Disposal Instructions
The “crossed-out dustbin” symbol (with horizontal line) indicates the separate collection of electrical and electronic equipment, and informs the owner that the device should not be disposed of with household waste at the end of its useful life. When disposing of old electrical equipment containing batteries, accumulators or lamps, these components must be removed beforehand. You can return the electrical components free of charge to your local retail outlet or nearest drop-off point for old electrical equipment. Addresses of suitable collection points can be obtained from your local council or municipal authority. We will only accept old electrical equipment larger than 25 cm if a new electrical appliance with the same essential functions is purchased. Old electrical equipment smaller than 25 cm can be returned at any time – please note that returns are limited to three items per appliance type and customer. Please also remember to erase any personal data stored in your old equipment before returning it for disposal. The separate disposal of old electrical equipment is designed to enable proper recycling and avoid harm to the environment and human health.
The “crossed-out dustbin” symbol on batteries and accumulators indicates that they should not be disposed of with household waste at the end of their useful life. If batteries or accumulators contain mercury, cadmium or lead, you will find the corresponding chemical symbol (Hg, Cd or Pb) below the symbol of the crossed-out dustbin. You are required by law to recycle old batteries and accumulators. You can do this free of charge at a retail store or another collection point near you. Addresses of suitable collection points can be obtained from your local council or municipal authority. Batteries and accumulators may contain substances that can be harmful to the environment and human health. The use of separate collection points for old batteries and accumulators is designed to enable proper recycling and avoid harm to the environment and human health. The battery / accumulator must be removed with suitable tools and disposed of properly. Only dispose of lithium batteries (designation “CR”) and accumulators that have been discharged and secured against short-circuiting.
