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.

• If the hose length is not sufficient, please contact
your local dealer or our After-Sales Service.

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