Disposal
Dispose of the packaging! Dispose of the packaging material of your washing machine correctly. All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger or burnt in the refuse incinerator. The plastic parts can be reused: � The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethylene (marking >PE<). � The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene (marking >PS<). The boxes are made from recycled paper and should be returned to the old paper collection. Dispose of your old washing machine! When you eventually stop using your washing machine please bring it to the nearest recycling centre or to your dealer who will take it back for a small fee.

Environmental tips
� For normally soiled washing you do not need a prewash. In this way you can save washing powder, water and time (and not pollute the environment!). � The washing machine works particularly economically if you exploit the maximum loads. � For small quantities of washing use half to two thirds of the recommended washing powder quantity. � By suitable pretreatment stains and a certain amount of dirt can be removed. Then you can wash at a low temperature. � Wash slightly soiled to normally soiled cottons with the energy saving program. � Often you do not need a fabric softener. Just try it! If you use a washing machine your washing will become soft and fluffy without softener. � For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see "Washing powder and conditioners") you should use a water softener. The washing powder can then always be measured as for hardness area I (= soft).
