Notes on disposal

All packaging materials used are environmentally-friendly and recyclable. Please
help dispose of the packaging via environmentally-friendly means.

Appliances that have reached the end of their useful life are not worthless
rubbish! Valuable materials can be salvaged from an old appliance via scrap
reprocessing.

Note: to ensure safety when disposing of an old

socket, cut the mains power cable and destroy this
together with the plug. To prevent children shutting
themselves in the machine break the door hinges or
the door lock.
