Disposing of packaging
materials
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transport. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. You can return the packaging to
your Miele dealer.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Old electrical and electronic equipment
often still contain valuable materials.
However, they may also include harmful
substances that were essential for
proper functioning and safe use.
Improperly disposing of these items in
your household waste can be harmful
to your health and the environment.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance in your regular
household waste.
Instead, please dispose of your old
appliance at your local community
waste collection / recycling centre.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of the appliance before or
during transport to an authorized
collection depot.
By doing so, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained and will not leak into the
environment.
Please ensure that your old appliance
does not pose a danger to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
See "Warning and safety instructions"
for more information.
