The precautions and instructions below contain important information and must be read with care.
The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for damage caused by failure to comply with the safety
precautions and instructions.

3.1 Correct installation

 The dishwasher must be installed by an authorised technician.
 When handling and installing the dishwasher, always wear the most suitable personal protection
equipment (PPE) for the task in hand.
 Do not install a dishwasher which has been damaged during transport. If in doubt, consult your
dealer.
 If the power supply cable is damaged, do not run the dishwasher.
 Do not install the dishwasher in areas subject to freezing temperatures or in atmospheres with
explosion risk (ATEX).
 Any accessories may only be installed on the appliance if authorised by the manufacturer.
 Do not install the dishwasher next to appliances which irradiate strong heat (e.g. gas burners, stoves,
etc.) since they could cause damage.
 If the dishwasher is installed above the ground, make sure that the stand and dishwasher are secured
properly and do not constitute a hazard.
 Electrical safety is only ensured if the dishwasher is connected to an earth conductor compliant with
the relevant electrical regulations. If in doubt, have the system inspected by a qualified electrician.
 A circuit breaker and overcurrent protection device (magnetothermal switch or fuses) must be
installed in an easily accessible position on the dishwasher's power supply line. This device must only
serve the dishwasher and must be suitable for its rated electrical characteristics.
 Do not connect the dishwasher to the electrical mains by means of adapters or extensions, since
they do not guarantee the safety required.
 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 on electrical systems. The power plug must be easily accessible
after the appliance has been installed.
 Only use new hoses for connection to the water supply. Old hoses or hoses salvaged from previous
installations must not be used.
 The drain connection must be made in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
Substandard connections may cause flowback and in some cases pollution.
