Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling: all plastic parts in your machine are
marked with internationally standardised abbr
eviations (e.g. <PS> for polystyr
ene).
When your machine is disposed of, this enables plastic waste to be sorted into
individual types for environmentally 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.
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.

Disposing of packaging and old machine
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.
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.
