Environmentally Friendly Waste Disposal; Hints And Tips For Eco-Friendly Washing - Hitachi BD-120XGV Instruction Manual

Environmentally Friendly Waste Disposal

Disposing of the packaging
The shipping package has protected your new washing machine on its way to your home. All materials are
ecologically harmless and recyclable. Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging
materials in an environmentally conscious manner.
Ask your dealer about current means of disposal.
Risk of choking!
Do not let children play with packaging and associated parts.
Risk of choking on plastic film and collapsible boxes.
Disposing of your old appliance
Old appliances are not worthless rubbish. Environment-conscious recycling can reclaim them to valuable
new materials.
Risk of death!
Unplug the power plug from appliances you are no longer using. Cut off the power cord and dispose of it
with the plug.
Destroy the lock on the door. To prevent playing children from being trapped and endangered, ensure that
the door locking mechanism is disabled.
If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method
of disposal.

Hints and Tips for Eco-friendly Washing

■
Keep to the load limit of each program.
■
Your washing machine automatically adjusts the operating time and amount of water of each program
depending on the load.
■
You only need to use the Prewash or Intensive options if your laundry is heavily soiled.
■
Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, laundry size and water hardness, and follow the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
■
Using the Cotton program with water temperature at 60ºC setting instead of the Cotton program with
water temperature at 90ºC will save energy, and will remove ordinary stains. Better still, in areas where
the temperature is high, you can remove ordinary stains without using hot water by setting 'Cold'
programs for more economically friendly operation.
