Disposing of equipment 

 

 

 

NOTE 

 

 

 

Proper disposal! 
The machine contains valuable raw materials, which should be recycled, and 
electronic components, which must be disposed of. 
•  Do not dispose of in household waste! 
•  Observe the local regulations regarding disposal! 

 

 

 

6.4.1

 

Manufacturer's declaration to the end user 

•  According to European provisions (guideline 2002/96/EG of the European Parliament and the Council 

of January, 27th 2003), used electric and electronic equipment may no longer be placed in unsorted 
municipal waste. It must be collected separately. The symbol depicting a waste container on wheels 
indicates that the equipment must be collected separately. 
This machine is to be placed for disposal or recycling in the waste separation systems provided for this 
purpose. 

•  According to German law (law governing the distribution, taking back and environmentally correct 

disposal of electric and electronic equipment (ElektroG) from 16.03.2005), used machines are to be 
placed in a collection system separate from unsorted municipal waste. The public waste management 
utilities (communities) have created collection points at which used equipment from private households 
can be disposed of free of charge. 

•  Information about giving back used equipment or about collections can be obtained from the 

respective municipal administration office. 

•  EWM participates in an approved waste disposal and recycling system and is registered in the Used 

Electrical Equipment Register (EAR) under number WEEE DE 57686922. 

•  In addition to this, returns are also possible throughout Europe via EWM sales partners.
