aging materials have been selected for aspects of environmental friendliness and
disposal, and they are therefore recyclable.
Returning the packaging to the material cycle conserves raw materials and
reduces the amount of waste that is generated. Dispose of packaging materials
that are no longer needed in accordance with applicable local regulations.

sumption and reduce the service life of the appliance.
Descale the appliance as soon as scale deposits become apparent, using the
table below as an orientation:
Water hardness Descaling after...
