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 li-
fespan of defective devices through repair and
reselling used working appliances instead 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 brochure
'Waste Prevention Programme – of the Ger-
man Government with the Involvement of the
Federal 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 deliver-
ies made to a private household. For distan-
ce selling, the option of having old electrical
equipment collected for free applies only in
the case of purchase of new electrical equip-
ment 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 dimen-
sions 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, without
having to purchase a new electrical applian-
ce. In this case, however, the old appliances'
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 requi-
red by law to dispose of old electri-
cal 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.
Please remove batteries,
rechargeable batteries and
lamps/bulbs!
If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable
batteries that are not encased by an old elec-
trical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that
can be removed from an old electrical applian-
ce without being destroyed, must be removed
and disposed of separately before you return
the appliance.
Don't forget to erase data!
If necessary, each consumer is responsible
for erasing personal data from electrical and
electronic equipment.
