WASTE MATERIALS AND THEIR DISPOSAL
Spare parts replaced during the machine’s product life are to be considered waste and must be taken to special collection centres or
entrusted to authorised disposal centres.
Ashes must be placed in a metal container with a sealed lid. The closed container must be placed on a non-combustible base and kept
away from combustible materials until all the embers have been extinguished.
Only when extinguished can ashes be thrown into the organic waste collection, naturally without nails or other non-organic materials.
Only when extinguished can ashes be disposed of according to the recycling regulations in your town.
