Machine Care is a program that removes various deposits in one wash cycle. 

Cleaning takes place in two phases:

PhaseRemoval ofCleanerPlacement
1Grease and limescaleLiquid machine care product or machine descaler in powder form.Appliance interior, e.g., bottle hung in the silverware basket or powder in the interior.
2Food remnants and depositsMachine cleanerDetergent dispenser

To ensure optimal cleaning performance, the program does the cleaners independently of each other during the relevant cleaning phase. Therefore, it's important to place the cleaners correctly.
Run Machine Care without dish-ware 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.
