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.

helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents

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.

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.
