Installation and connection instructions
1 Safety information for the installation
• Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water
may run out.
• Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in
transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is dam
aged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.
• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose are
damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are damaged such
that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
• Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.
• Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage
and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the ap
pliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.
• Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This
could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.
• The dishwasher’s cable must only be replaced by the Customer Care Depart
ment or a registered electrician.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by the Customer
Care Department.
Installing the dishwasher
• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it
is stable and level in all directions.
• To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the ap
pliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screw
driver.
• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to
move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed
when the dishwasher is in position.
Freestanding appliances
1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heatinsulating, non
flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker)
must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm).
