This appliance is marked a cording to
the European directive 2012/19/EU
on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances (which
can cause negative consequences for the
environment) and basic components (which can
be re-used).
It is important to have WEEE subjected to
specific treatments, in order to remove and
dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and
recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring
that WEEE does not become an environmental
issue; it is
• WEEE should not be treated as household
waste;
• WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality
or by registered companies. In many countries,
for large WEEE, home collection could be
present.
In many countries, when you buy a new appliance,
the old one may be returned to the retailer who
has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one
basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent
type and has the same functions as the supplied
equipment.
