Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging materials and old appliances

Packaging materials

AEG-Electrolux microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used. Packaging materials (e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.

Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.

All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be recycled. The cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic items are marked as follows:

«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film «PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-free) «PP» polypropylene eg packaging straps

By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is reduced. Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your local council for information.
