Deactivation and scrapping of appliance
OBLIGATION OF DISPOSING OF MATERIALS USING THE LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE
IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE APPLIANCE IS SCRAPPED
In compliance with Directives (see Section n. 0.1) relating to the reduction of use of hazardous sub-
stances in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as waste disposal. The symbol of the barred
waste bin carried on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product at the end of its useful life
must be disposed of separately from other waste.
Differentiated waste collection of this appliance at the end of its life is organised and implemented by
the manufacturer. The user who wishes to get rid of this appliance must contact the manufacturer and
follow the instructions received to separately dispose of the appliance at the end of its life.
An appropriate collection and dispatching of exhausted appliances to environmentally compatible re-
cycling, treatment and disposal plants helps to prevent damaging effects on health and environment
and also guarantees that the component parts of exhausted appliances are effectively recycled and/or
reused. Holders of exhausted appliances who dispose of them illegally will be prosecuted according to
the in force standards.
Appliance deactivation and scrapping are entrusted to skilled electrical and mechanical
personnel, who must wear the individual protection devices provided, such as clothing with
characteristics suitable to the operations to be performed, protective gloves, accident pre-
vention shoes, helmets and goggles.
Before starting disassembly, create a space around the appliance, wide and tidy enough to
allow the operator movements in safety conditions.
It is necessary to:
• Clear the electric network.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electric network.
• Remove the appliance exit electrical cables.
• Close water entry cock (network valve) from the waterworks.
• Disconnect and remove the waterworks' pipes from the appliance.
• Disconnect and remove the pipe for grey water drain exit.
After disassembly, there could be a wet area around the appliance, therefore, dry these
zones before proceeding further.
When the operating area has been reset through this procedure, it is necessary to:
• Remove the protection panels.
• Strip down the appliance in its main parts.
• Separate the appliance parts according to their typology (eg. metallic materials, electric materials etc.)
and dispatch them to waste separation centres.
