User manual WHIRLPOOL AWZ 7141 INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] This directive contains the regulations governing the collection and recycling of decommissioned appliances throughout the European Union. The symbol of the rubbish bin with a line through it on the appliance or its packaging indicates that the product must be disposed of separately from other waste at the end of its life cycle. The user is thus obliged to consign scrapped appliances to the special electronic and electrotechnical waste disposal centres, or return them to the dealer on purchase of a similar new appliance, on a one-to-one basis. Consignment to the appropriate facility for environmentally responsible recycling, treatment and disposal helps to prevent any negative effects on the environment and health, and encourages the reuse and/or recycling of the appliance’s component materials.
