Disposal of the packaging material
The packaging material protects the Connector Box from transport
damage. The packaging materials used are selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can therefore be
recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in
the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites. Your dealer will take the packaging material away.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They
also contain certain substances, compounds and components which
were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equip-
ment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environ-
ment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper dis-
posal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of
and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no
responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance be-
ing disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away
from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard.
