Disposal
10.4 Disposing of the Device
The equipment, including consumables and empty non-rechargeable and
rechargeable batteries, does not belong in your regular household waste; this
equipment is manufactured from high-grade materials which can be recycled and
reused. European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) requires that electrical and electronic equipment be collected and disposed
of separately from other unsorted municipal waste, with the aim of recycling it.
The crossed-out waste bin symbol indicates that separate collection is required.
In Germany and several other countries, Sartorius itself assumes responsibility for the
return and legally compliant disposal of its electronic and electrical products. These
products may not be placed with household waste or brought to collection centers
run by local public disposal operations – not even by small commercial operators.
Please contact Sartorius Service for this purpose.
Procedure
t Prior to disposal and scrapping of the device: Remove the batteries and dispose
of them at a local collection point.
t Detailed information with service addresses for the disposal of your device can be
