3.Ensuretheapplianceisawayfromanysourcesofheat(direct
sunlight,electricstove,etc.).
Electrical connections
Afterthe appliance has been transported,carefully place it
verticallyandwaitat least 3 hoursbeforeconnectingittothe

240V).
• Thesocket is compatible with the plugof the appliance. If
thesocketisincompatiblewiththeplug,askanauthorised

Start-up and use
Starting the appliance
! Before starting the appliance, follow the installation
instructions (see Installation).
!Beforeconnectingtheappliance,cleanthecompartmentsand
