I was referring back to post #19.
I understood it as manual pre-rinsing. I have encountered a few people staying that they feel need to manually 'pre-rinse' dishes by hand before dishwashing in a machine and it always seems like an absolutely waste of time, effort and water. Most machines in my experience will quite happily wash dirty dishes.
Miele actually goes as far as suggesting that you absolutely should not do that as the detergent needs something to work on, rather than almost clean dishes - it can result in over-foaming etc if there's no dirt present.
