Caring for the Environment
Responsible disposal of the packaging
The packaging of your appliance has been selected from environmentally
friendly materials and can usually be recycled. Please ensure these are
disposed of correctly.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young
children, please ensure all packaging materials are out of reach and
are safely disposed of. Please ensure they are offered for recycling rather
than throwing these materials away.
Responsible disposal of the appliance
At the end of its working life, do not throw this appliance out with your
household rubbish. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will

Electrical and electronic appliances contain materials and substances
which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially
hazardous on the environment and human health.
Observe any local regulations regarding the disposal of electrical
consumer goods and dispose of it appropriately. Contact your local
authorities for advice on recycling facilities in your area.
The plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind
the appliance or the machine to prevent misuse.
