Disposal
34
When the appliance has reached the end of its useful
life, particularly if it starts to malfunction – you should
render the worn out machine unusable by pulling out
the mains plug from the power socket and cutting
through the power cable.
Dispose of the device in accordance with the
environmental laws of your country.
The appliance’s packaging is made of recyclable
materials. Sort the different types of materials into the
relevant collection bins, so that they can be collected
by the recycling services.
Worn out electronics and electrical devices
contain harmful substances, which were previously
necessary to ensure the device’s functioning and
safety.
Under no circumstances should you dispose of the
worn out appliance with the normal household waste!
If the device is disposed of in the household waste or
if its disposal is handled incorrectly, these substances
can become harmful to human health and the environ-
ment.
Worn out electronics and electrical devices often still
contain useful materials.
Electrical waste should not be disposed of with your
normal household waste. Hand in the worn out
appliance at a central collection point.
Use your local area’s central collection point for
returning and recycling electronics and electrical
devices.
Ask your local authorities or product retailer for more
advice about recycling.
