use inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.

Disposal
• Disposal of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU relating
to Waste 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 re-using and recycling rate of the
materials inside the machine, while preventing
potential damage to the environment and public
health. The crossed-out dustbin symbol is
marked on all products to remind the owners
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 that 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 ensures low energy/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
when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed
Start button * (see Start-up and use) helps you
organise the wash cycles accordingly.
