Important information for correct disposal of the product
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be
taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dea-
ler providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain significant savings in energy and resources.As a reminder of the need to
dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a cros-
sed-out wheeled dustbin.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
