Gamko BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all
requirements contained in the Directive 2002/96/EC, known as WEEE,
or the Directive referring to Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment. This product conforms to the directive 2002/96/EC. At the
end of its useful life the product, which is to be processed separate
from household waste, should be transferred to a collection point of
separate waste from electrical and electronic equipment. The objective
of the Directive 2002/96/EC is to combat the increasing volumes of
waste from electrical and electronic equipment, to increase the re-use
of electrical and electronic equipment ("EEE") and finally to limit the
total volume of waste EEE ("WEEE") destined to be disposed of. The
symbol of the crossed out waste bin indicates that this product is
subject to the application of this Directive. It is the responsibility of the
user to transfer the product to specialized collection points, as
indicated by local legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of
a new product the old WEEE product can be collected by the distributor
at the same time. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are
responsible for the collection and processing of the waste which is
collected directly or through a collection point. The enclosed list
contains Gamko BV distributors per country. Any violation of the above
mentioned Directive will result in sanction measures in all of these
countries. In general Gamko BV applies the "CECED interpretation"
(European Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical household
appliances) according to which the WEEE legislation is applicable to
portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers, window- air conditioning, split
systems up to 12 kW,
