environmental aspects
disposal of packaging and appliance
GB 38
The appliance's packaging is recyclable. The following may be
used:
• cardboard;
• polyethylene film (PE);
• CFC-free polystyrene (PS rigid foam).
Dispose of these materials responsibly and in accordance
with government regulations.
The government can also provide information about the
responsible disposal of discarded domestic appliances.
On the data plate is put the symbol of a crossed-out wheeled
dustbin:
This means that at the end of its working life, the product
must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to
a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre
or to a dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the environment and
health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant
savings in energy and resources.
As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-
out wheeled dustbin.
