Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.

Disposal of your old machine

Old machines contain materials which
can be re-cycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, be-
fore disposing of the machine.
When disposing of an old machine
first make it unusable. Disconnect,
cut off the cable and any plug from
the cable. For environmental and
safety reasons ensure the machine
is completely drained of any
residue water and cleaning agent.
(Observe safety regulations and
wear safety goggles and gloves).
Make the door lock inoperative, so
that children cannot accidentally
shut themselves in. The simplest
way to do this is to remove the lock-
ing pin (2 screws above the door).
Make appropriate arrangements for
the safe disposal of the machine.
For tank system machines ensure
that any water is emptied out of the
tank.
