SPECIAL DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CONSUMERS IN GERMANY
Dispose of your old appliances properly. This ensures that WEEE is recycled
in an environmentally sound manner and that negative impacts on the
environment and human health are avoided. The following rules must be
observed during disposal:
• Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of electrical
and electronic equipment (waste equipment) as well as bat-
teries and accumulators separately from household waste.
You can recognise the corresponding waste equipment by
the following symbol of the crossed-out waste bin (WEEE
symbol).
• You must separate used batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed
in the old appliance, as well as lamps that can be removed from the old
appliance without destroying it, from the old appliance without destroying
it before handing it in at a disposal point.
• Certain lamps and bulbs also fall under the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act and must therefore be treated as old equipment.
Incandescent bulbs and halogen lamps are excluded. Please dispose of
light bulbs and halogen lamps with your household waste unless they bear
the WEEE symbol.
• Each consumer is responsible for deleting personal data from the
electrical or electronic equipment.
The distributors' obligation regarding return of goods
Distributors with a sales area for electrical and electronic equipment of at
least 400 square metres and distributors of foodstuffs with a total sales area

market are obliged,
1 when supplying new electrical and electronic equipment to an end-user, to
take back free of charge at the place of supply or in the immediate vicinity
thereof the old electrical and electronic equipment of the end-user of the same
type which fulfils substantially the same functions as the new electrical and
electronic equipment; and
2 to take back, free of charge, at the request of the end-user, WEEE that
does not exceed 25 centimetres in any external dimension in the retail
outlet or in the immediate vicinity thereof; the take-back may not be
linked to the purchase of an EEE and is limited to three WEEEs per type of
equipment.
