Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states

that household appliances should not be disposed of

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted

appliances should be collected separately in order to

optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials

inside the machine, while preventing potential damage

to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out

dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of

their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

 Forfurtherinformationrelatingtothecorrectdisposalof

household appliances, owners may contact the relevant

public authority or the local appliance dealer.

Saving energy and respecting the

environment

Saving water and energy

• Onlybeginawashcyclewhenthedishwasherisfull.While

waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant

odours using the Soak cycle

(see Wash cycles).

• Selectawashcyclewhichissuitedtothetypeofcrockery

and to the soil level of the crockery using the

Table of wash

cycles:

 - For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco

wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water

consumption levels.

- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load

option*

(see Start-up and use).

• Ifyourelectricitysupplycontractgivesdetailsofelectricity

saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods

when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start* button

(see Start-up and use)

helps you organise the wash cycles

accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents

containing enzymes

• Westronglyrecommendthatyouusedetergentsthatdo

not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are

harmful to the environment.

• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at

temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents

containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-

temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same

results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

• Toavoidwastingdetergent,usetheproductinappropriate

quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations,

the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity

of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable,

detergents contain substances which may alter the

balance of nature.
