The manufacturer is registered on the National EEE Register,
in compliance with implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU
and pertinent national regulations on electrical and electronic
equipment waste.
This Directive requires electrical and electronic equipment
to be disposed of properly.
Equipment bearing the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol
must be disposed of separately at the end of its lifecycle to
prevent damage to human health and to the environment.
Electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of
together with all of its parts.
To dispose of “household” electrical and electronic
equipment, the manufacturer recommends contacting an
authorised dealer or an authorised ecological site.
“Professional” electrical and electronic equipment must be
disposed of by authorised personnel through established
waste disposal authorities around the country.
In this regard, here is the definition of household WEEE
and professional WEEE.
WEEE from private households: WEEE originating
from private households and WEEE which comes from
commercial, industrial, institutional and other sources
which, because of its nature and quantity, is similar to that
from private households. Subject to the nature and quantity,
where the waste from EEE was likely to have been used by
both a private household and users of other than private
households, it will be classed as private household WEEE;
Professional WEEE: all WEEE which comes from something
other than private households.
This equipment may contain:
– refrigerant gas, the entire contents of which must
be recovered in suitable containers by specialised
personnel with the necessary qualifications;
– lubrication oil contained in compressors and in the
refrigeration circuit to be collected;
– mixtures with antifreeze in the water circuit, the
contents of which are to be collected;
– mechanical and electrical parts to be separated and
disposed of as authorised.
When the components to be replaced for maintenance
purposes are removed or when the entire unit reaches the
end of its life and needs to be removed from the installation,
waste should be separated by its nature and disposed of
by authorised personnel at existing collection centres.
