Environmental Responsibility - Smeg SE70S-6 Manual

2. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, 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 useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore,
the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its
working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical
and electronic refuse, or deliver it back 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. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in 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.
2.1.1 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 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 household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal
enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and
leave shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children
cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also
necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply, removing it
along with the plug.
