Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and can normally be recycled.
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!
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are offered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, and ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.

It should be unplugged or
disconnected from the mains electricity
supply by a competent person. The
plug must be rendered useless, and the
cable cut off directly behind it to
prevent misuse. See the "Warning and
Safety" section of this booklet for further
details.

Energy-saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can make the most of
your machine by following these tips:
^ If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be
connected to a hot water supply, for
further economies.
Although all stages of the wash
then take place with hot water,
savings are made in:
- the use of primary energy,
- costs,
- programme running time.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend
connection to cold water.
^ For most economical dishwashing
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
^ Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
^ Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
^ Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
*) Connect the dishwasher to cold wa-
ter if it is mainly used for washing
glassware and beer glasses.
