Deposits, e.g. from food remnants
and limescale, can cause your ap-
pliance to malfunction. To avoid
these problems and reduce odors,
we recommend cleaning your ap-
pliance at regular intervals.

Machine Care is a program which
removes various deposits in one
wash cycle. Cleaning takes place
in two phases:
Phase Removal of Cleaner Placement
1 Grease and
limescale
Liquid machine care
product or machine
descaler in powder
form.
Appliance interior,
e.g. bottle hung in
the silverware bas-
ket or powder in the
interior.
2 Food remnants
and deposits
Machine cleaner Detergent dispenser
To ensure optimal cleaning perfor-
mance, the program doses the
cleaners independently of each
another during the relevant clean-
ing phase. Therefore, it's impor-
tant to place the cleaners cor-
rectly.
Run Machine Care without dish-
ware if the indicator for Machine
Care lights up on the control panel
or if advised to do so by the dis-
play. The indicator will go out after
you have run Machine Care. If
your appliance does not have a
reminder function, we recommend
performing Machine Care every
2months.
