Information on recycling and disposal

As part of our continual commitment towards environmental protection, we reserve the right to use recycled quality components to reduce costs for our customers and to minimise materials wastage.

•Disposing of the packaging materials: follow local regulations to allow for recycling of packaging materials.

•In order to minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug, then cut the power supply cord flush with the applian- ce. Dispose of these parts separately to prevent the appliance from being connected to a power supply socket.

Disposal of old household appliances

European Directive 2012/19/EC concerning Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household applian- ces should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separa- tely in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling materials comprising the machine, while preventing potential

damage to public health and the environment. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol appears on all products to remind owners of the obligations regarding separate waste collection.

Owners should contact their local authorities or appliance dealers for further information concerning the correct disposal of household appliances.

This appliance conforms to the following EC directives:

-2006/95/EC (Low Voltage Directive)
