Disposal
Packaging from your new machine
All packaging materials used are environ-
mentally friendly and reusable. Return the
packaging to the retailer or supplier.
Dispose of all packaging materials properly.
Disposal of your old machine
Worn-out electrical and electronic equip-
ment are to be collected, valuable materials
recovered and harmful substances disposed
of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
For this, an advance disposal charge is levied
on every household appliance and the end
consumer charged directly. This is mandatory
under Swiss law.
The advance recycling fee (vRG)
The advance recycling fee is already con-
tained within the price of a new machine.
The current disposal of old machines is
being financed with this contribution.
This is why all household machines can be
disposed of without charge even when a
new one is not being purchased.
Your retailer, or one of the 400 official
SENS collection sites, will accept worn-out
machines (
www.sens.ch
or ask your local
authority).
An additional fee can be charged for collec-
tion from the home according to cost.
