CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Disposal of Your Old Appliance
• This crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that waste
electrical and electronic products (WEEE) should be
disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream.
Please dispose of old devices separately from other waste
and take them to a designated collection point for
electrical and electronic waste. In case the devices contain
batteries or lamps that can be readily removable by end-
user without damage, please separate them from the main
devices before disposing them unless you want the old
devices reused (waste batteries and lamps are collected
separately). Please also note that you are personally
responsible for clearing personal information on the
device before disposing of your devices.
• Old electrical products can contain hazardous substances so correct
disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health. Your old
appliance may contain reusable parts that could be used to repair
other products, and other valuable materials that can be recycled to
conserve limited resources.
• You can take your appliance either to the shop where you purchased
the product, or contact your local government waste office for details
of your nearest authorized WEEE collection point. Please note that
