DISPOSAL
The packaging of the appliance is made of recyclable materials. Dispose of it
in accordance with the environmental protection regulations.
Pursuant to Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), the crossed bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates
that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end
of its useful life.
The user must therefore take the appliance to an appropriate recycling centre
for electrical and electronic equipment. Alternatively, instead of handling
the disposal, the user can hand over the appliance to the retailer when a
new, equivalent one is purchased. The user can hand over electronic products
measuring less than 25 cm to retailers of electronic products having a sales
area of at least 400 m2 free of charge and with no obligation to buy.
Appropriate separate collection for the subsequent procedure for the
decommissioned appliance for recycling, which includes treatment and
environmentally friendly disposal helps prevent adverse effects on the
environment and health and promotes reusing and/or recycling materials that
the appliance consists of.

one of the two solutions is disproportionate to the other. The buyer has the

h. Accidental falling during use,

warranty shall not cover all circumstances that cannot be attributed to
manufacturing defects of the appliance.

appliance and professional use.
All liability is disclaimed for any damage that may directly or indirectly be
caused to persons, property and pets as a result of failure to comply with all
the instructions provided in the “Instructions and Warnings Booklet” regarding
appliance installation, use and maintenance.
This is without prejudice to any contractual warranty claims against the
seller.
