3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

3.1

Our environmental care

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 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 working 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.
Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative sanctions.

The appliance does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health
and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.

3.2

Your environmental care

Our appliances are packed in non-polluting materials, which are 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 electrical

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 network, removing it along with the plug.
