Notes on comparison tests 
You will find details of the conditions for the comparison tests on the additional ”Notes on comparison tests” sheet. The consumption values for the relevant programmes are given in the introduction. General
Built-under and integrated appliances which are subsequently installed as free-standing appliances must be secured to prevent them from falling 
over, e.g. by screwing them to the wall or by installing them under a continuous worktop which is screwed to the adjoining units.
For Swiss version only: The appliance can be installed without 
difficulty between wooden and plastic walls in a kitchen range. If the appliance is not connected via a plug, the installation side must feature an all-pole disconnector with a contact gap of at least 3 mm in order to satisfy the relevant safety regulations.

38 Installation
The dishwasher must be connected by a qualified technician to ensure correct 
operation. The specifications for supply, drainage and connected load must fulfil the required criteria as stated in the following paragraphs or in the installation instructions. Install the appliance in the following sequence: – Check the delivery – Install the appliance – Connect the waste water – Connect the fresh water– Connect the power supply Delivery 
Your dishwasher was checked at the factory to ensure that it was in perfect 
working order. This may have left some 
small water stains in the dishwasher. These will disappear after the first rinse cycle. Installation The required installation dimensions can be found in the installation instructions. Using the height-adjustable feet, adjust the appliance until it is level. Ensure that the 
appliance is standing firmly. 
Waste water connection 
See the installation instructions for the required connection steps. If required, attach a siphon with drainage spigot. Using the enclosed parts, connect the waste water hose to the drainage spigot of the siphon. Ensure that the drainage hose is not kinked, crushed or twisted (ensure that there is no sealing cover which prevents the waster water from flowing away!). Fresh water connection Using the enclosed parts, connect the fresh water connection to the tap according to the installation instructions. Ensure that the fresh water connection is not kinked, crushed or twisted. When replacing the appliance, always connect a new water supply hose to the 
water supply. The old supply hose must not be re-used. 
Water pressure: Minimum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) – maximum 1 MPa (10 bar). 
If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve. Flow rate:Minimum of 10 litres per minute. 
Water temperature: 
We recommend that you use cold water. 
If you do use hot water, the temperature should not exceed 60 
°C.
Electrical  connection 
Connect the appliance only to 230 V alternating current via a correctly installed 
socket with protective conductor. See rating plate for required fusing 
32 . 
The socket must be attached near the dishwasher and be freely accessible. The connection may be modified by an 
electrician only. Use only a residual-current-operated circuit-breaker which features the 
symbol. Only this circuit breaker guarantees compliance with the currently valid regulations.
