DISPOSAL OF USED EQUIPMENT
This device has been designed and manufactured of high-quality reusable materials and components. The
symbol of the crossed waste container placed on the product (Fig. A) means that the product is subject to
selective collection in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council. A crossed-out wheelie bin symbol (Fig. B) placed on the product means that the product
contains batteries that are subject to separate collection in accordance with the provisions of Directive
2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. Such marking informs that electrical and
electronic equipment and batteries (if any) must not be disposed of with other household waste after the
period of use. The user is obliged to return waste equipment and batteries (if any) to collection points for
waste electrical and electronic equipment and batteries (if any). Collectors of such waste, including waste
equipment collectors, treatment plants, distributors (shops), municipal waste separate collection points
(municipal units), and other entities specified by law form an appropriate system to return this kind of
equipment. Correct disposal of waste equipment and batteries (if any) allows avoiding consequences that
may be harmful to health and the environment, caused by the possible presence of hazardous components in
the equipment and batteries, and inappropriate storage and processing of such equipment and batteries.
Households play an important role in contributing to the reuse and recovery, including recycling, of waste
equipment. At this stage, attitudes are formed, affecting the common good, which is a clean natural
environment. Moreover, households are one of the largest users of small equipment and the rational
management thereof at this stage affects the recovery of secondary raw materials. Penalties may be imposed
in accordance with national legislation for improper disposal of this product. If the device has a lock, please
remove it for the safety of all persons who may later come into contact with the device. Some refrigerators
and freezers contain insulation material and CFC refrigerant. Therefore, be careful not to pollute the
environment when you dispose of your old refrigerator.
