Dispose of packaging in an
environmentally-responsible manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2012/19/EU
concerning used electrical and
electronic appliances (waste electrical

to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.

Sorting laundry

Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
