Disposal
•
When disposing of packaging material:
observe local legislation so that the
packaging may be reused.
•
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on
Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not
be disposed of in the normal unsorted
municipal waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on
the product reminds you of your
obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance
to public waste collection areas, other
communal collection areas, or if national
legislation allows return it to a retailer
when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance
manufacturers are active in the creation
of systems to manage the collection and
disposal of old appliances.
