WEEE DIRECTIVE
Important Environmental Information – European Economic Area only
This appliance has been assessed in accordance with the European Parliament
Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, usually referred to as the
WEEE Directive.
The WEEE Directive requires that the appliance be disposed of at the end of its useful
life in an environmentally responsible manner. Parts and materials should be re-used
or re-cycled in order that the use of new resources and amount of waste going for
landfill can be minimized.
The WEEE Directive stipulates that the supplier should collect the used item without
cost for you. Please inform the supplier of your wish to have the old appliance
collected when ordering the replacement.
If you wish to dispose of the appliance yourself, do not mix it with unsorted municipal
waste. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on the unit label
(figure 10)
indicates
this requirement. You must ensure that the appliance is disposed of at an authorised
treatment facility. Details can be obtained from your local council.
