Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmentally
friendly manner
Electrical appliances contain harmful
substances as well as valuable re-
sources.
Every consumer is therefore required
by law to dispose of old electrical applianc-
es at an authorised collection or return point.
They will thus be made available for environ-
mentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
Disposing of activated
charcoal filters
You can dispose of activated charcoal filters
with your household waste.
Our contribution to the
protection of the ozone layer
Our packaging is manufactured us-
ing environmentally friendly, recycla-
ble materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene
(PP).
If you have sufficient space, we recommend
keeping the packaging, at least during the
warranty period. If the appliance has to be
sent in for repair or brought to one of the re-
pair service points, the appliance will only be
adequately protected in the original packag-
ing.
If you would like to dispose of the packaging,
please do so in an environmentally friendly
way.
