Before first starting up, all parts of the transport safety equipment 
must be removed. The machine may otherwise be damaged.

Before starting up for the first time, ensure that the nominal voltage 
and type of current specified on the machine type plate match the 
nominal voltage and type of current at the installation site. The elec-
trical fuses required can also be found on the type plate.

Always connect the plug into a protection contact socket which has 
been installed as specified.

With permanent connections: A permanent connection may only be 
established by an authorised specialist electrician.

Do not install machine in rooms at risk of frost.

Ensure that the door of the machine cannot be blocked by interior 
doors of the house or the doors of other appliances.

Do not install on carpets with high piles. Air circulation will be hin-
dered at the ventilation slots.

Ensure that the machine is not placed on its mains cable.

Install the machine horizontally.
