Disposal
Disposing of old
electrical devices in an
environmentally friendly
manner
Electrical appliances
contain harmful sub-
stances as well as valu-
able resources.
Every consumer is
therefore required by law to dis-
pose of old electrical applianc-
es at an authorised collection or
return point. They will thus be
made available for environmen-
tally-sound, resource-saving re-
cycling.
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.
Don’t forget to erase
data!
If necessary, each consumer is
responsible for erasing personal
data from electrical and electronic
equipment.
Single-use and
rechargeable batteries,
lamps and bulbs
If necessary, old single-use and
rechargeable batteries that are
not encased by an old electrical
appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs
that can be removed from an old
electrical appliance without being
destroyed, must be removed and
disposed of separately before you
return the appliance.
This symbol means
that single-use and re-
chargeable batteries
must not be disposed
of with other household waste.
Consumers are required by law to
bring all batteries and rechargea-
ble batteries, regardless of wheth-
er they contain harmful substanc-
es*) or not, to a collection point
operated by their communal au-
thority or borough or to a retailer,
so that they can be disposed of in
an environmentally friendly man-
ner and so that valuable resourc-
es (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper)
can be recovered.
Batteries and rechargeable batter-
ies can be returned free of charge.
