Environmentally-friendly waste management
Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging by
environmentally-friendly means.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using
only the materials which are strictly necessary to guarantee
efficient protection during transport. These materials are 100%
recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can
also contribute to caring for the environment by following the
advice below:
■
Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin.
■
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable
it. Contact your local authority to find out the address of your
nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance.
■
Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed
container and take it to an appropriate collection point or,
failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it
will avoid contaminating ground water)
This appliance complies with European directive 2002/96/EC
