1. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

1.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Community Directives relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the
crossed-out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of
its working life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the
user must deliver the product that has reached the end of its working life to the
appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic refuse, or return it to the retailer
when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate selective
collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling,
treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative
effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of
which the appliance consists. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous
to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.
1.2 Your environmental care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the
environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can
obtain the addresses of local collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or
from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of
electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of
valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance, you should remove the grease filter to ensure that
children cannot accidentally become trapped inside whilst playing. It is also necessary to cut
the connecting cable to the mains, removing it along with the plug.
