Directive 2012/19/UE regarding electric and electronic equipment waste (WEEE).

The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin indicates that the product at the end of its life must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, confer the fixture complete with all the essential components to an authorized disposal center for collection of electronic and electrical waste, or return it the dealer when buying new equipment of equivalent type, at a rate of one to one, or one to zero if dimension is less than 25cm. Appropriate separate collection to send the decommissioned equipment to recycling, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal helps to prevent negative impact on the environment and human health and promotes recycling of the materials making up the product. In Italy illegal dumping of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 49 (14/03/2014).

The product's remote control contains a battery, which according to the European Directive 2013/56/EU, cannot be disposed of with normal household waste. Please inquire about the local regulations regarding the separate collection of batteries: a correct disposal allows to avoid negative consequences for the environment and health.
