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.
