Disposal Of Your Old Appliance; Caring For The Environment - Miele Triflex HX1R - 1422 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

en-CA - Caring for the environment
Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport damage.
We recommend you keep the
packaging for transport purposes.
The packaging materials used are
selected from materials which are
environmentally friendly for disposal
and can therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material
reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also
reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Make sure the packaging is
disposed of in the proper manner for
your area.

Disposal of your old appliance

Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the fine dust filter and dispose
of it with your household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which are essential for
the proper functioning and safe use of
the equipment. Handling these
materials improperly by disposing of
them in your household waste can be
harmful to your health and the
environment. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old appliance with your
regular household waste.
Instead, use the official collection and
disposal points provided by local
authorities, dealers or Miele, in order to
dispose of and recycle electrical and
54
electronic appliances. You are legally
responsible for deleting any personal
data on the old appliance you wish to
dispose of. Please ensure that your old
appliance is kept away from children
until removal.
Disposal of old batteries
Many electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries which
must not be disposed of with
household waste after use. You are
legally obliged to remove any old
batteries which are not securely
enclosed by the appliance and take
them to a suitable collection site (e.g.,
retailer) where they can be handed in
free of charge. Insulate the metal
contacts with adhesive tape to prevent
short circuits. Batteries may contain
substances which can be hazardous to
human health and the environment.
The labeling on the battery will provide
further information. For example,
batteries containing lithium are marked
"Li-ion". The bin symbol with a cross
through it means that the batteries must
not be disposed of in household waste.
We are also required to inform you that
a bin with a cross through it which also
has one or more chemical symbols on it
indicates that the battery contains lead
(Pb), cadmium (Cd), and / or mercury
(Hg).
Old batteries contain important raw
materials and can be recycled.
Disposing of batteries separately makes
them easier to handle and recycle.
