10. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The following disposal procedure must be applied to the machines having the crossed-
out bin symbol on their data plate
.
This product may contain substances that can be hazardous to the environment and to
human health if it is not disposed of properly.
We therefore provide you with the following information to prevent releases of these
substances and to improve the use of natural resources.
Electrical and electronic equipment should never be disposed of in the usual municipal
waste but must be separately collected for their proper treatment.
The crossed-out bin symbol, placed on the product and on this page, reminds the user
that the product must be disposed of properly at the end of its life.
This prevents the inappropriate disposal of the substances which this product contains,
or the improper use of some of them, from having hazardous consequences for the envi-
ronment and human health. Furthermore, this helps to recover, recycle and reuse many
of the materials contained in these products.
To this end, electrical and electronic manufacturers and distributors have set up proper
collection and treatment systems for these products.
At the end of life your product contact your distributor to have information on the col-
lection arrangements.
When buying this new product your distributor will also inform you of the possibility to
return free of charge another end of life equipment as long as it is of equivalent type and
has fulfilled the same functions as the supplied equipment.
Anyone disposing of the product otherwise than as described above will be liable to
prosecution under the legislation of the country where the product is scrapped.
We also recommend you to adopt more measures for environment protection: recycling
of the internal and external packaging of the product and proper disposal of used bat-
teries (only if contained in the product).
With your help it is possible to reduce the amount of natural resources used to produce
electrical and electronic equipment, to minimise the use of landfills for the disposal of
the products and to improve the quality of life by preventing that potentially hazardous
substances are released in the environment.
