Electrical connections

Afterthe appliance has been transported,carefully place it

verticallyandwaitat least 3 hoursbeforeconnectingittothe

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
