Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the
appliance from damage during transporta-
tion. The packaging materials used are se-
lected from materials which are environ-
mentally friendly for disposal and should be
recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of
raw materials in the manufacturing process
and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites.

Disposing of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often
contain valuable materials. They also con-
tain specific materials, compounds and
components, which were essential for their
correct function and safety. These could be
hazardous to human health and to the envir-
onment if disposed of with your domestic
waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do
not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community
waste collection / recycling centre for elec-
trical and electronic appliances, or contact
your dealer or Miele for advice. You are also
responsible (by law, depending on country)
for deleting any personal data that may be
stored on the appliance being disposed of.
Please ensure that your old appliance poses
no risk to children while being stored prior
to disposal.
