Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
If you connect the water drain hose to a trap
spigot under the sink, remove the plastic
membrane. If you do not remove the mem-
brane, remaining food can cause a blockage
in the drain hose spigot
The appliance has a security feature to
prevent dirty water going back into the
appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a
'non-return valve', this valve can cause
the appliance to drain incorrectly. Re-
move the non-return valve.
Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not crushed or
kinked under or behind the appliance.
Once connected the inlet hose to the
water tap, turn the tap on and check that
there are no leaks.
Electrical connection
Warning! Safety standards require the
appliance to be earthed.
Prior to using the appliance for the first
time, ensure that the rated voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate match
that of the supply where the appliance is
to be installed.
The fuse rating is also to be found on the
rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug onto a cor-
rectly installed approved socket.
Do not use multi-ways plugs, connec-
tors and extension cables. This can con-
stitute a fire hazard through overheating.
If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced. If the mains ca-
ble has to be replaced, contact your lo-
cal Customer Care centre.
The mains plug must be accessible after
the appliance has been installed.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on
the cable. Always pull the plug.
Test the appliance. Run a quick washing
program and ensure that the appliance
fills with water, washes and drains with
no leaks.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for
failure to observe the above safety pre-
cautions.
Environment concerns
The packaging materials are environmentally
friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings, e.g.

materials in the applicable container at the
community waste disposal facilities.
Warning! To discard the appliance,
follow the procedure:
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the mains cable and mains
plug and discard them.
