16 DISPOSAL
Fireplace inserts contain valuable materials that must be recycled. Observe
the applicable national legal regulations for disposal.
Danger of electrocution
Electrical connections of the fireplace insert are under mains voltage.
This can lead to electric shock
Switch off the power supply
Secure the power supply against being switched on again
• Old metal parts can be disposed of as metal recycling.
• Electrical and electronic components must be disposed of as electronic
waste. Fireclay linings can be disposed of as rubble.
• Fireclay linings can be disposed of as rubble.
• Dispose of insulating and insulating materials of the heating or fireplace
insert in a closed container on a suitable waste disposal site.
• Do not put the glass ceramic discs in the waste glass collection con-
tainer! The glass panes can be disposed of as normal household waste.
Recycling of catalytic converters containing precious metals
Oxidative catalytic converters, as installed in modern wood stoves, are very
effective at reducing emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
This is possible, because precious metals like platinum, palladium and
rhodium are used on the surface of catalytic converters. These precious
metals are distributed very evenly in very small amounts on the surface
of catalytic converters. Over the years, the abrasive effect of particles
streaming through the catalytic converter will cause the partial diminish-
ing of the coating containing precious metals. Continuous overheating of
catalytic converters (T > 700° C) will damage the coating. In certain cases,
the catalytic converter should be replaced and a new converter must be
in-stalled to ensure the catalytic effect.
Used catalytic converters are suitable for re-use. Even if they are broken or
damaged, they are suitable for recycling.
Contained precious metals can be recovered by thermal or chemical
separation techniques to almost 90 %, and then used again in the manu-
facturing process.
Please send the used catalytic converter to a recycling station.
Thank you very much for your efforts in supporting the protection of envi-
ronment and sustainable use of resources.
