manual.

Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●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.
●Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the
machine as small loads are uneconomical.
●Save energy and reduce drying time by ensuring the
laundry load has been thoroughly spun before
attempting to machine dry.
●Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
●Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
��When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.
●Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
