Information on disposal
Your obligations as an end-user
This electrical or electronic equipment is marked with a
crossed-out wheeled bin. The equipment may therefore
only be collected and returned separately from unsorted
municipal waste, i.e. it must not be disposed of with
household waste. The equipment can be returned, for
example, to a municipal col-lection point or, if applicable,
to a distributor (see below for their take-back obligations
in Germany). This also applies to all components, sub-
assemblies and consumables of the old equipment to be
disposed of.
Before the old equipment may be disposed of all old batteries
and old accumulators that are not enclosed by the old equipment
must be separated from the old equipment. The same applies
to lamps that can be removed from the old equipment without
destroying them. The end-user is also responsible for deleting
personal data from the old equipment.
Notes on recycling
Help recycle all materials marked with this symbol. Do
not dispose of such materials, especially packaging, in the
household waste but via the relevant containers provided
or the appropriate local collection systems.
Help to protect the environment and human health by recycling
including waste of electrical and elec-tronic appliances.
The following additional information applies in Germany
Take-back obligations of distributors
Anyone who sells electrical and electronic equipment on a
sales floor area of at least 400 m² or oth-erwise supplies it to
end users on a commercial basis is obliged, when supplying
a new equipment, to take back at the place of supply or in the
immediate vicinity thereof free of charge an old equipment
belonging to the end user of the same type of equipment which
fulfils essentially the same functions as the new equipment. This
also applies to distributors of groceries with a total sales area
IKEA GUARANTEE
How long is the IKEA guarantee valid?
This guarantee is valid for five (5) years
from the original date of purchase of Your
appliance at IKEA. The original sales receipt
is required as proof of purchase. If service
work is carried out under guarantee, this
will not extend the guarantee period for the
appliance.
of at least 800 m² who offer electrical and electronic equipment
several times a calendar year or on a permanent basis and make
it available on the market. In addition, such distributors must,
at the request of the end-user, take back in the retail shop or in
the immediate vicinity free of charge old equipment that does
not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension (small electrical
equipment) thereof; in this case, take-back may not be linked to
the purchase of an electrical or electronic equipment but may be
lim-ited to three old equipment per type of equipment.
The place of delivery is also the private household if the new
electrical or electronic equipment is de-livered; in this case the
collection of the old equipment is free of charge for the end user.
The above obligations also apply to distribution using means of
distance communication if the dis-tributors maintain storage
and dispatch areas for electrical and electronic equipment or
total storage and dispatch areas for groceries that correspond
to the sales areas mentioned above. However, the free collection
of electrical and electronic equipment is then restricted to
heat transmitters (e.g. refrig-erators), screens, monitors and
equipment containing screens with a surface area of more
than 100 cm² and equipment where at least one of the external
dimensions is more than 50 cm. For all other electrical and
electronic equipment the distributor must ensure appropriate
return facilities within a reasonable distance from the respective
end-user; this also applies to small electrical equipment (see
above) that the end-user wishes to return without purchasing a
new equipment.
