Disposal

Information on disposal
Packaging
The packaging is designed to protect the vacuum cleaner from
being damaged during transportation. It is made of environ-
mentally friendly materials and can therefore be recycled.
Dispose of packaging that is no longer required at an appropriate
recycling point.
Old appliances
This appliance contains rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
The appliance must therefore only be disposed of by an
authorised after-sales service or dealer.
Batteries
Please follow the notes on transport.
Integrated batteries may only be removed by specialist
personnel for the purpose of disposal. Opening the housing
shell may damage the vacuum cleaner.
To remove the battery from the vacuum cleaner, press the
on/off switch (Fig. 5) until the battery is fully discharged.
Unscrew the screws on the housing and take off the housing
shell to remove the battery.
To prevent a short circuit, disconnect the battery connections
individually one after the other and then insulate the
terminals.
Even in the case of complete discharge, the battery still
contains a residual capacity that may be released in the event
of a short circuit.
