Old devices must not be
disposed of with house-
hold waste!
If the device is no longer oper-
ational, every consumer is required by
law to dispose of old devices separate-
ly from household waste, e.g. at a col-
lection point run by the communal au-
thority/borough. This ensures that old
devices are recycled in a professional
manner and also rules out negative
consequences for the environment.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
marked with the adjacent symbol.
