Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Our environmental responsibility

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's
working life, the user must deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection
centres for electrical and electronic waste, or deliver it back to the retailer when
purchasing an equivalent product, on a one-for-one basis. Adequate
differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned
product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal
contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on
health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. Illicit
disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative
sanctions.

The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with
current European directives.

3.2 Your environmental responsibility

Our products packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot

accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.
