PACKAGING

ing is made of materials that can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
Observe the following packaging material label regarding waste separation with the
abbreviations (a) and numbers (b):

(Only for France)
The "Triman" symbol tells the consumer that the product can be recycled, is covered
by an extended system of manufacturer's responsibility and must be sorted by ma-
terial type in France.
APPLIANCE
All old appliances marked with the symbol shown must not be disposed of in nor-
mal household waste.
In accordance with Directive //EU, the appliance must be properly disposed of
at the end of its service life.
This involves separating the materials in the appliance for the purpose of recycling
as well as minimising the environmental impact and negative effects on human
health.
Take old appliances to an electrical scrap collection point or a recycling centre.
Contact your local waste disposal company or your local authority for more informa-
tion on this subject.
BATTERIES
Batteries that carry the symbol illustrated must not be disposed of in ordinary
household waste.
In accordance with Regulation /, batteries must be disposed of properly at
the end of their service life.
They may contain toxic heavy metals and are subject to hazardous waste treatment.
The chemical symbols of the heavy metals are as follows:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
You are legally obliged to return old batteries and rechargeable batteries after use.
Therefore, please return used batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge to
a retailer or a municipal collection point.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries may contain substances that are harmful to
human health and the environment. The negative effects can only be avoided if old
batteries and rechargeable batteries are collected and recycled separately.
Take particular care when handling batteries and rechargeable batteries containing
lithium, as there is an increased risk of fire if they are used incorrectly. Tape the poles
to prevent an external short circuit.
Use batteries with a long service life or rechargeable batteries to reduce the genera-
tion of waste from old batteries.
Follow the storage instructions and avoid completely discharging and recharging
the battery to extend its service life.
