11. Disposal and recycling

Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against dam-
age during transport. Packing materials are usually
chosen depending on their environmental friendli-
ness and disposal method and can therefore be
recycled. Returning the package to material circu-
lation saves raw materials and reduces waste dis-
posal costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®)
can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of packages away from children and dis-
pose them as soon as possible.
The unit and its accessories are made of various
types of material, such as metal and plastic. Defec-
tive components must be disposed of as special
waste. Ask your dealer or your local council.
