Disposal
This appliance is labelled in accordance with the
European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive 2002/96/EC. Under current legislation,
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
must be collected and parts of the products must
be recycled. Electrical and electronic equipment
carrying the WEEE label must be taken to a municipal
recycling centre.Electrical and electronic equipment
(EEE) contains materials, components and substances
which may be hazardous to human health and the
environment if the WEEE waste is not disposed of
correctly.
Electrical and electronic products carry the crossed-
out wheelie bin label below. The crossed-out wheelie
bin symbol means that WEEE waste must not be
disposed of together with general unsorted household
waste, but must be collected separately. For this
purpose, municipalities have established collection
schemes where waste electrical and electronic
equipment may be taken free of charge by citizens
to household waste recycling centres or approved
authorised treatment facilities (AATFs) – or collected
directly from households. For more information,
contact your local authority’s environment and
planning department.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment must not
dispose of WEEE waste with their normal household
waste. They must use the local collection schemes
to reduce the impact on the environment from the
disposal of WEEE waste and increase the recycling
and reuse of WEEE waste.
