Disposal and waste prevention
Our contribution to protecting
the ozone layer
100% CFC and HFC-free refrige-
rants and foaming agents were used
in this appliance. This protects the
ozone layer and reduces the greenhouse ef-
fect.
Our packaging is made of environmentally-fri-
endly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
– Saving energy also protects against exces-
sive global warming. Your new appliance
uses little energy due to its environmentally
friendly insulation and technology.
If you would like to dispose of the packaging,
please dispose of it in an environmentally fri-
endly way.
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of Directive
2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures al-
ways take priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devices, waste
prevention measures include extending the li-
fespan of defective devices through repair and
reselling used working appliances instead of
disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our
Service department if your product is faulty.
More information can be found in the brochure
“Waste Prevention Programme - of the Ger-
man Government with the Involvement of the
Federal States”.
Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmentally-
friendly manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore requi-
red by law to dispose of old electri-
cal appliances at an authorised collection or
return point. They will thus be made available
for environmentally-sound, resource-saving
recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
