Caring for the environment

Disposal of packing materials

The packing materials protect the washer from damage during shipping. They have been selected with an eye to environmental compatibility and efficient disposal, and should be recycled.

Returning packaging to the materials cycle helps conserve raw materials and reduces waste. The packing materials can be returned to your dealer.

Disposing of your old appliance

Old electric and electronic equipment often contains valuable materials. However, they may also contain harmful substances that were necessary for safe use. Improperly disposing of these items in your household waste can be detrimental to health and the environment. This is why it is important NEVER to dispose of your old appliance with the regular household garbage.

Instead, please contact your local community waste collection point to return and recycle electric and electronic appliances. Your dealer should be able to provide you with details.

If the appliance is being stored for disposal, please make sure it has been child-proofed.
