Disposal

The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the appliance or its package. The description of the meanings can be found in the “Marking“ section.

Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against damage during transport. Packing materials are usually chosen depending on their environmental friendliness and disposal method and can therefore be recycled. Returning the package to material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste disposal costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation! Keep parts of packages away from children and dispose them as soon as possible.

Do not put electrical appliances to household waste – use collection centres in your town. Ask the municipality authorities where such collection centres can be found. If electrical appliances are disposed in an uncontrolled manner, hazardous substances can get into ground water through the weather and – as a result – penetrate the food chain or poison the flora and fauna for a number of years. When the appliance is to be changed for a new one, the seller is legally obliged to accept the old appliance, at least for free disposal.
