Self-cleaning of the appliance
The appliance performs self-cleaning
at regular intervals to ensure it re-
mains in perfect technical condition
and to remove deposits.
The programme sequence is auto-
matically adjusted for self-cleaning.
This increases the energy consump-
tion and the water consumption and
the run time is extended. This is com-
pletely taken into account in the de-
claration values.
Cleaning products
Only use suitable cleaning products
to clean your appliance.

Tips on appliance care
Follow the tips on appliance care to
make sure your appliance functions
properly at all times.
Action
Benefit
Wipe the door seals,
the front of the dish-
washer and the con-
trol panel regularly us-
ing a damp cloth and
washing-up liquid.
This ensures the parts
of the appliance will
remain clean and hy-
gienic.
If the appliance is not
going to be used for a
while, leave the door
slightly ajar.
This will prevent un-
pleasant odours.
Machine Care
Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food
and limescale, can cause your appli-
ance to malfunction. To avoid such
faults and reduce odours, we recom-
mend cleaning your appliance at reg-
ular intervals.
Machine Care combined with ma-
chine care products and machine
cleaners is the right programme for
the care of your appliance.

Machine Care is a programme which
removes various deposits in one
washing cycle. Cleaning takes place
in two phases:
Phase
Removal of
Detergent
Placement
1
Grease and limescale
Liquid machine care product
or machine descaler in
powder form.
Appliance interior, e.g. bottle
hung in the cutlery basket or
powder in the interior.
2
Food remnants and de-
posits
Machine cleaner
Detergent dispenser
To ensure optimum cleaning perform-
ance, the programme doses the de-
tergents independently of each an-
other during the relevant cleaning
phase. Correct placement of the de-
tergents is necessary here.
