Protecting the environment

For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been

chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling.
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of.
Do not just dispose these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that

they are fed to a recovery. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging.

Batteries must not be disposed of as domestic waste or thrown into fire. Dispose of the bat‐

teries according to national or local regulations regarding hazardous waste. To protect the

environment, dispose of empty batteries at your retail store or at appropriate collection sites.
