pressure 0.05 - 1.0 MPa. The appliance must be
placed against the wall or built into furniture to limit
the access to its rearside. For dishwashers having
ventilation openings in the base, the openings must
not be obstructed by a carpet.

electrical connections, and repairs must be carried
out by a qualifi ed technician. Do not repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifi cally stated

25°C. For all other models the maximum allowed
water temperature is 60°C. Do not cut hoses and, in
the case of appliances fi tted with a waterstop system,
do not immerse the plastic casing containing the inlet
hose in water. If hoses are not long enough, contact
your local dealer. Make sure the inlet and drain hoses
are kink-free and are not crushed. Before using the
appliance for the fi rst time, check the water inlet and
drain hose for leaks. Make sure that the four feet are
stable and resting on the fl oor, adjusting them as
required, and check that the dishwasher is perfectly
levelled using a spirit level.
