Proper use
Environmental protection
The packaging material can be recycled. Please
arrange for the environmentally appropriate dis-
posal of the packaging.
Old appliances contain valuable recyclable mate-
rials that should be recycled properly. Please ar-
range for the environmentally appropriate disposal
of the old devices.
Electrical and electronic devices often contain com-
ponents which could potentially pose a danger to
human health and the environment if handled or
disposed of incorrectly. However, these compo-
nents are necessary for the proper operation of the
device. Devices marked with this symbol must not
be disposed of with regular household rubbish.
Cleaning operations which produce oily waste wa-
ter, e.g. engine washes, underbody washes, may
only be carried out using washing stations
equipped with an oil separator.
Work with detergents must only be performed on
liquid-tight work surfaces with a connection to the
sewer system. Do not let release detergent into
waters or earth.
The extraction of water from public waters is pro-
hibited in some countries.
