This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding electric and
electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances (that can have a negative
effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused). It is important that the WEEE undergo
specific treatements to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and recover all the materials. Individu-
als can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; it is
essential to follow a few basic rules;
- The WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
- The WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a registered
company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new appliance,
the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as one-off, as long as the
appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the purchased appliance.
