Environmental protection
The packaging material can be recycled. Please
arrange for the environmentally appropriate dis-
posal of the packaging.
Old appliances contain valuable recyclable mate-

ter, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may
only be carried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
Work with detergents must only be performed on
liquid-tight work surfaces with a connection to the
sewer system. Do not let release detergent into
waters or earth.
