DISPOSAL
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the
crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the appliance must be
disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its useful life. The user must therefore
take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre for electrical and electronic
equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling the disposal, the user can hand over the
appliance to the retailer when a new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over
electronic products measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a
sales area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy. Appropriate
separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the decommissioned appliance for
recycling, which includes treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent
adverse effects on the environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling
materials that the appliance consists of.
