“An incorrect power supply may 

void your warranty.”

Check that your domestic electrical 
installation can take the maximum load 
required (2.0 kW), also taking into 
account any other appliances in use.

The manufacturer declines any 
responsibility for damage or injury 
through failure to comply with the above 
safety precaution. Should the appliance 
power supply cable need to be 
replaced, this should be carried out by 
our Service Centre.

When the appliance is installed the 
power supply cable must be easily 
accessible. If this appliance is supplied 
from a cord extension set or electrical 
portable outlet device, the cord 
extension set or electrical portable 
device must be positioned so that it is 
not subject to splashing or ingress of 
moisture.

Connect the machine to an earthed 

socket. 

Important!

For the correct functioning of the 

machine the drain hose must remain
