WARNING
Treatment of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life
(applicable in all countries of the European Union and in other European systems
with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product
should not be considered as normal household waste, but should be
taken instead to a facility authorized to dispose of waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).
By making sure that this product is disposed of correctly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for
the environment and for health, which could otherwise be caused by
inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to conserve natural
resources.
For more detailed information about recycling this product, contact your
municipal office, local waste disposal service or the shop where it was
purchased.
More specifically, consumers shall not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but shall dispose
of this type of waste separately, in one of two possible ways:
1) By taking it to municipal collection centres (also called eco-collection centres or recycling
facilities), directly or through the collection services of municipal companies, where these are
available.
2) By taking it to shops selling new electrical and electronic equipment.
Here, very small items of the WEEE type (with the longest side less than 25 cm) can be left
free of charge, while larger ones can be left on a 1-for-1 basis, i.e., you can leave the old item
when you buy a new one having the same function.
In the event of illegal disposal of electrical or electronic equipment, the fines provided for by
current legislation on environmental protection may be applied (Italian regulation; check the
regulations in force in the country of use/disposal of the vehicle).
If the WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, they must be removed and subjected to
specific separate collection.
