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.

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. a fault function of the appliance.

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.
