2Disposal

Packaging

Dispose of the packaging material correctly. All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger to the environment.

•Plastic parts can be recycled and are identified as follows:

>PE<	for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in
	the interior.
>PS<	for polystyrene, e.g. padding (always CFC-free)
>POM<	for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips

•Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

When disposing of the washing machine!

Cut off the mains cable and destroy the plug. Disable the door catch to prevent young children becoming trapped inside. Use an authorised disposal site.

2Environmental tips

•It is not usually necessary to Pre-wash or Soak normally soiled wash- ing. This will save you detergent, water and time (and protect the en- vironment as well).

•It is more economical to wash full loads.

•When washing small loads, use half to two thirds the recommended quantity of detergent.

•Pre-treat stains, if necessary, and then wash at a lower temperature.

•It can be possible to wash without fabric softeners, if clothes are dried in a tumble dryer, as this can give soft and fluffy results.

•In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturer’s recommen- dations.
