WASTE! DON'T THROW AWAY
– RECYCLE!
According to European Directive
2012/19/EU, used electrical
devices must be collected separate-
ly for environmentally compatible
recycling or recovery. The symbol of
the crossed out dustbin means that
this device must not be disposed of
in household waste at the end of
its service life. The device must be
handed in at established collection
points, recycling centres or waste
management depots.
The disposal of defective devices
which you have sent in will be
carried out free of charge. In addi-
tion, distributors of electrical and
electronic equipment as well as food
distributors are obliged to accept re-
turned waste. Lidl provides you with
return options directly in its branches
and shops. Return and disposal is
free of charge for you. When buy-
ing a new device you have the right
to return an equivalent old device at
no charge. In addition you have the

Before returning the device please
delete all personal information.
Before returning, please remove bat-
teries or rechargeable battery packs
which are not enclosed by the old
device, as well as bulbs, which can
be removed without destroying the
product and take these to a sepa-
rate collection point.
Batteries containing harmful
substances are labelled with
the adjacent symbol, which
indicates the prohibition on disposal
in household waste. The abbrevia-
tions for the relevant heavy metals
are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury,
Pb = lead.
Take used batteries to a waste
management company in your city
or community or return them to
your dealer. This satisfies your legal
obligations while also making an
important contribution to protecting
the environment.

the different packaging
materials and separate them
as necessary. The packaging
materials are marked with abbrevia-
tions (a) and digits (b) with the
following definitions: 1–7: Plastics,
