Action

Benefit

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.

Tip: 

You can get our tested and ap-

proved Dishwasher Care and Ma-
chine Cleaner for Dishwashers online
at https://www.siemens-home.bsh-
group.com/store
 or from customer
service.
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 deposits 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.
Run Machine Care without tableware
if the indicator for Machine Care
lights up on the control panel or if ad-
vised to do so by the display. The in-
dicator will go out after you have run
Machine Care. If your appliance does
not have a reminder function, we re-
commend performing Machine Care
every 2 months.

Running Machine Care

Run the Machine Care programme 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 programme
without any tableware in the dish-
washer.

¡

Only use machine care products
and machine cleaners specially
designed for dishwashers.

¡

Make sure that there are no alu-
minium parts, e.g. extractor hood
grease filters or aluminium pans, in
the interior of the appliance.

¡

If you have not run Machine Care
after 3 washing cycles, the indic-
ator for Machine Care will go out
automatically.

¡

For optimum cleaning perform-
ance, ensure the correct place-
ment of cleaners.

¡

Follow the safety instructions given
on the packagings of the machine
care products and machine clean-
ers.
