posal of the packaging.
Electrical and electronic devices often contain
components which could potentially pose a dan-
ger to human health and the environment if han-
dled or disposed of incorrectly. However, these
components are necessary for the proper opera-
tion of the device. Devices marked with this sym-
bol must not be disposed of with regular house-
hold rubbish.
Old appliances contain valuable recyclable mate-
rials that should be recycled properly. Batteries
and accumulators contain substances that must
not enter the environment. Please dispose of old
devices and batteries or accumulators in an envi-
ronmentally friendly way.
Cleaning operations which produce oily waste wa-
ter, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may
only be carried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
Work with detergents must only be performed on
liquid-tight work surfaces with a connection to the
sewer system. Do not let release detergent into
waters or earth.
