Gamko BV is attentive of the care of the environment and meets all requirements
contained in the Directive 2002/96/EC, known as WEEE, or the Directive referring to
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This product conforms to the directive
2002/96/EC. At the end of its useful life the product, 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/EC 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 product is subject to the application of this Directive. It is
the responsibility of the user to transfer the product to specialized collection points, as
indicated by local legislation or the distributor. In case of installation of a new product the
old WEEE product 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, fridge's and plug in
freezer compartments. Nevertheless it is possible that in the various member countries
differences in legislation are detected. In case some products are not included on the list
of WEEE products following national legislation, the national legislation should be adhered
to, the WEEE directives applicable to products that are not included in the scope of these
national legislations should be omitted. The directive does not apply to products sold
outside the European Union. In case the product 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
product or directly to Gamko.
