Waste Disposal Advice
Packaging from your new machine
Dispose of all packaging materials properly.
Packaging materials are not toys.
Processing and reuse saves raw materials and reduces
waste volumes.
The packaging can be returned to the retailer or supplier.
All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly
and reusable. All card is made of 80 - 100 % recycled
paper.
Wood is not chemically treated. Films are made of poly-
ethylene (PE), banding is made of polypropylene (PP) and
the CFC-free padding is made of polystyrol (PS) foam.
These materials are pure hydrocarbon compounds and
are recyclable.
Old Machines
Worn out machines should be made unusable:
After unplugging the machine or after an electrician has
removed the connection, cut through and remove the
mains cable. Destroy or remove the door lock so that
playing children cannot become locked in and put their
lives at risk.
The old machine contains valuable materials which should
be sent for recycling. Ensure that your old machine is dis-
posed of properly.
Addresses of recycling or collection sites for the disposal
of old machines can be obtained from your local authori-
ty. Please help to ensure environmentally friendly dispo-
sal and recycling.

Environment and Economy Advice
How to save electricity, time and costs
X Your dryer will be most environmentally friendly and
economical if you fill the machine with the maximum
laundry load.
X Do not exceed the maximum stated laundry load (see
programme table, page 43).
X Remove as much water as possible from the laundry
before drying by spinning in a washing machine or spin
dryer. The higher the spin speed, the shorter the drying
time and lower the energy consumption.
X You should also spin easy care laundry.
X Ensure good room ventilation when drying (open a
window or door).
X Clean the filter after every drying cycle.
