"Top Solo" (18)
Using Top Solo will save water and
energy.
This program is recommended when
there is only a small load to clean. Top
Solo can be selected with all
programs.
With this feature, water is directed only
to the top and middle spray arms in the
dishwasher. This means that the water
jets are only aimed at items in the
upper basket and the cutlery tray.
The middle spray arm also directs
water downwards, so lightly soiled
plates or platters can be placed in the
lower basket.
When using this program, do not place
pots, bowls or other hollow containers
in the lower basket.
Because a smaller load is being
washed the amount of detergent
recommended can be reduced to 1
1/4tablespoons.^Turn the dishwasher on using the
On/Off button (13).

^Select a program using the program
selection buttons (19).
^Press the Top Solo button (18).
