DISPOSING OF YOUR OLD MACHINE
For environmental and safety reasons ensure the machine is completely drained of any
residual water, chemical residues and cleaning agents. Observe safety regulations and wear
safety goggles and gloves.
Make the door lock inoperable, so that children cannot accidentally shut themselves in. Then
make appropriate arrangements for its safe disposal.
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials. They also contain
specific materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct
function and safety. These could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old appliance with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling center for electrical
and electronic appliances, or contact your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on country) for deleting any personal data that may be stored
on the appliance being disposed of. Please ensure that your old appliance poses no risk to
children while being stored prior to disposal.
