Disposal and waste prevention
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 re-
quired by law to dispose of old elec-
trical 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 center.
Contact your dealer directly for more informa-
tion about this topic.
Disposing of the packaging
Our packaging is made of environ-
mentally friendly, recyclable materi-
als:
– 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).
If you would like to dispose of the packaging,
please dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly 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
lifespan of defective devices through repair
and reselling used working appliances instead
of disposing of them.
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”.
