Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packaging
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces
the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags
etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of babies and young
children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposing of your old
appliance
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
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances. You are also responsible for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance prior to
disposal. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored prior to disposal.
Caring for the environment
Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries and
rechargeable batteries which, when
depleted, must not be thrown away with
your household waste. You should
remove any removable batteries or
rechargeable batteries and dispose of
them immediately in a suitable recycling
box for batteries.
Batteries and rechargeable
batteries contain substances which
can be harmful to human health and
the environment and should be kept
out of the reach of children. Even flat
batteries can still be dangerous. If
you suspect a child has swallowed a
battery, seek medical advice
immediately.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A crossed out bin means that
the battery or rechargeable battery
must on no account be disposed of
with your household waste. A crossed
out bin, which also has one or several
chemical symbols below it, indicates
that the battery or rechargeable battery
contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/
or mercury (Hg).
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and
recycle.
