2Disposal

Disposing of the Packaging Material!

Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakka- ging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.

•Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbrevi- ations:

>PE<

>PS<

>POM<

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

Disposing of your old appliance!

When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.

2Environmental Tips

•You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with av- erage soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the environment).

•When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is es- pecially efficient.

•For small loads, use only one half to two thirds of the recommended quantity of detergent.

•By pre-treating stains and marks you will be able to wash at a lower temperature.

•It is often possible to wash without using softener. Give it a try! If you use a drier, your washing will be soft and fluffy even without a softener.

•For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see “De- tergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (= soft).
