PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Each individual appliance is checked at the
factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking
it, you should check carefully that it has not
been damaged during transport.
Check whether there is any visible damage
(e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the
door closes properly, and if the hinges are in
order.
If the appliance appears to have been
damaged, contact the shop where you
bought it, and do not use it until it has been
checked by an authorised specialist.
Before use, check that you have removed all
packaging inside and out.
