Waste disposal
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol requires
separate disposal for waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE). Such equipment may
contain valuable, but dangerous and hazardous sub-
stances. You are required by law to return these prod-
ucts to a designated collection point for the recycling
of WEEE and must not under any circumstances dis-
pose of them as unsorted municipal waste. In this way,
you can help to conserve resources and protect the
environment.
In Germany, HORNBACH is obliged:
-
to take back old appliances of the same type free of
charge in HORNBACH stores when you purchase a
new electrical or electronic appliance.
-
to take back up to 3 WEEE of the same type (up
to max. 25 cm edge length) free of charge in
HORNBACH stores, even if you do not purchase a
new appliance.
-
when delivering a new electrical or electronic ap-
pliance to a private household, to collect an old ap-
pliance of the same type free of charge or to enable
you to return it in your immediate vicinity.
For further details, please consult www.hornbach.com
or your local authorities.
Make sure that all batteries have been removed from
the appliance before disposing of it (see chapter III).

Used batteries and rechargeable batteries must
be disposed of properly. Battery selling stores and
municipal collection points offer special containers
for battery disposal. Precise data on the type and
chemical system of the batteries can be found in the
technical data, corresponding markings on the batter-
ies themselves.
Children must not play with plastic bags and packag-
ing material, due to the risk of injury and suffocation.
Store such material safely or dispose of it in an envi-
ronmentally friendly way.
