Recycling & Environment
Disposal of electrical and electronic products (waste equipment)
This crossed-out dustbin on the product, the accompanying materials and/or on the
packaging means that electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of in
general household waste. Consumers are required by law to dispose of such equip-
ment separately from general household waste. Old appliances must be taken to the
relevant collection points for treatment, refurbishment or recycling in accordance with
the statutory provisions. Furthermore, there is an obligation to remove batteries that
are not enclosed in the appliance before disposing of the old appliance and to dispose of them sepa-
rately. The same applies to lamps that can be removed from the old appliance without destroying it.
By properly disposing of old products, you contribute to environmental protection and human health.
Consumers must take responsibility for deleting any personal data that may be stored on the old
appliance before disposing of it.
Recycling of paper and cardboard
The material recycling symbol on the packaging board and on the user manual
indicates that they are recyclable. Do not dispose of the packaging with normal
household waste.
Disposal of batteries
Every consumer is legally obliged to hand in batteries at a collection
point of his community or the retailers so that they can be disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way.
The disposal of batteries in household waste is prohibited!
A chemical symbol (Pb for lead, Hg for mercury, Cd for cadmium) under the crossed-out wheelie bin
indicates that the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury, more than 0.004% lead or more
than 0.002% cadmium.
