11. Disposal and recycling

Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against dam-
age during transport. Packing materials are usually
chosen depending on their environmental friendli-
ness and disposal method and can therefore be
recycled. Returning the package to material circu-
lation saves raw materials and reduces waste dis-
posal costs. Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor®)
can be dangerous to children. Risk of suffocation!
