Environmental protection

The packaging material can be recy-
cled. Please arrange for the environ-
mentally appropriate disposal of the
packaging.
Electrical and electronic devices often
contain components which could po-
tentially pose a danger to human
health and the environment if handled
or disposed of incorrectly. However,
these components are necessary for
the proper operation of the device. De-
vices marked with this symbol must not
be disposed of with regular household
rubbish.
Cleaning operations which produce
oily waste water, e.g. engine washes,
underbody washes, may only be car-
ried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
Work with detergents must only be per-
formed on liquid-tight work surfaces
with a connection to the sewer system.
Do not let release detergent into wa-
ters or earth.
The extraction of water from public wa-
ters is prohibited in some countries.
