Free return of old
electrical appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical
appliance of the same type with
essentially the same function, con-
sumers may return an old electrical
appliance to a distributor obliged
to take back old appliances, at no
extra cost for the consumers . This
option also exists for deliveries
made to a private household . For
distance selling, the option of hav-
ing old electrical equipment col-
lected for free applies only in the
case of purchase of new electrical
equipment with heat exchangers
(e .g . refrigerators, dehumidifiers),
screens and display devices with
a screen surface > 100 cm², and
large devices with at least one of
its external dimensions measuring
more than 50 cm .
In addition, consumers may return
up to three old electrical appli-
ances of the same type to a dis-
tributor's collection point for free,
without having to purchase a new
electrical appliance . In this case,
however, the old appliances' ex-
ternal dimensions may not exceed
25 cm .
