Appliances and the environment
The packing material
Your new coffee maker has been carefully packaged to protect it against damage.
The packing is not harmful to the environment and consists of the following materials:
• Corrugated cardboard
• Filler elements made of polyurethane foam <PUR> covered with a polythene film
(>PE-HD<). The waste processing plant in your municipality will be pleased to inform
you about where you can dispose of the materials.
Discarding the appliance
No appliance lasts forever. When the time comes to discard your appliance it will usually be
possible to return it to your dealer. If this is not the case, ask your municipal council about the
alternatives for recycling the materials. All plastic parts have been given standard codes. The
parts of the appliance such as the printed circuit board and accompanying parts form electrical
and electronic waste. The metal pipes are made of stainless steel and can be completely dis-
mantled.
