Disposing of packaging and old machine
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit,
though we always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous
for children, who could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep
all packaging well away from children.
All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and
reusable.
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is
untreated.
The plastics are marked as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (essentially CFC-Free).
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clamps.
Give the packaging for reuse to your local recycling centre. Your
municipal or local authority will give you its address.
Disposing of your old machine
When your machine finally reaches the end of its life and you
withdraw it from service, you should render it unserviceable before
having it disposed of.
Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your machine (and
suffocate) or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore pull out the
main plug and detach and discard the electrical supply lead.
Disable the door lock so that the door no longer closes.
Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling: all plastic parts in your
machine are marked with internationally standardised abbreviations
(e.g. <PS> for polystyrene). When your machine is disposed of, this en-
ables plastic waste to be sorted into individual types for environmen-
tally conscious recycling.
Take your decommissioned machine to your local recycling centre or
dealer, who will take it back from you for a small handling charge.
