The dishwasher meets the requirements set out
by the regulations in force concerning safety and
electrical equipment.
Any technical checks should be conducted
exclusively by a trained and authorised technician:
Repairs carried out by unaithorised persons will
invalidate the guarantee, as well as posing a
potential hazard to the user.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
damage to persons or property resulting from failure
to observe the above precautions, from tampering
with even a single component or from the use of
non-original spare parts.
Electrical Connection
Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket,
make sure that:
• the socket is earthed and complies with current
regulations;
• the socket can withstand the maximum load of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate located on the inside of the door (
see
Description of the appliance);
• the power supply voltage falls within the values
indicated on the data plate on the inside of the
door;
• the socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If this is not the case, ask an
authorised technician to replace the plug (
see
Assistance); do not use extension cables or
multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the
power supply cable and the electrical socket should
be easily accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical
Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential
hazards. (See Assistance)
This appliance must be earthed.
Fuses:your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a
13A fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, only those
rated at 13A and ASTA approved to BS1362 should
be used. If you lose the fuse cover, a replacement
may be obtained from your local authorised Service
Centre or Electrical company. Correct replacement is
identified by colour coding or the marking on base
of plug.
DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse cover is
fitted.
Changing the Plug
Cut off and dispose of the supplied plug if it
does not fit your socket.
To avoid a shock hazard DO NOT insert the
discarded plug into a socket anywhere else.
