IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WARNING
READ BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT. KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE. THE INFORMATION IN THE
FOLLOWING NOTES IS NEEDED FOR THE END OF LIFE DISPOSAL OR REUSE OF THE UNIT.
• We are very sensitive to the environment and welcome the 2002/96/EC WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive.
• This product is compliant with EU Directive 2002/96/EC. It must be collected
separately after its use is completed and must not be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste.
• The objectives of the EU Directive 2002/96/EC are to tackle the fast increasing
waste stream of electrical and electronic equipment, increase the recycling of
electric and electronic equipment ("EEE"), and to limit the total quantity of waste
EEE ("WEEE") going to disposal.
• The crossed out wheeled bin symbol that is affixed to the product indicates that
this product may fall under the Directive.
• The user is responsible for returning the product to the appropriate collection
facility as specified by your municipality or the distributor. In case of installation of
a new product, it may be possible to have the distributor pick up old WEEE
directly.
• The producer, importer and distributor are responsible for collection and
treatment of WEEE, either directly or through a collective system. The distributor
for your country is shown below.
• In case of violation of the Directive, sanctions are set in each country.
• We are in general following the CECED interpretation which considers the
WEEE Directive applicable to Portable units, De-humidifiers, WRACs (Window
Room Air to Water Heat Pumps), Split systems up to 12kW, plug in refrigerators
and freezers.
• Nevertheless, there may be differences among various member state laws.
In cases where national laws exclude some products from the WEEE scope,
those laws must be followed. In countries where these products are not covered
by the WEEE scope the WEEE obligations do not have to be followed.
• The WEEE Directive does not apply to products sold outside the European
Community. In these cases the WEEE obligations do not have to be followed,
however compliance with any local regulations must be ensured.
• For additional information please contact the municipal facility, the
shop/dealer/distributor/installer that has sold the product, or the producer.
