check regularly and, if
necessary, clean them.

11.1 Internal cleaning

• Clean the appliance interior with a soft
damp cloth.

• Do not use abrasive products,
abrasive cleaning pads, sharp tools,
strong chemicals, scourer or solvents.

items can be easily damaged.

2. First remove items from the lower

basket, then from the upper basket.

After the programme is
completed, water can still
remain on the inside
surfaces of the appliance.
