Environmentally friendly disposal (WEEE)
Products that are labeled with the symbol of a crossed dustbin must not, at the end of their life span, be disposed of with common household
waste, but must be handed over to a collecting point that recycles electrical and electronic equipment. The symbol on the product, in the instruction
manual or on the packaging calls the user's attention to such obligation. All materials used are recyclable according to their marking.
When allowing recycling, the reutilization of materials, or any other form of recycling used equipment, you will make a valuable contribution
to the protection of our environment. Please enquire from your local authorities which disposal companies are relevant in your vicinity.
• Please observe the local regulations regarding waste disposal.
• Please observe the WEEE Directive in the version currently applicable.
• Before removing batteries, rechargeable or not, disconnect the product from the power supply.
• Remove any batteries, rechargeable or not, that may be present in a product before scrapping it.
Advice pursuant to the German Regulations regarding Batteries (BattG)
Batteries, rechargeable or not, must not be disposed of with household waste, and consumers are under a legal obligation to return them after use
to a municipal collecting point or to the local trade. Used batteries contain pollutants that may be harmful to you or the environment if they are
not stored or disposed of properly. Batteries also contain precious raw materials such as, for instance, iron, zinc, manganese or nickel that can be
recycled. After use, consumers may return batteries free of charge either to us or in their nearest vicinity (e.g. in local shops or at municipal
collecting points). On doing so, any return by end users at selling points is limited to the usual quantities and to such used batteries that
the distributor carries or has carried in stock as new batteries. The symbol of a crossed dustbin means that batteries, rechargeable or not,
must not be disposed of with household waste.
• Please dispose of all types of batteries at the public collecting points that are responsible for such service and are appointed by your authorities.
