No, it`s not supposed to go down to zero. There are two buttons on the cistern, one for draining the entire cistern of water, the other for draining a small amount of water. I repeat the question, how to adjust the flush to dispense little water when pressing the small button? Currently, no matter which one I press, the cistern empties completely. I found the instruction manual for this drain valve, which says that this adjustment is made with a float on the side of the drain valve. In practice, no matter what position I set it in, the cistern empties completely.
