Save energy and respect the environment
Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin
●
cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.
●
Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).
●
Recycling and Disposal Information
As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components
to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.
Disposing of the packaging material: follow local regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
●
To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush with the appliance.
●
Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2012/19/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must
be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the
impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of
their old appliance.
