Caring For The Environment; Disposing Of Your Old Appliance - Miele HS20 Mode D'emploi

en - Caring for the environment
Disposing of sales packaging
The packaging material protects the va-
cuum cleaner from transport damage.
The packaging materials used are se-
lected from materials which are environ-
mentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material re-
duces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also re-
duces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Ensure that any plastic wrap-
pings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely
and kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Before disposing of your old appliance,
remove the fine dust filter including the
filter mat and the exhaust filter and dis-
pose of them with your household
waste.
Electrical and electronic 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 human health and to the environment
if disposed of with household waste or
if handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household waste.
Instead, please make use of officially
designated collection and disposal
points to dispose of and recycle elec-
trical and electronic appliances in your
local community, with your dealer or
with Miele. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children
while being stored for disposal.
