ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS

PACKAGING MATERIALS

Recycle the materials with the symbol

.
Put the packaging in applicable con­tainers to recycle it.

ECOLOGICAL HINTS

To help the environment, use less water
and energy, obey these instructions:

• Set a programme without the pre-

wash phase to wash laundry with nor­mal soil.

• Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry.

• If necessary, use a stain remover
when you set a programme with a
low temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of the de­tergent, check the water hardness of
your domestic system

IN THE INTEREST OF THE ENVIRONMENT

• Connect the appliance to the FOUL
system for the drain water. The sew­age works keeps the drain water for
the treatment before to release safely
it into a river. Do not connect this ap­pliance to the surface drain system of
the water because it releases the
drain water directly into a river or
stream without a treatment and this
can cause of pollution. Contact your
local water authority to have more in­formation.

The symbol on the product or on its
packaging indicates that this product
may not be treated as household

handling of this product. For more
detailed information about recycling of
