Disposal and waste prevention
Our contribution to protecting
the ozone layer
100% CFC and HFC-free refriger-
ants and foaming agents were used
in this appliance. This protects the
ozone layer and reduces the greenhouse ef-
fect.
Our packaging is made of environmental-
ly-friendly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
– Saving energy also protects against exces-
sive global warming. Your new appliance
uses little energy due to its environmentally
friendly insulation and technology.
If you would like to dispose of the packag-
ing, please dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly way.
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of Directive
2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures al-
ways take priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devices, waste
prevention measures include extending the
lifespan of defective devices through repair
and reselling used working appliances in-
stead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our
service center if your product is faulty.
More information can be found in the bro-
chure “Waste Prevention Programme - of the
German Government with the Involvement of
the Federal States”.
Disposing of old
electrical devices in an
environmentally-friendly
manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old elec-
trical appliances at an authorised collection or
return point. They will thus be made available
for environmentally-sound, resource-saving
recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
