Disposal
The product and packaging material are recyclable. Please dispose
of them separately for better waste management. To learn options for
disposal of the used product, please contact your municipal or city
administration.
Check the labelling on the packaging material when se-
parating waste – they are marked with abbreviations
(a) and numbers (b) with the following meaning:

Disposal of the electrical device
The symbol with the crossed-out dustbin means that electrical
and electronic equipment must not be disposed of together with
household waste. Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of
electrical and electronic equipment at the end of their life sepa-

able batteries that are not an integral part of the electrical or electronic
device and can be removed without being destroyed, must be sepa-
rated from the device before handing it in at a collection point for de-
signated disposal. The same applies to lightbulbs that can be removed
from the device without being destroying. Owners of electrical and
electronic equipment who are private individuals can hand them in at
the collection points operated by the public waste disposal agencies or
at the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors. Returning
used devices is free of charge. This free take-back obligation applies
both to purchases in shops and to home deliveries. The place of perfor-

mance of the delivery. Transport costs may not be charged for returned
equipment. In general, distributors have the obligation to ensure the
free return of used devices by providing suitable return facilities within a
reasonable distance. Consumers have the option to return an old de-
vice free of charge to a distributor who is obliged to take it back if they
purchase an equivalent new device with essentially the same function.
This option is also available for deliveries to a private household. In
the case of distance selling retailers, the option of free collection when
purchasing a new device is limited to heat exchangers, display screen
devices, and large devices that have at least one outer edge with a
