Disposal of the packaging material
The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine against
transport damage. The packaging materials used are selected from
materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and can
therefore be recycled.
Recycling the packaging material reduces the use of raw materials in
the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites. Your dealer will take the packaging material away.

Disposing of your old machine

Old electrical and electronic machines often contain valuable materi-
als. However, they also contain harmful substances which were es-
sential for their correct functioning and safety. These could be haz-
ardous to human health and to the environment if disposed of with
household waste or if handled incorrectly. Therefore, please do not
dispose of your old machine with household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recy-
cling center. Consult your dealer if necessary. Please ensure that your
old machine poses no risk to children while being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
- Make use of the maximum load size that the wash program can
accommodate.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full
load is washed.
- Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended on the
packaging.
- Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller load sizes.
Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash program to save
energy in the subsequent drying cycle.
