Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing mate‐
rial
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance 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 manufactur‐
ing process and also reduces the
amount of waste in landfill sites.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances of‐
ten contain valuable materials. They al‐
so contain materials which, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be po‐
tentially hazardous to human health and
to the environment. They are, however,
essential for the correct functioning of
your appliance. Please do not therefore
dispose of it with your household
waste.
Please dispose of it at your local com‐
munity waste collection / recycling cen‐
tre.
Ensure that it presents no danger to
children while being stored for disposal.

Energy saving tips
To avoid unnecessarily long drying
times and high consumption of energy:
– Make sure that your laundry is thor‐
oughly spun before drying. The high‐
er the spin, the greater the savings
that can be made in energy and time
during drying.
– Load according to the optimum
amount of laundry recommended for
the programme being used. Under‐
loading is uneconomical. Overload‐
ing gives a poorer quality of drying
and may cause unnecessary creas‐
ing.
– Make sure the room temperature is
not too high. If there are other heat
producing appliances in the room in
which the dryer is located, make sure
the room is well ventilated and switch
the other appliances off, if possible.
– Clean the fluff filters in the door
opening after every drying cycle.
