7 Disposal of the Old Device
Old electric and electronic devices frequently still contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain damaging substances, which were necessary for
their functionality and safety. If these were put in the non-recyclable waste or
were handled incorrectly, they could be detrimental to human health and the environment.
Therefore, do not put your old device into the non-recyclable waste under any
circumstances.
Please note
► Utilise the collection point, established in your town, to return and recycle old electric and
electronic devices. If necessary, contact your town hall, local refuse collection service or
your dealer for information.
► Ensure that your old device is stored safely away from children until it is taken away:
Before you throw away your old refrigerator take off the doors and leave the shelves in
place, so that children may not easily climb inside.
► Blowing gas inside the unit is flammable. The disposal of this flammable material should
be in accordance
