Packaging material / Disposal of old machine
erial
The packaging is designed to protect
e machine from damage during
th transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the
se of raw materials in the
u manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposing of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines often
tain valuable materials. They also
con contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your machine. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local commu centre or contact your dealer for advice.
Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
