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

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.
