Cleaning

dry cloth or with a paint brush. Do not use
water or metal objects.
Maintenance
• The appliance cleaner is maintenance
free.
Disposal/environmental
protection
Remove the battery from the device and re-
cycle the device, battery, accessories and
packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
Electrical devices do not belong in
domestic waste.
Do not throw batteries into domestic
waste, fire (risk of explosion) or wa-
ter. Damaged batteries can harm
the environment and your health if
poisonous fumes or liquids escape.
Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical
and electronic equipment: Used electrical
devices must be collected separately for
disposal and recycled in an environmental-
ly sound manner.
Depending on the implementation in na-
tional law, you may have the following
options:
• Return to a shop: Food retailers with a
total sales area of at least 800 square
metres that offer electric and electronic
devices multiple times a year or perma-
nently and distribute them on the market
are obligated to take back old electric
and electronic devices at no charge.
When handing a new electric or elec-
22
tronic device to an end user, they have
to take back an old device of the same
kind from the end user that essentially ful-
fils the same functions as the new device
at the site of handover or in the immedi-
ate vicinity at no charge as well as take
back up to three old devices per device
type with external dimensions no larger
than 25 centimetres in the retail shop
or the immediate vicinity at no charge
without the purchase of an electric or
electronic device at the request of the
end customer.
• Hand over to an official collection point:
Take the device to a recycling plant. The
plastic and metal parts used on your de-
vice can be properly sorted according to
materials and grades and efficiently re-
cycled. Please contact our service centre
for more information.
• Return to the manufacturer/distributor:
We will dispose of any defective de-
vices that you send to us free of charge.
Please contact our service centre for
more information.
This does not affect accessories enclosed
with the old devices or tools without any
electrical components.
Dispose of the batteries according to local
standards. Defective or used batteries must
be recycled in accordance with Directive
2006/66/EC. Hand in the batteries at a
used battery collection point where they
are recycled in an environmentally friend-
ly manner. For more information, please
contact your local waste management pro-
vider or our service centre.
Dispose of batteries in a discharged state.
We recommend covering the contacts with
an adhesive strip to protect against short
circuits. Do not open the battery.
