4 PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR USE
4.1 Removing the packaging and inspecting
After removing the packaging (straps, cardboard, wooden base and PVC cover), check the condition of the
appliance; the filling and drain hoses, power cable, and metal parts must all be securely fastened.
4.2 Disposing of the packaging material
The packaging components (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, etc.) must not be left within reach of
children and pets since they are potentially dangerous. All packaging materials used are environment-friendly.
They can be kept without constituting any hazard, or may be disposed of at a specialist waste disposal centre.
Plastic components suitable for recycling are marked as follows: PE (polyethylene): external packaging film, bag
containing the instructions, protective bags. PP (polypropylene): straps. PS (expanded polystyrene): protective
corners, cover. Wooden and cardboard components can be disposed of in accordance with applicable
regulations.
4.3 Installing the appliance
The dishwasher must be installed by an qualified technician. Do not install a dishwasher which has been
damaged during transport. Do not install the dishwasher near to sources of heat (e.g. gas burners, stoves,
fireplaces, etc.) since they may damage it. When installing the dishwasher in a compartment adjacent to one or
more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance’s
manufacturer (clearances, installation procedures, etc.). If the dishwasher is installed in a raised position, make
sure that the carcase and dishwasher are fixed correctly and do not constitute a hazard. Do not install the
dishwasher in areas subject to freezing temperatures or at risk of explosion. Use only furniture units for
professional use in the vicinity of the dishwasher. Any other types of furniture may be damaged. Immediately
after installation, test the appliance as described later in this manual. If the appliance does not operate,
disconnect it from the mains and contact your local service centre. Never attempt to repair the appliance
yourself.
4.4 Preliminary settings and adjustments
The electrical protection system must undergo a functional test before the appliance is put into operation. The
appliance must be installed and/or inspected by qualified staff, who will start it up for the first time and provide
the relevant operating instructions.
Opening the door
The door opening procedure is given here to facilitate access to the interior of the machine.
The remaining controls are covered in the following sections.
The machine is equipped with an automatic door lock.
Do not force the door open, rather proceed as follows:
Connect the machine to the electricity supply.
Hold the button marked On/Off down for 2 seconds to turn the machine on.
Press the Open door button: the machine will beep when the signal is received; release the button and
the door will open automatically a moment later.
