<!-- from fixya rte -->How do I use the half load function - Bosch 24 in. SGS45E02 / SGS45E08 Exxcel Free-standing Dishwasher

Without knowing your model number, I can tell you how it works in my dishwasher. The water comes out of only the upper arm, so you load only the top rack. My dishwasher also has a disperser that you snap into the inside top of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers do not have this snap-in part. Load the top rack and run the dishwasher normally. It is more economical to fill the entire dishwasher than run half-loads.
