Instructions for installing your dishwasher
Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no
circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be
dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply through a suitable
switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is
installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (Refer to
the “
” section on page
.)
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire
risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which
are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it
should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as
heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed and any
adjustment has been made to the door springs.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage
and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete
between it and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical
system in the house should be checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding
system (for example electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an
extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (for example
danger of overheating).
This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk
assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
