Normal flush - Uses 0.95 litre (1 quart) per flush.

Dry Bowl flush - Uses 0.5 litre (1 pint ) per flush.
Does not add water to bowl after flush.
To change from Normal to Dry Bowl flush setting, press the Flush switch for about five seconds.
When the green OK to Flush light on the status panel begins flashing, release the Flush switch.+
Flush mode has been changed to Dry Bowl setting.
Change mode to Normal flush by following the same procedure.

galleggiante


Explanation:
Il termine tecnico in inglese sarebbe ballcock e designa il galleggiante che rileva il livello dell'acqua per far chiudere la valvola al raggiungimento del livello desiderato.

Example sentence(s):
  • Il serbatoio dello sciacquone si riempie in automatico ed il galleggiante consente di rilevare il livello dell’acqua e di chiudere il rubinetto in automatico quando viene raggiunto il livello desiderato.
