1.7. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal
of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with
a strong environmental impact; this waste must not be
disposed of as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres where the
material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal
of waste materials
• When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dispose
of it in the environment, but take it to a waste disposal facility
in accordance with the local regulations in force.
Do not throw electrical equipment away with
domestic waste. According to the European
Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic
equipment waste and its implementation in
compliance with national standards, old electrical
equipment must be collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is
disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and
contaminate the food chain, damaging your health
and well-being. For further information on the
disposal of this product, contact your dealer or a
domestic waste collection service.
At the end of their working life, dispose of batteries
paying due attention to the environment. Batteries
contain material classified as hazardous for you
and the environment. They must be removed and
disposed of separately at a facility that accepts
lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products and
packaging used allows the materials to be recycled
and reused. Reuse of recycled materials help to
prevent environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials.
