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.
