Maintenance of double-insulated products
In a double-insulated product two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.

Improper disposal can result in dangerous substances getting into the groundwater and thus into our food chain, damaging our health.

Information on the collection points can be obtained from your local administration. When purchasing a new machine, the dealer is obliged to take back the old machine free of charge and dispose of it properly.
