Antifreeze Protection; Longer Periods Without Use - Silvercrest SGW 860 A1 Operating Instructions Manual

 To remove stains or soiling from the interior surfaces, use water and a cloth dampened
with a little vinegar or detergent suitable for a dishwasher.

12. Antifreeze protection

When operating in cold environments, e.g. during winter months, pay attention to the fol-
lowing information after each wash cycle to prevent freezing:
 Pull the mains plug (20) out of the mains socket.
 Turn off the water supply, if necessary, and disconnect the water hose from the water
inlet valve (21).
 Empty the water tank as described under "1 1.1. Draining water manually" on page
82.
 Allow the water to drain out of the hose and valve (e.g. into a bucket).
 Reconnect the hose to the water inlet valve (21).
 Remove the filter system (5) on the base of the appliance and collect the remaining
water from the appliance base using a rag or sponge.
Contact customer services or a similarly qualified person if the appliance does
not function due to freezing.

13. 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 (20) out of the mains socket.
 Turn off the water supply before cleaning or empty the water tank (see "1 1.1. Draining
water manually" on page 82).
 Leave the appliance door open slightly to prevent potential odours from forming and
preserve the seal.
