BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER/ CONNECTIONS

1.Removing the packaging and controls:

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.

•This dishwasher has been factory tested to ensure it functions correctly.

Such testing may leave slight water marks that will disappear with the first wash.

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.

Do not use the dishwasher if it has been damaged in transit. Consult your local retailer or our AfterSales Service.

3.Water inlet and drain:

•Observe any special regulations issued by your local Water Board.
