Waste prevention, free return and disposal
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of
Directive 2008/98/EC, waste pre-
vention measures always take
priority over waste management.
For electrical and electron-
ic devices, waste prevention
measures include extending the
lifespan of defective devices
through repair and reselling
used working appliances
instead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and
contact our customer service if
your product is faulty.
More information can be found in
the brochure ‘Waste Prevention
Programme of the German Gov-
ernment with the Involvement of
the Federal States’.
Free return of old
electrical appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical
appliance of the same type with
essentially the same function,
consumers may return an old
electrical appliance to a distrib-
utor obliged to take back old
appliances, at no extra cost for
the consumers. This option also
exists for deliveries made to a
private household. For distance
selling, the option of having old
electrical equipment collected
for free applies only in the case
of purchase of new electrical
equipment with heat exchangers
(e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers),
screens and display devices with
a screen surface > 100 cm², and
large devices with at least one of
its external dimensions measur-
ing more than 50 cm.
In addition, consumers may
return up to three old electrical
appliances of the same type to
a distributor’s collection point for
free, without having to purchase
a new electrical appliance. In this
case, however, the old applianc-
es’ external dimensions may not
exceed 25 cm.
