Waste prevention, free return and disposal

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 States".
Free return of old electrical
appliances
Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance
of the same type with essentially the same
function, consumers may return an old elec-
trical 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 having old
electrical equipment collected for free applies
only in the case of purchase of new electrical
equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrig-
erators, 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 appliances of the same type to
a distributor's collection point for free, with-
out having to purchase a new electrical ap-
pliance. In this case, however, the old appli-
ances' external dimensions may not exceed
25 cm.

Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmentally
friendly manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old elec-
trical appliances at an authorised collection or
return point. They will thus be made available
for environmentally-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.
