8. Disposal instructions
In line with the European WEEE directive, electrical and electronic products should not be
disposed of along with domestic waste. Their components have to be sent separately for recy-
cling or disposal, as improper disposal of toxic and dangerous components may permanently
damage the environment. According to the electrical and electronic equipment act (ElektroG),
you are obliged (as a consumer) to return (free of charge) electrical and electronic units to
the manufacturer, the point of sale or the public collection points set up for this purpose at
the end of their service life. The relevant local laws regulate the details in this regard. The
symbol displayed on the product, in the user manual or/and on the packaging refers to these
regulations. With this manner of sorting, recycling and disposal of used products, you make an
important contribution towards protecting our environment. For information on authorised
safe assembly points in your area, please contact your local city or municipal office.
