Waste disposal

In implementing the Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EC on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of waste.

The crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that at the end of the product’s life, it must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, take the remote control to an authorized disposal center for collection of electronic and electrical waste, or return it to the dealer when purchasing a new similar appliance, on a one-to-one basis. Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent forwarding of the product sent for recycling, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal helps to prevent negative environmental and health effects and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of materials making up the equipment. Illegal dumping of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions in the current provisions of law.
For more information about the collection systems, contact your local authorities.

In implementing Directive 2006/66/EC on the reduced use of hazardous substances in batteries and the disposal of the same.

The crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the batteries must not be disposed of with the rest of the household waste, as they may contain substances that are potentially harmful to the environment and health. Remove the old battery from the device and turn it in at the appropriate collection points.
