Caring For The Environment - Miele SGDE0 Instructions D'utilisation

Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposing of the FilterBags
and filters
Filterbags and filters are made from en-
vironmentally friendly materials, and can
be disposed of with the normal house-
hold waste, as long as they have been
used exclusively for general household
dust.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old appliance
remove the FilterBag and filters and dis-
pose of them with your household
waste.
Electronic and electrical appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with general waste.
en - Caring for the environment
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle electri-
cal and electronic appliances. By law,
you are solely responsible for deleting
any personal data from the appliance
prior to disposal. Please ensure that
your old appliance poses no risk to chil-
dren while being stored for disposal.
Disposal of old batteries and
power packs
Electrical and electronic appliances of-
ten contain batteries and power packs
which must not go into household
waste after use. Please remove all ac-
cessible batteries and take them to a
suitable collection site where they can
be collected free of charge. Batteries
and power packs may contain sub-
stances which are harmful to your
health and the environment.
The labeling on the battery or power
pack gives further information. The
crossed-out waste bin means that you
must never put batteries and power
packs into household waste. If the
crossed-out waste bin has one or more
of the listed chemical symbols, it con-
tains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or
mercury (Hg).
Old batteries and power packs contain
important raw materials and can be re-
cycled. Separately collecting old batter-
ies and power packs facilitates handling
and recycling.
