local retailer.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags,
polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.

All water and electrical connections must be
carried out by a qualified technician in compliance
with the manufacturer's instructions (refer to the

water discharges correctly (if necessary, remove
the wire gauze from the sink siphon).

water connections are made correctly, the waterstop system safeguards your home against damage
caused by flooding.

solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised
heating systems, the appliance may be connected to
the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature
of 60° C. Make sure the water inlet hose is of the
correct type. Refer to the “Connections” chapter in
these user instructions.
