Disposal

• Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so

that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household

appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid

urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected

separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and

recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing

potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The

crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the

owner of their obligations regarding separated waste

collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of

household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public

authority or the local appliance dealer.
