Disposing of old batteries
In many cases, electrical and electronic appliances contain batteries
which must not be disposed of with household waste after use. You
are legally obliged to remove any old batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the transfer trolley and take them to a suitable collection
point (e.g. retailer) where they can be handed in free of charge. Insu-
late the metal contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits.
Batteries may contain substances which can be hazardous to human
health and the environment.
The labelling on the battery will provide further information. The bin
symbol with a cross through it means that the batteries must not be
disposed of in household waste. A bin with a cross through it which
also has one or more chemical symbols on it indicates that the bat-
tery contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

Old batteries contain valuable raw materials which can be recycled.
Disposing of batteries separately makes them easier to handle and
recycle.
Disposal of your old machine
Please contact Miele to arrange for the technical decommissioning of
the conveyor system before disposing of it in accordance with regula-
tions.
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials.
They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incor-
rectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the en-
vironment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your house-
hold waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recyc-
ling centre or contact your Dealer for advice.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to children while
being stored prior to disposal.
