17.4 Machine Care 

Deposits, e.g. from food remnants and limescale, can

cause your appliance to malfunction. To avoid these prob-

lems and reduce odors, we recommend cleaning your ap-

pliance at regular intervals.

Machine Care combined with machine cleaning products

will provide the right care for your appliance.

Note: 

You can buy our tested and approved Dishwasher

Care and Machine Cleaner for Dishwashers online at

https://www.gaggenau.com/global/store or from customer

service.
Machine Care is a program which removes various de-

posits 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 basket or powder

in the interior.

2

Food remnants and deposits

Machine cleaner

Detergent dispenser

To ensure optimal cleaning performance, the program

doses the cleaners independently of each another during

the relevant cleaning phase. Therefore, it's important to

place the cleaners correctly.

Run Machine Care without dishware if the indicator for

Machine Care lights up on the control panel or if advised

to do so by the display. 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 Ma-

chine 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 dishwasher.

¡

Only use machine care products and machine cleaners

specially designed for dishwashers.

¡

Make sure that there are no aluminum items, e.g. vent

hood grease filters or aluminum pans, in the interior of

the appliance.

¡

If you have not run Machine Care after 3 wash cycles,

the indicator for Machine Care will go out automatically.

¡

For optimal cleaning performance, ensure the correct

placement of cleaners.

Follow the safety instructions given on the packagings

of the machine care products and machine cleaners.
