Disposing of old elec-
trical devices in an en-
vironmentally-friendly
manner
Electrical appliances
contain harmful sub-
stances as well as val-
uable resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old
electrical appliances at an au-
thorised collection or return point.
They will thus be made available
for environmentally-sound, re-
source-saving recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical
appliances free of charge at your
local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer di-
rectly for more information about
this topic.

Batteries and rechargea-
ble batteries
of with other household waste.
Consumers are required by law
to bring all batteries and re-
chargeable batteries, regardless
of whether they contain harmful
substances*) or not, to a collec-
tion point operated by their com-
munal authority or borough or to
a retailer, so that they can be dis-
posed of in an environmentally
friendly manner and so that valu-
able resources (e.g. cobalt, nick-
el or copper) can be recovered.
Batteries and rechargeable bat-
teries can be returned free of
charge.
Some of the possible contents
(e.g. mercury, cadmium and
lead) are toxic and, if improperly
disposed of, can have adverse
effects on the environment.
Heavy metals, for instance, can
have detrimental health effects
on humans, animals and plants
and accumulate in the environ-
ment and food chain, and then
enter the body indirectly through
the consumption of food.
This symbol means
that batteries and re-
chargeable batteries
must not be disposed
