Gamko Holding BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all requirements contained in the
Directive 2002/96/CE, known as WEEE, or the Directive referring to Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment. This product conforms to the directive 2002/96/CE. At the end of its useful life the product, which
is to be processed separate from household waste, should be transferred to a collection point of separate
waste from electrical and electronic equipment. The objective of the Directive 2002/96/CE is to combat the
increasing volumes of waste from electrical and electronic equipment, to increase the re-use of electrical
and electronic equipment (“EEE”) and finally to limit the total volume of waste EEE (“WEEE”) destined to be
disposed of.
The symbol of the crossed out waste bin indicates that this product is subject to the application of this
Directive. It is the responsibility of the user to transfer the product to specialized collection points, as
indicated by local legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of a new product the old WEEE product
can be collected by the distributor at the same time. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are
responsible for the collection and processing of the waste which is collected directly or through a collection
point. The enclosed list contains Gamko Holding BV distributors per country. Any violation of the above
mentioned Directive will result in sanction measures in all of these countries. In general Gamko Holding BV
applies the “CECED interpretation” (European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical household appliances)
according to which the WEEE legislation is applicable to portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers, window- air
conditioning, split systems up to 12 kW, frigo’s and plug in freezer compartments. Nevertheless it is possible
that in the various member countries differences in legislation are detected. In case some products are not
included on the list of WEEE products following national legislation, the national legislation should be
adhered to, the WEEE directives applicable to products that are not included in the scope of these national
legislations should be omitted. The directive does not apply to products sold outside the European Union. In
case the product is to be sold outside the European Union, it is not necessary to adhere to the WEEE directive,
however, the vendor/distributor has to guarantee that local legislation is being observed. For further
information please refer to the local authority for waste collection, the vendor/ distributor/ installer who
supplied the product or directly to Gamko.
