ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Ecologically responsible disposal of packaging
materials and old appliances
Packaging materials
AEG microwave ovens require effective packaging to protect them during
transportation. Only the minimum packaging necessary is used. Packaging materials
(e.g. foil or styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep packaging material away from children.
All packaging materials used are environment friendly and can be recycled. The
cardboard is made from recycled paper and the wooden parts are untreated. Plastic
items are marked as follows:
«PE» polyethylene e.g. packaging film
«PS» polystyrene e.g. packaging (CFC-free)
«PP» polypropylene e.g. packaging straps
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume is
reduced. Packaging should be taken to your nearest recycling centre. Contact your
local council for information.
Disposal of old appliances
Old appliances should be made safe before disposal by removing the plug, and cutting
off and disposing of the power cable.
It should then be taken to the nearest recycling centre. Check with your local Council
or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling
the appliance.
