3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your dishwasher.

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the dishwasher from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.

3.2 Placement

Place the dishwasher on a stable, level surface. Ensure there is sufficient space for ventilation and access for maintenance.

3.3 Electrical Connection

The appliance can operate on either 4.9 kW (400 Volt) or 3.4 kW (230 Volt). Ensure the electrical supply matches the appliance's requirements and is installed by a certified electrician. The appliance must be properly grounded.
