Disposal

•  When  disposing  of  packaging  material:  observe  local 

legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

•  The European Directive 2012/19/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 

optimise 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 may take their old appliance to public waste 

collection areas, other communal collection areas, or 

if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when 

purchasing a similar new product.

  All major household appliance manufacturers are active 

in the creation of systems to manage the collection and 

disposal of old appliances.
