Soaking or hand pre-treatment is no longer
needed on any kind of items. Steam is used to
soften soil and its action is particularly effective
on coffee, tea and lipstick stain on glasses and
cups. Furthermore, thanks to the combination
with 6th Sense, optimization of time, energy
and water is guaranteed because it adapts the
washing cycle to the level of soil.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6).
Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder
detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
