16.4 Machine Care
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 combined with ma-
chine cleaning products will pro-
vide the right care for your appli-
ance.

Machine Care is a program which
removes various deposits in one
wash cycle. Cleaning takes place
in two phases:
Phase

descaler in powder

Appliance interior,
e.g. bottle hung in
the silverware bas-

and deposits

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.
Run Machine Care
Run the Machine Care program if
the indicator for Machine Care
lights up on the control panel or if
advised to do so by the display.
Notes
¡
Run the Machine Care program
without any dishes in the dish-
washer.
¡
Only use machine care prod-
ucts and machine cleaners
specially designed for dish-
washers.
