Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing mate‐ rial
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
The packaging consists of the following materials:
Outer packaging:
–Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recyclable material:
or: Polyethylene (PE) shrink wrap
–Polypropylene (PP) strapping
Inner packaging:
–Chlorine and fluorine free expanded polystyrene (EPS)
–Base, lid frame and support battens made from untreated natural wood from renewable forests
–Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufactur‐ ing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli‐ ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐ ten contain valuable materials. They al‐ so contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐ tentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com‐ munity waste collection / recycling cen‐ tre or contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
To enable sorting by type of plastic for recycling, all plastic parts of the appli‐ ance are labelled with international standard symbols.
