- Do not dispose of electrical appliances in the household waste.
According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic
equipment and transposition to the national law, worn electrical equipment
must be collected separately and put to recycling.
Recycling alternative to the return requirement:
As an alternative to recycling, the owner of the electrical equipment is
obliged to provide assistance in professional recycling. For this purpose, an
old appliance can be put to a collection centre that will dispose of it in
accordance with the national circulation management and the Waste Act. This

equipment without electrical components.
Transport packaging disposal
The packaging protects the appliance against damage during transport.
Packaging materials are usually chosen according to environmental-friendliness

packaging to material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste. Parts
of packaging (e.g. foils, styrofoam ®) can be dangerous to children. Risk of
suffocation! Keep the packaging out of reach of children and dispose them as
quickly as possible.
