Environment concerns

Packaging materials

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Old machine

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
