- The UV light bulb of the sanitizer contains mercury.
Do not throw the UV light bulb away with the normal
household waste at the end of its life. Hand it in at an
official collection point for recycling.
The built-in rechargeable battery must only be removed
by a qualified professional when the appliance is
discarded. Before removing the battery, make sure that
the battery is completely empty.
Take any necessary safety precautions when you
handle tools to open the appliance and when you
dispose of the rechargeable battery. Be sure to
protect your eyes, hands, fingers, and the surface
on which you work.
When you handle batteries, make sure that your
hands, the product and the batteries are dry.
To avoid accidental short-circuiting of batteries
after removal, do not let battery terminals come
into contact with metal objects (e.g. coins,
hairpins, rings). Do not wrap batteries in
aluminum foil. Tape battery terminals or put
batteries in a plastic bag before you discard them.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or
cloth, a hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver.

procedure outlined below.
