dIsPosal of the deVIce
The law states that as owner of an electrical or electronic device you are not allowed
(under DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 4th July 2012 on waste electric and electronic equipment, and the re-
formed German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act of 20 October 2015) to dis-
pose of this device or its electrical/electronic accessories via unsorted domestic waste.

Instead, please use the free collection centres intended for this purpose.

Contact your local council for information.

dIsPosIng of the PacKagIng
The packaging is an important part of our product: it protects our devices from damage dur-
ing transportation and reduces the risk of a device fault. For this reason, we cannot avoid us-
ing packaging. If you need to return or send in your device during the warranty period, or af-
ter, to the service or customer service department, the original packaging is the best
protection against damages in transit.
If you nevertheless wish to dispose of the packaging, you can do this at any time and without
limitation via your local council facilities (waste paper skip, yellow skip, recycling depot,
waste paper collection etc.). Vorwerk commissions authorised licensors for this. In case of
queries please contact your respective Service centre (see chapter "8 Services" on page 109).
