10. Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European directive 2012/19/EU 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 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.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
