Installation instructions
Electrical connection
This machine should be connected to a suitable earthed mains
socket. If there is no earthed mains socket available, have a
competent electrician install an appropriate earthed mains
socket for the appliance. Panasonic New Zealand Limited
does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage if
the machine is used on a non-earthed system.
The power supply outlet should be rated at 10 A (minimum).
Your machine is set according to 220-240 V. The machine
should not be plugged in during positioning.
Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine.
Running in low voltage will cause a decline in washing quality.
The machine’s electrical cable should be replaced by a
Panasonic Authorised Service Centre or an authorised
electrician only. Failure to do so may lead to accidents.
In order not to cause an electric shock, do not unplug when
your hands are wet.
When disconnecting your machine from the mains supply,
always pull from the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Prior to using the machine for the first time
• Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications
match the values indicated by the installation instructions for
the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Set the water softener.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
