en - Caring for the environment
Disposal of packing material
The packaging is designed to protect
the robot vacuum cleaner 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 manufacturing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.Make
sure the packaging is disposed of in the
proper manner for your area.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old electrical and electronic machines
often still contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain harmful
substances that were essential for the
proper functioning and safe use of the
equipment. Handling these materials
improperly or disposing of them in your
household waste can be harmful to your
health and the environment. Therefore,
please do not dispose of your old machine with regular household waste.
Old appliances may contain materials
that can be recycled. Please contact
your local recycling authority about the
possibility of recycling these materials.
You can obtain information on this matter from your dealer, if necessary.
The lithium-ion rechargeable battery is
located in the battery compartment on
the bottom of the robot vacuum
cleaner. Remove the rechargeable battery from the robot vacuum cleaner and
the batteries from the remote control.
Dispose of the rechargeable battery and
the batteries in a designated collection
bin for batteries.
12
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner
presents no danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
