PART 8. 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.
