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-

This ensures the parts
of the appliance will
remain clean and hy-
gienic.

Action

Benefit

trol panel regularly us-
ing a damp cloth and
washing-up liquid.
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.bosch-home.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 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.
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.
