CAUTION
Disposing of electrical or electronic devices at the end of their life (applicable in all
European Union countries 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 instead
taken to an appropriate collection point for recycling 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 could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to conserve
natural resources.
For more detailed information about recycling this product, you
can contact your municipal office, local waste disposal service or
the outlet where you purchased it.
Specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must dispose
of this type of waste separately, in two possible ways:
1) At municipal collection centres (also called eco-stations, recycling points), directly or via
the collection services of municipal companies, where these are available;
2) At sales outlets selling new electrical and electronic equipment. Here, very small WEEE
(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 product when you buy a new one with the
same function.
In the event of illegal disposal of electrical or electronic equipment, the penalties
provided for by current legislation on environmental protection may be applied (Italian
legislation; it is necessary to check the regulations in force in the country of use/disposal
of the vehicle).
If WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, these must be removed and disposed of via
specific separate waste collection.
