Certification Label

Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always overrides
the information published in any other media, it is important to refer to it to have a safe and
compliant installation. The model and the serial number can also be found on the label.
The certification label is usually located on the side of the insert, towards the front. The faceplate
may need to be removed to see it. Therefore, it is recommended to note the insert serial number
on page 5 of this manual. It will be needed to identify the version of the appliance in the
event replacement parts or technical assistance is required.
