Environment
- Do not throw away the appliance with the normal household waste at
the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for
recycling. By doing this, you help to preserve the environment (Fig. 14).
- The built-in rechargeable batteries contain substances that may pollute
the environment. Always remove the batteries before you discard and
hand in the appliance at an official collection point. Dispose of the
batteries at an official collection point for batteries. If you have trouble
removing the batteries, you can also take the appliance to a Philips
service centre. The staff of this centre will remove the batteries for you
and will dispose of them in an environmentally safe way (Fig. 15).
