Notes on waste disposal
Old appliances still have some residual value. An environment-friendly method of disposal will ensure
that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.
When an appliance has reached the end of its working life,unplug it from the mains.Cut through the
mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.
Destroy the door locking mechanism. This will ensure that children at play cannot become locked inside
and are not exposed to the risk of suffocation.
Your new appliance was protected by suitable packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials
used for this purpose are environment-friendly and can be recycled. Please make a contribution to
protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.
Do not allow children to play with any parts of the packaging. There is a risk of suffocation by the
cardboard boxes and the plastic wrapping.
Up-to -date information concerning options for disposal can obtained from your retailer or local munici-
pal administration.
General information
Measures must be taken to ensure that built-under and built-in units that are subsequently re-sited
as free-standing appliances cannot topple over. This can be achieved by bolting the dishwasher to
the wall or fitting it under a continuous work surface which is screwed to the adjacent cupboards.
For Switzerland only:
There are no restrictions on installing the appliance between wooden or plastic walls as part of a
fitted kitchen. If the appliance is not plugged into a wall socket, it must be connected to the mains via
a separator for all poles within the domestic wiring system. This device must have a gap of at least
3mm between open contacts, in order to conform with relevant safety regulations.
