Disposal
When disposing of pac aging material: obser e local
legislation so that the pac aging may be reused.
The European Directi e 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using the
normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost
of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine,
while pre enting potential damage to the atmosphere and
to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is mar ed on all
products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public
waste collection ser ice, ta en to suitable collection areas
in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation,
they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange
deal for a new equi alent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances
participate in the creation and organisation of systems for
the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.

supply networ companies by using the o en in the hours

Chec the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly
to the door, thus a oiding heat dispersion.
