ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The following disposal procedure shall be exclusively applied to the machines having
the crossed-out bin symbol on their data plate
.
This product may contain substances that can be hazardous to the environment and to
human health if it is not disposed of properly.
The following information is therefore provided to prevent the release of these substances
and to improve the use of natural resources.
Electrical and electronic equipment must never be disposed of in the usual municipal
waste but must be separately collected for their proper treatment.
The crossed-out bin symbol, placed on the product and on this page, reminds the user
that the product must be disposed of properly at the end of its life.
In this way it is possible to prevent that a not specific treatment of the substances con-
tained in these products, or their improper use, or improper use of their parts may be
hazardous to the environment or to human health. Furthermore, this helps to recover,
recycle and reuse many of the materials contained in these products.
Electrical and electronic manufacturers and distributors set up proper collection and
treatment systems for these products for this purpose.
Contact your local distributor to obtain information on the collection procedures at the
end of the life of your product.
When purchasing this product, your distributor will also inform you of the possibility to
return another end-of-life piece of equipment free of charge as long as it is of equivalent
type and had the same functions as the purchased product.
Any disposal of the product performed in a different way from that described above will
be liable to the penalties provided for by the national regulations in force in the country
where the product is disposed of.
Further measures for environmental protection are recommended: recycling of the inter-
nal and external packaging of the product and proper disposal of used batteries (only if
contained in the product).
Your help is crucial to reduce the amount of natural resources used for manufacturing
electrical and electronic equipment, minimise the use of landfills for product disposal
and improve the quality of life, preventing potentially hazardous substances from being
released in the environment.
