The system is manufactured without the use of CFC and CHC and is
produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to re-use
components and material.
But there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf Inter-
national GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in
a Recycling Centre, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when it
is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this wastes
energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer break or
finish your work.
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Centre Paderborn (for
European countries) for information on how to return and reuse devices and
disposable materials under the following mail address.

The surface of your Touch Screen should be cleaned with a mild,
abrasive free, commercially available glass cleaning product. All pH
neutral materials (pH 6 to 8) are good for cleaning. Cleaners with pH
values 9 to 10 are not recommended. Cleaning with water and isopropyl
alcohol is possible as well. Do not use solvents containing acetic acid.
Use a soft, fine-meshed cloth to clean the surface. Dampen the cloth
slightly and then clean the screen.
A wrong maintenance may cause damages to the screen, which are not
covered by guarantee or warranty.
