Caring For The Environment - Miele S 5000 series Operating Instructions Manual

Disposal of packing material
The packing material protects the
vacuum cleaner from transport
damage. The transport and protective
packing has been selected from
materials which are environmentally
friendly for disposal and can normally
be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling. Sort packing
materials for disposal according to type
of material (e.g. plastics or cardboard).
Disposing of the dustbag and
filters
These are made from environmentally
friendly materials, and can be disposed
of with the normal household waste, as
long as they have been used
exclusively for general household dust.

Caring for the environment

Disposing of your old
appliance
Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the dustbag and filter and
dispose of them with the normal
household waste.
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, or contact your Miele Vacuum
Cleaner Specialist for advice.
Ensure that your old appliance presents
no danger to children while being
stored for disposal.
