Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect the washing machine from
damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are
selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and should be recycled.
Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the
manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in
landfill sites. 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!

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain valuable materials.
They also contain harmful materials, compounds and components,
which were essential for their correct function and safety. These
could be hazardous to human health and to the environment if
disposed of with general waste or if handled incorrectly. Please do
not, therefore, dispose of your old appliance with general waste.
Please dispose of it at your local waste collection / recycling centre
for electrical and electronic appliance. Please ensure that your old
appliance poses no risk to children while being stored prior to
disposal.
Energy saving tips
- To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full
load is washed.
- Do not exceed the amounts of detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
- Reduce the amount of detergent for smaller loads.
Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme
will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.
