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

To save water and energy, and to help protect the environment, we rec- ommend that you follow these tips.

Do not use a pre-wash for normally soiled washing.

It is more economical to wash full loads.

When washing small loads, reduce the detergent by half to two thirds.

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

Use the energy-saving programme when washing light to normally soiled garments.

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