Electrical safety and cord handling:
• Before connecting and turning on the appliance, ensure the electrical voltage and circuit
frequency corresponds to those indicated on the appliance rating label.
• WARNING! Ensure the outlet is properly earthed to the ground. If unsure, consult a
qualified electrician or a service representative. Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of an electric shock if the appliance malfunctions.
• WARNING! Do not modify the cord and plug provided with the appliance; if it does not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• WARNING! If the supply cord is damaged, do not use the appliance. A damaged cord must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent. Contact the after sales support line.
• Do not use an adaptor; do not use an extension cord. We recommend you connect the
appliance to a separate circuit serving only this appliance.
• Do not kink or damage the power cord. Position it out of the way so no one steps on or places
anything on the cord or against it.
• Make sure the appliance is switched off before you plug it into the power supply.
• Always turn the power off at the power point before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by
grasping the plug, do not pull on the cord.
• CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the appliance, cord or plug to
rain, moisture or any other liquid.
• Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety switch), we
recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA to
provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. See your electrician for
professional advice.
INSTALLATION
• DANGER! Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system
that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive!
If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period of time, before using the dishwasher
turn on all hot-water taps and let the water flow from each of them for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• WARNING! Do not install the dishwasher yourself. Have it installed by an accredited
plumber or installer only.
• WARNING! Any electrical work required for the installation of this dishwasher should be
carried out by a qualified electrician.
• During installation, the power supply cord must not be excessively or dangerously bent or
flattened.
• When removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartments.
