1.Packaging
•
The packaging is 100% recyclable and is marked
with the recycling symbol
. Adhere to
current local regulations when disposing of
packaging material.
2.Disposing of packaging and old
appliances
•
The washing machine is built from reusable
materials. The washing machine must be
disposed of in compliance with current local
waste disposal regulations.
•
Before scrapping, pull out the mains plug and
cut off the power cable so that the washing
machine becomes unusable.
•
The detergent residues should also be removed
from the detergent dispenser, the drum, the
water drain hose and pump before the washing
machine is scrapped. The detergent residues
might otherwise get into the groundwater
