Environmental protection
The packing materials can be recy-

Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable, recyclable materials
and often components such as batter-
ies, rechargeable batteries or oil, which - if
handled or disposed of incorrectly - can
pose a potential threat to human health and
the environment. However, these compo-
nents are required for the correct operation
of the appliance. Appliances marked by this
symbol are not allowed to be disposed of
together with the household rubbish.
Cleaning operations which produce oily
waste water, e.g. engine washes, un-
derbody washes, may only be carried out
using washing stations equipped with an oil
separator.
Work with detergents must only be per-
formed on liquid-tight work surfaces
with a connection to the sewer system. Do
not let release detergent into waters or
earth.
