    Soaking or hand pre-treatment is no longer needed on

    combination with 6th Sense, optimization of time, 
    energy and water is guaranteed because it adapts the

    Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately
     wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause 
    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.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.

    Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities, ensuring that the spray arms turn freely. Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes. 
    Do not use the dishwasher for washing wooden items, aluminium, tin, silver cutlery or decorated crockery (unglazed). In the baskets, dishes (e.g. plates, 
    bowls, pots) must be placed in a correct way to let water flow down!
    In the lower rack plates and pots can be loaded. 
    Vertical plate holders 
    (E) can be folded down to create more space to load pots.When the “Half load/Multizone” is selected the 
    cutlery basket - F 
    (provided in some models) can be placed in the lower rack.

    What to do if...
    Crockery and cutlery... Possible causes... Solutions...
    ...are not perfectly clean/have 
    food residues
    - Too little space between dishes (incorrect 
    arrangement of the concave items in the rack).
    - Arrange crockery so that items do not touch each other. Concave items (e.g. 
    bowls, cups) must be arranged facing downwards in the rack.
    - Too little detergent; detergent too old or 
    incorrectly stored.
    - If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer’s indications as 
    regards dosage. Always store detergent in a dry place and do not store it for 
    excessively long periods of time.
    - Temperature not high enough for heavily 
    soiled crockery.
    - For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see 
    Table of programs - chapter “Chart” - page 2).
    - Loading of the dishwasher using lower and 
    upper rack at the same time with “Half 
    load/Multizone” option.
    - If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load 
    only 
    the upper rack or 
    only the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain 
    optimum wash results.
    - Frequent use of Eco 50°C.

    “How to set water hardness”).

    - Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long 
    time after end of cycle (e.g. when using 
    “Delayed start” option).
    - In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the 
    dishwasher is normal. 
    Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
    - Incorrect arrangement of the concave 
    items in the rack.
    - Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
    - Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.

    - The Rapid program is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a 
    full load of medium/heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry completely. If so, 
    select a standard-length program. For best results, open the door after the end of 
    the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
