Warning and Safety instructions
Technical safety
Before setting up the appliance,
check it for any externally visible
damage. Under no circumstances
should you use a damaged appliance.
A damaged appliance could be
dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be
plugged into the electricity supply
via a suitable switched socket. The
electrical socket must be easily
accessible after the dishwasher is
installed so that it can be disconnected
from the electricity supply at any time.
(See "Electrical connection").
There must be no electrical
sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if
the dishwasher were to be pushed up
against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be
installed under a hob. The high
radiant temperatures which are
sometimes generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher. For the same
reason it should not be installed next to
open fires or other appliances which
give off heat, such as heaters etc.

Do not connect the dishwasher to
the mains supply until it has been
fully installed.
Before connecting the appliance,
check that the connection data on
the data plate (voltage and connected
load) match the mains electricity
supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
The electrical safety of this
appliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between it
and an effective earthing system. It is
most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly
tested and where there is any doubt the
electrical system in the house should
be checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for the consequences of an inadequate
earthing system (e.g. electric shock).
This equipment may only be
installed in mobile installations
such as ships if a risk assessment of
the installation has been carried out by
a suitably qualified engineer.
