USER GUIDE

THE PRODUCT

The crossed-out waste bin stuck on the product means that the product belongs to the
family of electrical and electronic equipment.

In this respect, the European regulations ask you to dispose of it selectively:

z At sales points in the event of the purchase of similar equipment.

z At the collection points made available to you locally (drop-off center, selective

collection, etc.).

In this way you can participate in the re-use and upgrading of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Waste,
which can have an effect on the environment and human health.
