The European directive 2012/19/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires
that old household electrical appliances must not
be disposed in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimize 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.
Contact your local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of old
appliance.
