Caring For The Environment - Miele DA 2906 Operating And Installation Instructions

Disposal of the packing
material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain valuable materials. They
also contain specific materials,
compounds and components, which
were essential for their correct function
and safety. These could be hazardous
to human health and to the environment
if disposed of with your domestic waste
or if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre for electrical and electronic
appliances, or contact your dealer or
Miele for advice. You are also
responsible for deleting any personal
data that may be stored on the
appliance being disposed of. Please

Caring for the environment

ensure that your old appliance poses no
risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.
Disposing of old batteries and
rechargeable batteries
Some electrical and electronic
appliances contain batteries and
rechargeable batteries which, when
depleted, must not be thrown away with
your household waste. You are required
by law to remove any removable
batteries or rechargeable batteries and
to dispose of them in a suitable
recycling box for batteries. This service
is free of charge. Batteries and
rechargeable batteries contain
substances which can damage human
health and the environment.
Further instructions regarding disposal
are given on batteries and rechargeable
batteries. A bin with a line through it
means that the battery or rechargeable
battery must on no account be
disposed of with your household waste.
A bin with a line through it which also
has one or several chemical symbols on
it, indicates that the battery or
rechargeable battery contains lead (Pb),
cadmium (Cd) and/or quicksilver (Hg).
Old batteries and rechargeable batteries
contain important raw materials which
can be recycled. Disposing of batteries
and rechargeable batteries separately
makes them easier to handle and
recycle.
