Simple line drawing of a trash bin with two crossed x-axes (no text or symbols)

If at some point it is no longer possible to use the facial sauna, each consumer is required by law to dispose of old devices separately from their household waste, e.g. at a collection point in their community/borough. This ensures that old devices are recycled in a professional manner and also rules out negative

consequences for the environment. For this reason, electrical equipment is marked with the symbol shown here.
