Battery Handling and Disposal

[Warning] Batteries will deplete over time. They can then leak corrosive fluids. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. In the event of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.

Please contact Miele Service before sending the AP01 battery.

Correct Use (Battery)

[Warning] Do not drop or throw the AP01 battery. For safety reasons, do not continue to use an AP01 battery which has been damaged.

Disposing of the AP01 battery: remove the AP01 battery from the vacuum cleaner. Insulate the metal contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Dispose of the AP01 battery in a municipal recycling facility. Do not dispose of the AP01 battery with your household waste.

Caring for the Environment

Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Disposal of the packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the appliance from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally 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

Before disposing of your old vacuum cleaner, remove the fine dust filter and dispose of it with your household waste.

Electronic and electrical appliances contain many valuable materials. They also contain certain materials, compounds and components which were essential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be hazardous to your health and to the environment if disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do not, therefore, dispose of your old vacuum cleaner with your household waste.

Instead, please make use of officially designated collection and disposal points to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances in your local community, with your dealer or with Miele.

Disposing of old batteries

In many cases, electrical and electronic appliances contain batteries which must not be disposed of with household waste after use. You are legally obliged (depending on country) to remove any old batteries which are not securely enclosed by the vacuum cleaner and to take them to a suitable collection point (e.g. retailer) where they can be handed in free of charge. Batteries may contain substances which can be hazardous to human health and the environment.

The labelling on the battery will provide further information. The bin symbol with a cross through it means that the batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. A bin with a cross through it which also has one or more chemical symbols on it indicates that the battery contains lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and/or mercury (Hg).

Old batteries contain valuable raw materials which can be recycled. Disposing of batteries separately makes them easier to handle and recycle.
