Recycling the packaging

Warning: Keep all the
packaging materials out of
children's reach (e.g. plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.): these can be
dangerous for children: risk of suf-
focation).
Recovering and reprocessing
packaging material saves on
material and reduces the amount
of waste.
Take your packaging to the near-
est recycling centre. Contact your
town's local authorities for
details of its location.
Washing economically
and ecologically
DO not wash the items first by
hand (unnecessary waste of
water). Use your dishwasher's
capacity to the full. You will then
wash economically and ecological-
ly.
Always select a washing pro-
gramme suitable for the type of
items and how dirty they are.
Do not overdose with detergent,

cut off the power cable.
Take your unusable machine to
the nearest recycling centre.
