials will help to conserve natural resources.
For more detailed information about recycling this product, contact your
municipal office, local waste disposal service or the shop where it was
purchased.
More specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must dispose of this
type of waste separately, in one of two possible ways:
1) By taking it to municipal collection centres (also called eco-collection centres or recycling
facilities), directly or through the collection services of municipal companies, where these are
available.
2) By taking it to shops selling new electrical and electronic equipment.
Here, very small items of the WEEE type (with the longest side less than 25 cm) can be left free of
charge, while larger ones can be left on a 1-for-1 basis, i.e., you can leave the old item when you buy
a new one having the same function.
In the event of illegal disposal of electrical or electronic equipment, the fines provided for by current
legislation on environmental protection may be applied (Italian regulation; check the regulations in
force in the country of use/disposal of the vehicle).
If the WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, they must be removed and subjected to specific
separate collection.
