Disposing of your old machine

Please note that, depending on the application, the old machine
may be contaminated with blood and other bodily fluids, pathogens,
facultative pathogens or genetically modified material, etc., and must
be decontaminated before disposal.
For environmental and safety reasons, dispose of all process chem-
ical residues in accordance with safety regulations and the manufac-
turer's safety data sheets (wear safety goggles and gloves).
Remove or disable the door so that children cannot become trapped
inside. Then make appropriate arrangements for safe disposal of the
machine.
For machines with a tank system, the water in the tank must be re-
moved beforehand.

Before disposal, all personal data saved in the machine must be
deleted, e.g. user names.
