WEEE-regulations
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE
INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS BROCHURE IS IMPORTANT FOR THE
DISPOSAL OR RE-USE OF THIS APPLIANCE AT THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE.
Gamko BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all requirements contained in the Directive
2002/96/CE, known as WEEE, or the Directive referring to Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
This appliance conforms to the directive 2002/96/CE. At the end of its useful life the appliance, which is to be
processed separate from household waste, should be transferred to a collection point of separate waste from
electrical and electronic equipment. The objective of the Directive 2002/96/CE is to combat the increasing
volumes of waste from electrical and electronic equipment, to increase the re-use of electrical and electronic
equipment ("EEE") and finally to limit the total volume of waste EEE ("WEEE") destined to be disposed of. The
symbol of the crossed-out waste bin indicates that this appliance is subject to the application of this Directive.
It is the responsibility of the user to transfer the appliance to specialized collection points, as indicated by local
legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of a new appliance the old WEEE appliance can be collected
by the distributor at the same time. The manufacturer, importer and distributor are responsible for the
collection and processing of the waste which is collected directly or through a collection point. The enclosed
list contains Gamko BV distributors per country. Any violation of the above-mentioned Directive will result in
sanction measures in all of these countries. In general, Gamko BV applies the "CECED interpretation" (European
Committee of Manufacturers of Electrical household appliances) according to which the WEEE legislation is
applicable to portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers, window- air conditioning, split systems up to 12 kW,
fridges and plug in freezer compartments. Nevertheless, it is possible that in the various member countries
differences in legislation are detected. In case some appliances are not included on the list of WEEE appliances
following national legislation, the national legislation should be adhered to, the WEEE directives applicable to
appliances that are not included in the scope of these national legislations should be omitted. The directive
does not apply to appliances sold outside the European Union. In case the appliance is to be sold outside the
European Union, it is not necessary to adhere to the WEEE directive however; the vendor/distributor has to
guarantee that local legislation is being observed. For further information please refer to the local authority for
waste collection, the vendor/ distributor/ installer who supplied the appliance or directly to Gamko
