Disposal
Important information in accordance
with the Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Act (Germany: ElektroG)
We advise owners of electrical and electronic appli-
ances that old electrical and electronic devices must
be handed in separately from municipal waste, in
accordance with the applicable regulations. Batteries
and rechargeable batteries that are not firmly
enclosed in old electrical devices and lamps, and
that can be removed from the old device without
destroying them, must be separated from them in a
non-destructive manner before they are handed to
the collection point for their intended disposal. Please
take note of our information on the Batteries Act
[Germany: BattG] below for disposing of batteries.
You make an important contribution to returning,
recycling and further processing of old devices if you
separate your old devices into the correct collection
groups for recycling.
The symbol below of a crossed-out dustbin, applied to
electrical and electronic appliances, also advises of
the duty to separate collections:
Consumer electronics stores and supermarkets are
obliged, under certain conditions, to take back old
electrical and electronic devices, in accordance with
section 17 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act. Stationary retailers must take back an old elec-
trical device of the same type when a new electrical
device is bought (1:1 return). This also applies to
home deliveries. These retailers must also take back
up to three small old electrical devices (≤ 25cm)
without this being linked to a new purchase (0:1
return).
In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment Act, as online retailers of electrical devices and
due to our product range, our obligation is limited to
1:1 return of large devices of > 50 cm when selling a
new electrical or electronic device of the same type.
We comply with the obligation of return of devices
other than large devices through our service provider.
You can find the exact contact data and collection
points on our website
www.Teufel.de/entsorgung. It
is also possible to return old electrical and electronic
appliances free of charge at an official delivery point
run by the public waste disposal authorities.
Important: For safety reasons we ask that you refrain
from sending lighting fixtures (some lamps). For
return of lighting fixtures please use the public waste
disposal collection points or contact us directly at
www.Teufel.de/entsorgung.
As an end-user, you are responsible for deleting any
personal data on old electrical appliances before
handing it in.
Important: Our appliances can contain batteries/
rechargeable batteries. If this is the case, please refer
to its attached product documentation for additional
information on the type and chemical make-up of
the battery. For products with battery compartments
you can directly remove the batteries or recharge-
able batteries and dispose of them properly. If the
batteries are built in to the product, do not in any
case attempt to remove the batteries yourself,
instead contact one of our employees or appropriate
specialist staff.
Important information about the
Batteries Act (Germany: BattG)
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be
disposed on in household waste.
Old batteries can contain toxic substances that could
damage the environment or your health if not stored
or disposed of properly. This applies especially to
improper handling of batteries containing lithium.
However, batteries also contain important raw mate-
rials such as iron, zinc, manganese and nickel and
these can be reused. Separate collection enables
recycling of these raw materials and avoids any nega-
tive impact on the environment or human health due
to toxic substances being released.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol means that you
should not dispose of old batteries and rechargeable
batteries in household waste. In addition, you, as the
end-user, are legally obliged to return old batteries.
You can hand in batteries and rechargeable batteries
free of charge at an official return point such as any
public waste disposal collection point. You can also
hand in old batteries, that we stock or have stocked
as new batteries, at one of our Teufel stores or at one
of our dispatch warehouses. However, if you send
them to our dispatch warehouses we would like to
point out the dangerous goods regulations of the
