Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling: all plastic parts in your machine are
marked with internationally standardised abbreviations (e.g. <PS> for polystyrene).
When your machine is disposed of, this enables plastic waste to be sorted into
individual types for environmentally conscious recycling.
Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are
facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.
Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your machine
(and suffocate) or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore pull out
the main plug and detach and discard the electrical supply lead.
Disable the door lock so that the door no longer closes.

Disposing of packaging and old machines
Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous
for children and can cause suffocation. You should therefore keep all
packaging well away from children.
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always
confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable.
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is untreated.
The plastics are marked as follows:
>PE<
for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.
>PS<
for polystyrene, e.g. padding (essentially CFC-Free).
>POM<
for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clamps.
Give the packaging for reuse to your local recycling centre. Your municipal or local
authority will give you its address.
Disposing of your old machine
When your machine finally reaches the end of its life and you withdraw it from
service, you should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.
