Oracle - How do you dispose of the appliance?

  • This appliance is marked in accordance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU on electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE). WEEE contain both pollutants (which can cause negative consequences on the environment) and basic components (which can be reused). 
  • It is important that WEEE are subjected to specific treatments to remove and properly dispose of all pollutants and to recover all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE do not become an environmental problem; it is essential to follow a number of basic rules:
  • WEEE must not be treated as household waste;
  • WEEE must be taken to the appropriate collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies.
  • In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection may be present. When purchasing a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the dealer who must accept it free of charge on a one-for-one basis, provided that the appliance is of the equivalent type and has the same functions as the one purchased.
