SPECIAL DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CONSUMERS IN GERMANY
Dispose of your old appliances properly. This ensures that WEEE is recycled
in an environmentally sound manner and that negative impacts on the
environment and human health are avoided. The following rules must be
observed during disposal:
• Every consumer is legally obliged to dispose of electrical
and electronic equipment (waste equipment) as well as
batteries and accumulators separately from household
waste. You can recognise the corresponding waste equip-
ment by the following symbol of the crossed-out waste
bin (WEEE symbol).
• You must separate used batteries and accumulators that are not
enclosed in the old appliance, as well as lamps that can be removed
from the old appliance without destroying it, from the old appliance
without destroying it before handing it in at a disposal point.
• Certain lamps and bulbs also fall under the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act and must therefore be treated as old equipment.
Incandescent bulbs and halogen lamps are excluded. Please dispose of
light bulbs and halogen lamps with your household waste unless they
bear the WEEE symbol.
• Each consumer is responsible for deleting personal data from the
electrical or electronic equipment.
