9. Disposal instructions
Electrical and electronic devices may only be disposed of in accordance with the
European WEEE Directive and not with household rubbish. Components must be
disposed of or recycled separately as dangerous, toxic elements can inflict sus-
tained damage on the environment if they are disposed of incorrectly.
As a consumer, you are bound by the Electrical and Electronic Devices Act (Elek-
troG) to return electrical and electronic goods free of charge at the end of their
useful life to the manufacturer, the place of purchase or to specially set up, pub-
lic collection points. The details in each case are governed by national law. The
symbol on the product, the operating instructions and/or the packaging refers to
these regulations. By separating materials in this way, recycling and disposing of
old devices, you are making an important contribution towards protecting our en-
vironment.
