9. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION Processing of electrical and electronic equipment after their period of use (Only applicable in the E.U.)
In order to reduce the amount of waste of electric and electronic apparatus, to reduce the danger of components, to encourage
the reuse of apparatus, to assess waste and to set up a suitable waste treatment system, with the aim of improving the
efficiency of environmental protection, a set of rules has been established applicable to the manufacture of the product and
other rules regarding the correct environmental treatment when these products become waste.
It is also intended to improve the environmental practices of all agents involved in electrical and electronic goods, including
manufacturers, distributors, users and particularly those directly involved in the treatment of waste derived from these
apparatus.
th
Since August 13
, 2005, there are two ways of disposing of this apparatus:
• if you purchase a new equivalent apparatus or which has the same functions as the one you wish to dispose of, you can hand it
