Disposal and waste prevention
Disposing of old
electrical devices in
an environmentally-
friendly manner
Electrical appliances
contain harmful sub-
stances as well as val-
uable resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old
electrical appliances at an au-
thorised collection or return point.
They will thus be made available
for environmentally-sound, re-
source-saving recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical
appliances free of charge at your
local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer direct-
ly for more information about this
topic.
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of
Directive 2008/98/EC, waste pre-
vention measures always take
priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devic-
es, waste prevention measures in-
clude extending the lifespan of de-
fective devices through repair and
reselling used working appliances
instead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and
contact our Service department if
your product is faulty.

the brochure “Waste Prevention
Programme - of the German Gov-
ernment with the Involvement of
the Federal States”.
