Disposal information
Vacuum cleaners, batteries, accessories and packaging
should be recycled in an environmentally responsible
manner.
Do not dispose of the vacuum cleaner or the batteries
along with your normal household waste.
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum
cleaner from being damaged in transit. It is made of
environmentally friendly materials and can therefore
be recycled. Dispose of packaging that is no longer
required at an appropriate recycling point.
Old appliances
Old appliances often still contain valuable materi-
als. You should therefore take appliances that have
reached the end of their service life to your dealer
or a recycling centre so that they can be recycled.
Please ask your dealer or your local council about
current disposal methods.
