In accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC 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 waste

collection centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods. The collectors, inclu-

ding local collection points, shops and local authority departments provide recycling

schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps avoid environ-

mental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous components and the inappropria-

te storage and processing of such goods.
