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.
