Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive
2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures al-
ways take priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devices, waste
prevention measures include extending the
lifespan of defective devices through repair
and reselling used working appliances in-
stead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our
customer service if your product is faulty.
More information can be found in the bro-
chure 'Waste Prevention Programme - of the
German Government with the Involvement of
the Federal Länder'.
Environmental protection/disposal
Disposing of old
electrical devices in an
environmentally-friendly

manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful
substances as well as valuable re-
sources.
Every consumer is therefore required
by law to dispose of old electrical appliances
at an authorised collection or return point.
They will thus be made available for environ-
mentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
Batteries and rechargeable
batteries
This symbol means that batteries
and rechargeable batteries must not
be disposed of with other household
waste.
Consumers are required by law to bring all
batteries and rechargeable batteries, regard-

ed by their communal authority or borough or
to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner and so
that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or
copper) can be recovered.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be
returned free of charge.
Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury,
cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improp-
erly disposed of, can have adverse effects on
the environment. Heavy metals, for instance,
can have detrimental health effects on hu-
