Caution!
Material damage/damage to the
appliance
If the appliance overheats, it may not be
able to operate properly, or this may
result in material damage or damage to
the appliance.
Make sure that the appliance's air inlet
is never obstructed when the appliance
is in operation, and that the area around
the appliance is adequately ventilated.
Caution!
Risk of material damage and damage
to the appliance
The appliance underwent a function test
before leaving the factory and therefore
may contain residual water. This
residual water may leak out if the
appliance is tilted at an angle greater
than 40°.
Install the appliance as follows:
1.
Place the appliance on a clean,
even, solid surface.
2.
Check that the appliance is level
using a spirit level.
3.
If necessary, turn the appliance feet
to make sure it is level.
You can now connect the appliance.
Notes
■
All appliance feet must stand firmly
on the ground.
■
If appliances are not aligned
correctly, this may result in noises,
vibrations, uneven drum operation
and/or to residual water leaking out
of the appliance.
Connecting the appliance
:
Warning
Risk of electric shock/fire/material
damage/damage to the appliance!
If the appliance is not installed properly,
this may lead to a dangerous situation.
Ensure the following:
■
The mains voltage on your power
socket must match the rated voltage
specified on the appliance
(identification plate). The connected
loads and the required fuse
protection are specified on the
identification plate.
■
The appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching
device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is
regularly switched on and off by a
utility.
■
The mains plug and the protective
contact socket must match and the
earthing system must be correctly
installed.
■
The installation must have an
adequate cross section.
■
The mains plug must be freely
accessible at all times. If this is not
possible, in order to comply with the
relevant safety regulations, a switch
(all pole disconnection) must be built
into the permanent installation in
accordance with electrical
installation regulations.
■
If using a residual current circuit
breaker, only use one that bears the
following mark:
z
. The presence of
this mark is the only way to be sure
that it fulfils all the applicable
regulations.
