Information concerning waste disposal

Disposing of the

packaging

The shipping package has protected your new

appliance on its way to your home. All utilised materials

are ecologically harmless and recyclable. Please

packaging materials in an environmentally conscious

manner.

Please ask your dealer or inquire at your local authority

about current means of disposal.

mRisk of choking!

Do not let children play with packaging and associated

parts. Risk of choking on plastic film and collapsible

boxes.

Disposing of your old

appliance

Old appliances are not worthless rubbish!

Environment-conscious recycling can reclaim valuable

raw materials.

mDanger of death!

Unplug mains plug on redundant appliances.

Cut off mains cable and discard with mains plug.

Destroy the lock on the door. To prevent playing

children from becoming trapped and endangered,

ensure that the door locking mechanism is disabled.

Packaging and old

applicances

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in

an environmentally-responsible manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European

Directive 2002/96/EC concerning used electrical and

electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic

equipment - WEEE).

Protection of the environment / hints and

tips

Your washing machine uses water, energy and

detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the

environment and reducing your household costs. See

page 30 for consumption values of your appliance.

Hints and tips Using your washing machine in an efficient and

environmentally friendly manner:

■Do not exceed maximum load.

With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust

reduces the water and energy consumption.

■Where possibe, select the "Cottons 60°C"with

additional function "Intensive È" programme

instead of "Cottons 90°C T + Prewash ". The

longer washing time in this 60°C programme

means that the cleaning effects are comparable

with those of a 90°C programme, although the

power consumption is considerably lower.

■Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled

washing.

■Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,

amount of laundry and water hardness, and

observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
