In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC and Polish legislation regarding
used electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the
crossed-out waste container.
This marking means that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other
household waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to a waste
collection centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling
schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps to avoid
environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the
inappropriate storage and processing of such goods.
