only serve the dishwasher and must be suitable for its rated electrical characteristics. The
electrical protection devices must undergo a functional test before the dishwasher is put into
operation. If the dishwasher is connected to the electrical mains by means of a plug, it must be of
the same type as the power socket, suitable for the appliance's rated electrical characteristics and
compliant with the relevant national regulations. The power plug must be easily accessible after
the appliance has been installed.
