The appliance's packaging is recyclable. The following may be used:
■
cardboard;
■
polyethylene film (PE);
■
CFC-free polystyrene (PS rigid foam).
Dispose of these materials responsibly and in accordance with government
regulations.
The government can also provide information about the responsible disposal of
discarded domestic appliances.
On the data plate is put the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
This means that at the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed
of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative
consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate
disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain
significant savings in energy and resources.
As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the
product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
