14. Longer periods without use
WARNING
Risk of explosion!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks
or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE!
If you have not used the dishwasher for an extended pe-
riod of time, open all hot water taps and allow the water
to flow for several minutes before using the dishwasher.
This releases pent up hydrogen gas from the system.
As hydrogen gas can ignite, avoid naked flames during
this time and do not smoke.
Perform a wash cycle without load.
Pull the mains plug (21) out of the mains socket.
Turn off the water supply before cleaning or empty the water tank (see "12.1. Draining
water manually" on page 35).
Leave the appliance door open to prevent potential odours from forming and preserve
the seal.
15. Transporting the appliance
Always transport the appliance vertically, wherever possible. If necessary, it is also possi-
ble to transport the appliance on its back.
