WEEE
:
Meaning of crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities. Contact
your local government for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are
disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones,
the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old
appliance for disposal, free of charge.
