Follow the tips on appliance care
to make sure your appliance func-
tions properly at all times.
Action
Benefit
Regularly wipe
the door seals,
the front of the
dishwasher and
the control
panel using a
damp cloth and
dishwashing
liquid.
This ensures
the parts of the
appliance will
remain clean
and hygienic.
If the appliance
is not going to
be used for a
while, leave the
door slightly
ajar.
This will pre-
vent unpleas-
ant odors.
15.4 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
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.
