Disposal of the packing material
The packaging is designed to protect against transportation damage.
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 man-
ufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill
sites. Your dealer will take the packaging materials away.
Disposing of your old machine
Old electrical and electronic appliances 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. Please do not, therefore,
dispose of your old machine with household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recyc-
ling centre for electrical and electronic appliances. Consult your
dealer if necessary.
Please ensure that your old machine poses no risk to children while
being stored for disposal.
Energy saving tips
- To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load
size for the wash programme you are using.
Energy and water consumption is most efficient 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 load sizes.
Select the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme to
save energy in the subsequent tumble dryer cycle.
