Disposal
Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmen-
tally-friendly manner
Electrical appliances
contain harmful sub-
stances as well as
valuable resources.
Every consumer is
therefore required by law to dis-
pose of old electrical appliances
at an authorised collection or
return point. They will thus be
made available for environmen-
tally-sound, resource-saving
recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical
appliances free of charge at your
local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer
directly for more information
about this topic.
Don't forget to erase data!
If necessary, each consumer is
responsible for erasing personal
data from electrical and electron-
ic equipment.
Batteries and rechargeable
batteries, lamps and bulbs
If necessary, old single-use and
rechargeable batteries that are
not encased by an old electrical
appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs
that can be removed from an old
electrical appliance without being
destroyed, must be removed and
disposed of separately before you
return the appliance.
This symbol means
that single-use and
rechargeable batteries
must not be disposed
of with other house-
hold waste.
Consumers are required by law
to bring all single-use and re-
chargeable batteries, regardless
of whether they contain harmful
substances*) or not, to a collec-
tion point operated by their com-
munal authority or borough or
to a retailer, so that they can be
disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner and so that valu-
able resources (e.g. cobalt, nick-
el or copper) can be recovered.
Single-use and rechargeable
batteries can be returned free
of charge.
