Electrical Connection

The dishwasher must be installed by a qualified electrician,
in accordance with all relevant British Standards/Codes of
Practice (in particular BS 7671), or with the relevant national
and local regulations.
WARNING: THIS DISHWASHER MUST BE EARTHED

All external wiring must comply with the IEE Regulations
for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connection to the
electrical supply can be made with either a plug and socket
or be permanently wired via a double pole switch. The
dishwasher is supplied with a 3-core cable.
Should the plug not fit the socket in your home, it should be
removed and replaced with a suitable plug.
Note: If the plug that is fitted is not suitable, it must be cut off
and disposed of properly. To avoid the risk of electrocution,
the plug must not be left where children might find it and
plug it into a supply socket.
Three pin plugs to BS 1363 with a capacity of not less than
13 A must be used and fitted with a 13 amp fuse 'ASTA'
approved to BS 1362.
After replacing the fuse the cover must be refitted. If the
cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover has been obtained from your supplier. The colour of the
correct fuse carrier is that of the coloured insert in the base of
the fuse recess, or stated elsewhere on the plug. Always state
this colour when ordering a replacement fuse carrier.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow: EARTH
Blue:
Brown:
CAUTION

The dishwasher plug must be accessible even when
the dishwasher is installed as a built-in unit so that
maintenance can be carried out safely.
Care for the external cable
Hold the plug, not the electrical cable, when
unplugging the dishwasher.
Make sure that the dishwasher does not trap the electric
cable.
Do not step on the cable.
Avoid damage to the electric cable when moving the
dishwasher.
Damaged electrical cable
If the electrical cable is damaged or worn, switch off the
dishwasher and consult an authorized agent for replacement.

General

Measures must be taken to ensure that the units that are
subsequently re-sited as freestanding dishwashers cannot
topple over. This can be achieved by bolting the dishwasher
to the wall or fitting it under a continuous work surface, that
is screwed to the adjacent cupboards.

In your e-mail, please provide the model name and serial
number (20 digits) which can be found on the side of the
dishwasher door.
