Every organisation is obliged to apply procedures to
identify and monitor the effects of its operations
(products, services, etc.) on the environment.
The procedures for identifying significant environ-
mental impacts must consider the factors listed be-
low.
– Atmospheric emissions
– Discharge of liquid effluents
– Waste management
– Soil contamination
– Use of raw materials and natural resources
– Local problems relating to environmental impact
For this purpose, the manufacture supplies informa-
tion which must be considered by all those author-
ised to interact with the appliance during its
expected lifetime, in order to prevent environmental
impact.
– All packaging materials must be disposed of
in accordance with the relevant laws in the
country of use.
– During use and maintenance, do not dump
pollutants (oils, fats, etc.) in the environ-
ment; implement separate disposal as ap-
propriate to the composition of the various
materials and in compliance with the relevant
laws.
– If the appliance is scrapped, sort all components
IT
by characteristics and dispose of them separate-
ly.

The rate of accidents deriving from the use of
appliances depends on many factors which
cannot always be foreseen and controlled.
Some accidents may be caused by unpredict-
able environmental factors, while others are
due above all to the behaviour of users. As
well as receiving authorisation and appropri-
ate instruction, if necessary, the first time they
use the appliance, users must carry out a few
simulated practice operations in order to get
to know the controls and the main functions.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
The Safe Disposal of Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE Directive 2002/96/
EC)
Important
Do not dump pollutant material in the envi-
ronment. Dispose of it in compliance with
the relevant laws.
Under the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) Directive 2002/96/EC, when scrapping
equipment the user must dispose of it at the specific
authorised disposal centres, or reconsign it, still in-
stalled, to the original seller on purchase of new
equipment.
All equipment which must be disposed of in accord-
ance with the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC is
marked with a special symbol (see page 4).
Important
The improper disposal of Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment is liable to pun-
ishment under the relevant laws in the
countries where the offence is committed.
Waste electrical and Electronic Equipment
may contain hazardous substances with
potential harmful effects on the environ-
ment and human health. You are urged to
dispose of them properly.
Use only as intended by the constructor and
never tamper with any device to obtain per-
formance levels outside the rated specifica-
tions.
Before use, check that the safety devices are
properly installed and in good working order.
As well as taking care to meet these require-
ments, users must also implement all safety
regulations and read the description of the
controls and the start-up procedure carefully.
