10.0 USER INFORMATION
pursuant to art. 13 of legislative decree 25 July 2005, n. 15 "Implementation of Directives 2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE and 2003/108/CE, relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as waste disposal"
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol shown on the equipment indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other waste. The user must therefore deliver the equipment at the end of its useful life to the appropriate collection centers for differentiated collection of electronic and electrotechnical waste, or return it to the retailer when purchasing a new equipment of equivalent type, on a one-for-one basis. Proper differentiated collection for the subsequent disposal of the discarded equipment for recycling, treatment, and environmentally compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the equipment is composed. Abusive disposal of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions referred to in legislative decree no. 22/1997" (Article 50 and following of legislative decree no. 22/1997).
End-of-life treatment of electrical or electronic equipment (Applicable in all European Union countries and in those with separate collection systems)
This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product must not be considered as normal household waste, but must instead be handed over to an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring that this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and health that could otherwise be caused by its inadequate disposal. Recycling of materials helps conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about recycling this product, you can contact your municipal office, the local waste disposal service, or the store where you purchased it.
