Detergent Dispenser - Avanti DW18D0WE Manuel D'instructions

OVERFLOW PROTECTIONS
Our Avanti dishwasher has an overfill protection device which could automatically shut off the inlet valve
and start the drain pump if the water overflow. If this occurs, turn off the main water supply before calling
a servicer. If there is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be
removed before restarting the dishwasher.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DETERGENT DEPOSITS DO NOT ADD EXCESS AMOUNT OF
DETERGENT AS YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A SPECIALLY DESIGNED WATER SOFTNER.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in
the "Wash Cycle Table". Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional
dishwashers. Generally, only one teaspoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load, heavily
soiled items may need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher,
otherwise it could become damp and not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
IF THE WATER IN YOUR AREA IS NOT TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION
OF DEPOSITS BY DETERGENT
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in the water hardness of your area. To
determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening
company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the
amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.
Removing Hard Water Spots From Dishes
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the
dishwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the lower
rack of the dishwasher.
Run the dishes through a normal wash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with ¼ cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Proper Use Of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwasher. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't
put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
• Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse-aid
dispenser is located on the door next to the detergent dispenser. Fill the
rinse-aid dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black
(approximately 100ml of liquid rinse-aid). Be sure not to overfill the
dispenser as this will cause over-sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a
damp cloth. Keep in mind that if you have soft water, you may not need
to use a rinse-aid as it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.
• To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "Open" arrow (counter-clockwise) and lift outward.
• Pour the rinse-aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
• Replace the cap by inserting it by aligning the arrow to the open position and turning clockwise to
close it.
• The rinse-aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes
that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing the water to "sheet" off the dishes.
