Disposal of appliances and batteries
After the implementation of the European
Directive 2002/96/EU in the national legal system,
the following applies:
Electrical and electronic devices may not be
disposed of with domestic waste. Consumers are
obliged by law to return electrical and electronic
devices at the end of their service lives to the
public collecting points set up for this purpose or
point of sale. Details to this are defined by the
national law of the respective country. This
symbol on the product, the instruction manual or
the package indicates that a product is subject to
these regulations. By recycling, reusing the
materials or other forms of utilising old devices,
you are making an important contribution to
protecting our environment.
