used electrical equipment must be collected separately and recycled
in an environmentally responsible way.
To help protect the environment, please dispose of the product properly
when it has reached the end of its useful life and not in the household
waste. Information on collection points and their opening hours can be
obtained from your local authority.
Faulty or used batteries / rechargeable batteries must be recycled in
accordance with Directive 2006/66/EC and its amendments. Please
return the batteries / rechargeable batteries and / or the product to the

cal symbols for heavy metals are as follows: Cd = cadmium, Hg =
