Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: 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. Exhausted appliances may be collected
by the public waste collection service, taken to
suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted
by current national legislation, they may be returned
to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new
equivalent product. All major manufacturers of
household appliances participate in the creation and
organisation of systems for the collection and
disposal of old and disused appliances.
