IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. WATER HEATER SAFETY Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Warning Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center. This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
WARNING: When using your dishwasher, follow basic precaution, including the following: Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this owner’s manual. Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Locate the sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. Load the sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
For the Best Results: Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter (removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number of times depends on the wash program being used).
NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.
Operating Your Dishwasher a) Ensure that all Electrical, Water, and Drain connections have been installed correctly before proceeding. b) Load the dishwasher accordingly (See the “Loading the Dishwasher Rack” section on pages 15 – 16). c) Add the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent to the dispenser (See the section “Proper Use of Detergent” on page 13). d) Close the door and ensure that the door latch has engaged. e) Turn the dishwasher ON by pressing the ON / OFF button.
Changing the Wash Program / Cycle: If at any time during the washing process you would like to change the selected wash program / cycle; follow the steps below: a) Press and hold the START / RESET button for approximately 3 seconds. (The START / RESET indicator light will be ON indicating that the unit is in PAUSE mode.) b) Select the new wash program / cycle by turning the selector knob to the appropriate program / cycle.

Proper Use of Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent. Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is.
Use Jet-Dry Rinse Agent Jet-Dry rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Filling the Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill. 1) Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2) Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out. 3) Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
Loading the Dishwasher Rack Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.
Silverware Basket Silverware should be placed in the Silverware basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position on the cup shelf. WARNING: Do not let any item extend through the bottom of the rack or cutlery basket.
Care and Maintenance Instructions Filter system The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a micro filter (Fine filter). 1. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain. 2. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle. 3.
WARNING: ·Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. ·The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. ·Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils. ·The entire filter system should be cleaned once a week ·When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.
