Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure they are
offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose or it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
2
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless, and the
cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.

Energy saving tips

To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
– Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
The higher the spin, the greater the
savings that can be made in energy
and time during drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used.
Underloading is uneconomical.
Overloading gives a poorer quality of
drying, and may cause unnecessary
creasing.
– Make sure the room in which the
dryer is located is well ventilated.
– After every cycle, remove the fluff
from the fluff filter in the door.
– Check all parts of the ventilation on a
regular basis, and remove any
build-up of fluff.
– The vent ducting should be as short,
straight and smooth as possible to
minimise any resistance to the air
throughflow.
