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 .
In the case of electrical and electronic equip-
ment, waste prevention measures include, in
particular, prolonging the life of the equipment
by repairing defective articles and selling
used ones in good working order instead of
dispatching them for disposal .
Please help us reduce waste and contact our
customer service if your product is faulty .
Further particulars are available as part of the
Waste Prevention Programme of the German
Government with the Involvement of the Fed-
eral Länder .
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 .
