12 Environment / disposal
Environmental protection is a fundamental corporate strategy of the
Bosch Group.
The quality of our products, their efficiency and environmental safety
are all of equal importance to us and all environmental protection
legislation and regulations are strictly observed.
We use the best possible technology and materials for protecting the
environment taking into account of economic considerations.
Packaging
We participate in the recycling programmes of the countries in which our
products are sold to ensure optimum recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be
recycled.
Used appliances
Used appliances contain valuable materials that should be recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled and synthetic materials
are marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be sorted by
composition and passed on for recycling or disposal.
13 Inspection/Maintenance
To ensure that gas consumption and environmental impact remain as
low as possible over an extended period of time, we recommend that you
take out an inspection/maintenance contract with an authorised
contractor covering an annual inspection, and maintenance at other
times as required.
Important notes
• The following test equipment is required:
– Electronic flue gas emission meter for CO
2
, CO and exhaust
temperature
– Pressure gauge for 0 - 30 mbar (resolution at least 0.1 mbar)
• Special tools are not required
• Permissible lucricants:
