internal components and cause leak-
ages or malfunctions.

• Do not install and connect a dam-

aged appliance.

• Make sure to remove all packaging

and transport bolts.

• Make sure that the mains plug is dis-

connected from the mains socket
during installation.

• Only a qualified person must do the

electrical installation, the plumbing
and the installation of the appliance.
This to prevent the risks of structural
damage or injury.

• Do not install or use the appliance

where the temperature is less than 0
°C.

• When you install the appliance on a

carpet floor, make sure that there is
air circulation between the appliance
and the carpet. Adjust the feet to
have the necessary space between
the appliance and the carpet.

Water connection

• Do not connect the appliance with

old hoses already used. Only use new
hoses.

• Make sure not to cause damage to

the water hoses.

• Do not connect the appliance to new

pipes or pipes not used for a long
time. Let the water flow for some mi-
nutes, then connect the inlet hose.

• The first time you use the appliance,

make sure that the water hoses and
the couplings do not have leakages.

Electrical connection

• Make sure that the appliance is

earthed.

• Make sure that the electrical informa-

tion on the rating plate agrees with
the power supply.

• Always use a correctly installed

shockproof socket.

• Do not use multiple plugs and exten-

sion cables. There is a risk of fire.

• Do not replace or change the mains

cable. Contact the service centre.

• Make sure not to cause damage to

the mains plug and cable.

• Connect the mains plug to the mains

socket only at the end of the installa-
tion. Make sure that there is access
to the mains plug after the installa-
tion.

• Do not pull the mains cable to dis-

connect the appliance. Always pull
the mains plug.

DISCARD THE APPLIANCE

1.

Disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.

2.

Cut off the mains cable and discard
it.

3.

Discard the door catch. This pre-
vents children or pets to be closed
in the appliance. There is a risk of
suffocation (only for front-loading
appliances).
