Disposing of used appliances
Used appliances do not belong in the household waste!
If the device can no longer be used, each consumer is obligated by law to drop off
used appliances separate from the household waste at a municipal collection point.
This ensures that used appliances are recycled properly and negative effects on the
environment are avoided. Therefore electrical appliances are marked with the above
symbol.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in the household
waste!
You, the consumer, are obligated by law to deposit all batteries and rechargeable
batteries, regardless of whether they contain hazardous substances* or not, at a
collection point in your community/your district or at a retailer so that these can be
disposed of in an environmentally-friendly fashion.
* marked with: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium
