PACKAGING
Disposal of appliance and
packaging
The packaging of this appliance is recyclable
and could be made of:
■ cardboard;
■ polythene (PE) film;
■ CFC-free polystyrene (PS – hard foam).
These materials are to be disposed of
responsibly and in accordance with
government regulations.
To draw attention to the obligation to process
electrical household appliances separately,
the product carries the symbol of a dustbin
with a cross through it:
This means that at the end of its working life
the product may not be disposed of as
household waste, but must be taken to a
segregated waste collection centre run by the
local authorities or to a dealer providing this
service.
Processing household appliances such as this
hob separately prevents negative impacts on
the environment and public health, which
might otherwise result from inappropriate
processing.
It also enables the recovery of materials used
in the production of the appliance, thus
realising considerable savings in terms of
both raw materials and energy.
