Additional features

“Top Solo” (16)

“Top Solo” is recommended when
washing a small load. With this function
most of the water is directed only to the
top and middle spray arms of the dish-
washer. This means that the water jets
are aimed at items in the upper basket
and the cutlery tray if the dishwasher
has one.

The middle spray arm also directs wa-
ter downwards so lightly soiled plates
can be placed in the bottom basket,
and cutlery may be placed in the cut-
lery basket if there are large spaces be-
tween pieces.
Do not place dishes, bowls or other hol-
low containers in the bottom basket.

Because a smaller load is being
washed the amount of detergent rec-
ommended can be reduced to approxi-
mately 2/3 of the amount for a full load.
When using less detergent make sure
that the cleaning results are not af-
fected.

Using “Top Solo” saves water and
energy.
For example, using this feature with the
“Economy 55 °C/130 °F” program uses
only 10 quarts (10 l) of water and ap-
proximately 0.6 kWh of electricity.

“Top Solo” can be selected with all pro-
grams.
