Disposal Of The Packing Material; Disposing Of Your Old Appliance; Caring For The Environment - Miele SLQL0 Instrucciones De Uso

Disposal of the packing mater-
ial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
use of raw materials in the manufactur-
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials, com-
pounds and components, which were
essential for their correct function and
safety. These could be hazardous to hu-
man health and to the environment if
disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com-
munity waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic ap-
pliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also respons-
ible (by law, depending on country) for
deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed
of. Please ensure that your old appli-
ance poses no risk to children while be-
ing stored prior to disposal.

Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic appli-
ances contain batteries and re-
chargeable batteries which, when de-
pleted, must not be thrown away with
your household waste. You are required
by law (depending on country) to re-
move any removable batteries or re-
chargeable batteries and to dispose of
them in a suitable recycling box for bat-
teries. This service is free of charge.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain substances which can damage
human health and the environment.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A bin with a line through it
means that the battery or rechargeable
battery must on no account be dis-
posed of with your household waste. A
bin with a line through it which also has
one or several chemical symbols on it,
indicates that the battery or re-
chargeable battery contains lead (Pb),
cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and re-
cycle.
