DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European directive 2012/19/EU 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 optimize 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 should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
