Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),
requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream� Old appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment�
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected�
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance�
