shops and to home deliveries. The place of performance of
the obligation to take back is the same as the place of
performance of the delivery. Transport costs may not be
charged for returned equipment. In general, distributors
have the obligation to ensure the free return of used devices
by providing suitable return facilities within a reasonable
distance. Consumers have the option to return an old
device free of charge to a distributor who is obliged to take
it back if they purchase an equivalent new device with
essentially the same function. This option also exists for
deliveries to a private household. In the case of distance
selling retailers, the option of free collection when
purchasing a new appliance is limited to heat exchangers,
display screen devices, and large appliances that have at
least one outer edge with a length of more than 50 cm. The
distributor must ask the consumer at the time of concluding
the sales contract about the intention to return the product.
Apart from that, consumers can hand in up to three old
devices of one type free of charge at a distributor's
collection point without this being linked to the purchase of
a new device. However, the edge lengths of the respective
devices must not exceed 25 cm.
Disposal of batteries
The accompanying symbol indicates that batteries
must not be disposed of with normal household
waste.
Defective or used batteries must be
recycled in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EU and
its amendments. Consumers are legally obliged to hand in
all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of
whether they contain harmful substances, such as:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium or not,
to a collection point in their municipality/district or a retail
outlet to ensure environmentally friendly disposal and to

WARNING! Environmental
damage due to incorrect
disposal of batteries/
rechargeable batteries!
Some of the possible contents, such as mercury, cadmium
and lead, are poisonous and, if not disposed of properly,
endanger the environment. Heavy metals, for example, can
have harmful effects on the health of humans, animals and
plants and accumulate in both the environment and the
food chain, and then enter the body indirectly via food.
WARNING! Risk of
explosion!
Used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium) have a higher
risk of fire. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the
proper disposal of used batteries containing lithium.
Incorrect disposal can also lead to internal and external
short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical
damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion
and have serious consequences for humans and the
environment. For this reason, tape off the poles of lithium-
based batteries prior to disposal in order to avoid an
external short circuit. Batteries that are not permanently
installed in the device must be removed and disposed of
separately before disposing of the device. Only return
batteries/rechargeable batteries when fully discharged!
Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries
whenever possible.
