Environmental protection Page GB-39Key to table on previous page:1) A +++ = very low energy demand to D = veryhigh energy demand2) Based on 220 standard wash cycles for60 °C and 40 °C cotton cycles with full andpartial loads as well as consumption of opera-ting modes with lower power consumption.The actual energy consumption depends onthe type of usage of the appliance.3) Based on 220 standard wash cycles for60 °C and 40 °C cotton cycles with full andpartial loads. The actual water consumptiondepends on the type of usage of the appli-ance.4) A = very good spin performance to G = verybad spin performance5) These cycles are suitable for cleaning nor-mal dirty cotton laundry and are the most ef-ficient with regards to the combined energyand water consumption.6) Determined according to Regulation (EU)No. 1061/ 2010. The applied measurementmethods comply with Standard EN 60456.7) Determined according to Regulation (EU)No. 1061/ 2010. The applied measurementmethods comply with Standard EN 60704-2-4.The actual water temperature can differ to thespecified cycle temperature.Notice: The above mentioned values aremeasured according to standards underprecisely defined operating conditions. Theresults can differ greatly depending on theamount and dirtiness of laundry, the waterhardness and amount of detergent, etc.The user manual is based on the standardsand regulations in force in the EuropeanUnion.Environmental protectionDisposing of old electricaldevices in an environmentally-friendly mannerElectrical appliances contain harm-ful substances as well as valuableresources.Every consumer is therefore re-quired by law to dispose of old electrical ap-pliances at an authorised collection or returnpoint. They will thus be made available forenvironmentally-sound, resource-saving re-cycling.You can dispose of old electrical appliancesfree of charge at your local recycling centre.Please contact your dealer directly for moreinformation about this topic.PackagingOur packaging is made of environ-mentally-friendly, recyclable materi-als:– Outer packaging made of cardboard– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-freepolystyrene (PS)– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)– Saving energy also protects against exces-sive global warming. Your new applianceuses little energy due to its modern tech-nology.If you would like to dispose of the packaging,please dispose of it in an environmentallyfriendly way.
