Disposal
The disposal instructions are based on the icons
placed on the appliance or its package.
Any damaged or disposed devices must
be delivered to appropriate collection
centres.
Transport packaging disposal
The packaging protects the machine against damage
during transport. Packaging materials are usually
chosen based on environment aspects and waste
treatment principles and are therefore recyclable. Re-
turning the packaging into material circulation saves
raw materials and reduces waste production. Parts of
packagings (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous
for children.
Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of the packagings out of reach of children
and dispose them as soon as possible.
