Waste prevention, free return and disposalPage EN-32
Some of the possible contents
(e.g. mercury, cadmium and
lead) are toxic and, if improperly
disposed of, can have adverse
effects on the environment.
Heavy metals, for instance, can
have detrimental health effects
on humans, animals and plants
and accumulate in the environ-
ment and food chain, and then
enter the body indirectly through
the consumption of food.
There is a high risk of fire with
old lithium batteries. Special care
must therefore be taken to prop-
erly dispose of old lithium batter-
ies and rechargeable batteries.
Improper disposal can also lead
to internal and external short
circuits due to thermal effects
(heat) or mechanical damage.
A short circuit can lead to a fire
or an explosion and have serious
consequences for people and the
environment. It is therefore im-
portant to tape off the terminals
of lithium batteries and recharge-
able batteries before disposing
of them to prevent an external
short circuit.
Single-use and rechargeable
batteries that are not built into the
device should be removed before
disposal and then disposed of
separately.
Please only dispose of single-use
and rechargeable batteries in a
discharged state!
If possible, use rechargeable
batteries in place of disposable
batteries.
