BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

1.Removing the packaging and check

After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician or your local retailer.

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

2. Water and electrical connections

•All water and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions (refer to the enclosed installation booklet) and current local safety regulations.

The appliance must only be used in the household for the prescribed uses.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

1.Packing

The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol .

2.Energy and water saving tips

•Do not rinse crockery under running water.

•Always fully load the dishwasher before switching on or set the wash programme to half load (if available) if one rack only is loaded.

•If ecological energy sources are available, such as 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 chapter “Connections” in these user instructions.

3.Disposing of packaging and old machine

The appliance is built from reusable materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal laws.

Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the appliance cannot be connected to the mains.
