Caring for the environment
14
Disposing of the packaging
material
The packaging material is used for
handling and protects the appliance
from transport damage. The packaging
material used is selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can generally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials. Use
material-specific collection points for
valuable materials and take advantage
of return options.
We recommend you keep the
packaging material for transport
purposes.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the fine dust filter and dispose
of it with your household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials,
compounds and components which
were essential for their correct
functioning and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the
environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled
incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with
household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances in
your local community, with your dealer
or with Miele, free of charge. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the old
appliance prior to disposal. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and to
remove any lamps without destroying
them, where this is possible. These
must be taken to a suitable collection
point where they can be handed in free
of charge. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.
