In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/UE 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
