Information And Warnings About Oil - TECO 36 Special Manuel D'utilisation

To this end, manufacturers and dealers of electrical and electronic equipment maintain special
systems for the collection and disposal of such equipment.
At the end of the product life cycle, contact your dealer for information about disposal procedures.
Upon purchase, purchasers are offered the opportunity to return their end-of-life equipment
to dealer free of charge, provided that the equipment is of the same type and served the
same purpose as the newly-purchased product.
Anyone disposing of the product otherwise than as described above will be liable to prosecu-
tion under the laws of the country where the product is disposed of.
We also urge you to adopt other environmental-friendly practices: recycle the internal and
external packing materials which come with the product and dispose of spent batteries (in-
stalled in the product) properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources used to produce electri-
cal and electronic equipment, minimise the use of landfills to dispose of old products, and
improve quality of life by preventing the discharge of potentially hazardous substances into
the environment.
