make sure your appliance functions
properly at all times.
Action

Wipe the door
seals, the front of
the dishwasher

This ensures the
parts of the appli-

clean and hy-

Action
Benefit
using a damp
cloth and wash-
ing-up liquid.
If the appliance
is not going to
be used for a
while, leave the
door slightly ajar.
This will prevent
unpleasant
odours.
18.4 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.

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 limes-
cale
Liquid machine care
product or machine
descaler in powder
form.
Appliance interior, e.g.
bottle hung in the cut-
lery 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.
