Disposal
Disposing of the packaging aterial: observe local
regulations, so the packaging can be re-used.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equip ent (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances ust not be
disposed of in the nor al unsorted unicipal waste
strea . Old appliances ust be collected separately
in order to opti ise the recovery and recycling of
the aterials they contain and reduce the i pact on
hu an health and the environ ent.
The crossed out "wheeled bin" sy bol on the
product re inds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it ust be separately
collected.
Consu ers should contact their local authority or
retailer for infor ation concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
Disposing of an old washing achine:
before scrapping your appliance, cut the power
supply cable and re ove the appliance door.
Saving energy and respecting the
environment
Environmentally-friendly technology
If you only see a little water through your appliance
door, this is because thanks to the latest technology,
your washing achine only needs less than half the
a ount of water to get the best results: an objective
reached to respect the environ ent.
Saving on detergent, water,
energy and time
To avoid wasting resources, the washing achine
should be used with a full load. A full load instead
of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on
energy.
The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on
extre ely soiled gar ents. Avoiding it will save on
detergent, ti e, water and between 5 and 15%
energy.
Treating stains with a stain re over or leaving
the to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash the at high te peratures. A
progra e at 60°C instead of 90°C or one at
40°C instead of 60°C will save up to 50% on
energy.
Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled the gar ents
are and the a ount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the environ ent: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
environ ent. In addition, avoid using fabric
softener as uch as possible.
If you use your washing achine fro late in the
afternoon until the early hours of the orning, you
will help reduce the electricity board's peak load.
The Delay Ti er option (see page 7) helps to
organise your wash cycles accordingly.
If your laundry has to be dried in a tu ble dryer,
select a high spin speed. Having the least water
possible in your laundry will save you ti e and
energy in the drying process.
