4.1 Installation

The AEG FSE73527P is an integrated model and requires professional installation into your kitchen cabinetry. This includes connecting the water inlet hose to a cold water supply, the drain hose to a suitable waste pipe, and the electrical connection to a properly earthed power outlet. Refer to the separate installation template and instructions provided with the appliance for detailed steps. Ensure all connections are secure and free from leaks before first use.

4.2 First Use
