Deactivation and scrapping of appliance

OBLIGATION OF DISPOSING OF SPECIAL MATERIALS USING THE LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE IN
FORCE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE APPLIANCE IS SCRAPPED.
PURSUANT TO the directives (see Sect. 0.1) relating to the reduction of use of the hazardous substances in
the electrical and electronic appliance and to the waste disposal. The symbol of the barred waste bin carried
on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product at the end of its useful life it must be disposed of
separately from other waste.
Differentiated waste collection of this appliance at the end of its life is organised and implemented by the
manufacturer. The user that will dispose of this equipment should then contact the manufacturer and follow the
system that the latter has adopted to enable the separate collection of equipment once it has reached the end
of its life.
Appropriate separate collection for subsequent start-up of equipment assigned to recycling, treatment and
disposal that is environmentally compatible contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the envi-
ronment and on health and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of the materials of which the equipment is
composed. Improper disposal of the product by the owner involves the application of administrative penalties
under current legislation.
The decommissioning and dismantling of the appliance must be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel, either mechanical or electrical, that must wear appropriate personal protective equip-
ment such as protective clothing appropriate to the operations to be performed, protective
gloves, safety shoes, head gear and goggles.
Before commencing dismantling of the appliance, ensure around the appliance a space that is
large enough and arranged in such a way as to allow all movements without risk.
The following are necessary:
• Disconnect the power supply.
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• Remove the electrical cables exiting the appliance.
• Close the water inlet tap (mains valve) from the mains supply.
• Disconnect and remove the pipes from the appliance water system .
• Disconnect and remove the grey water discharge pipe.
After this operation, a wet area around the appliance may form and therefore, before continuing
with operations, dry these wet areas.
After restoring the operational area as described:
• Remove the protective panels.
• Disassemble the appliance in its main parts.
• Separate the parts of the appliance according to their nature (e.g. metals, electrical parts etc.) and deliver
them to recycling centres.
