Disposal
This appliance is labelled in accordance with the
European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive 2002/96/EC. Under current legislation, waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) must be
collected and parts of the products must be recycled.
Electrical and electronic equipment carrying the WEEE
label must be taken to a municipal recycling centre.
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains
materials, components and substances which may be
hazardous to human health and the environment if the
WEEE waste is not disposed of correctly. Electrical and
electronic products carry the crossed-out wheelie bin
label below. The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol means
that WEEE waste must not be disposed of together
with general unsorted household waste, but must be
collected separately.
For this purpose, local authorities have established
collection schemes whereby WEEE waste may be
taken free of charge by citizens to household waste
recycling centres or approved authorised treatment
facilities (AATFs) – or collected directly from households.
For more information, contact your local authority's
environment and planning department.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment must not
dispose of WEEE waste with their normal household
waste. They must use the local collection schemes to
reduce the impact on the environment from the disposal
of WEEE waste and increase the recycling and reuse of
WEEE waste.
