Recycling the packaging

Warning: Keep all the packaging materials out of

the reach of children (e.g. plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.): these can be dangerous for children: risk of

suffocation).

Recovering and reprocessing packaging material saves on material and reduces the amount of waste.

Take your packaging to the near- est recycling centre. Contact your town’s local authorities for details of its location.

Recycling your old dishwasher

If you wish to dispose of your old dishwasher, make it completely unusable. Break the door lock so that it cannot close (children can become locked in when playing inside the machine – risk of suffo- cation).

Remove the electrical plug and cut off the power cable.

Take your unusable machine to the nearest recycling centre. Contact your town’s local authori- ties for details of its location.

If you are in any doubt about the operation of your machine, before calling a service agent, check the following points (depending on the symptoms noticed).

Washing economically and ecologically

DO not wash the items first by hand (unnecessary waste of water). Use your dishwasher’s capacity to the full. You will then wash economically and ecological- ly.

Always select a washing pro- gramme suitable for the type of items and how dirty they are. Do not overdose with detergent,

regenerating salt or rinse aid fluid. Follow the recommendations in these instructions (Pages 6-7-8) and the manufacturer’s instruc- tions on the pack.

Ensure that the water softener is set correctly (see Page 6).
