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. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance.
NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.
CAUTION: To prevent minor injury or property damage
Contents washed in anti-bacterial mode, if available, may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling. Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwasher will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure that the switch is prior to use.
Non-dishware items: Do not wash items such as electrical cleaner filter, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher and discoloration or staining of dishwasher may result.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children.
On dishwashers with electronic controls, if you chose turn the switch off between wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching the switch START/RESET to allow the control to reboot.
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.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC \~/60Hz electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.
If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.
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.
Do not wash plastic unless marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure are properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

Installation instructions
WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged. Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the "quick connect" hose assembly supplied;
- Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.
- If your faucet is inclusive of a 'male' type (threaded) connection, use only the standard rubber washer (0.2"/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.
- If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.
- The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7").
- Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm / 6.3 ft).
- Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8").
- The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.
Water Pressure
For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi).
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). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 55^ C ( 130^ F). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65^ C ( 149^ F).
Connecting your dishwasher
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a 'quick connect' assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The faucet adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections.
natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with two views: top shows a valve assembly, bottom shows wiring connections (no text or symbols)- Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if necessary).
- Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port connection on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
- Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
- Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick connect.
- Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick connect.
- Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick connect, while pushing the quick connect upward onto the faucet adapter.
- When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is secure.
- Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.
IMPORTANT
- Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
- To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMINGWATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.
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.
Disconnecting your Dishwasher
- Shut off the hot water supply at the faucet.
- Disconnect the power supply cord.
- Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose. Press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick-connect until the flow of water stops.
- Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer locking collar, (thus releasing the quick-connect from the faucet adapter).
Before Using Your Dishwasher
- Remove the exterior and interior packing.
- Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 Rack
1 Cutlery / Silverware Basket
1 Measuring Spoon
1 Measuring Cup
1 Instruction Manual
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Operating Instructions

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. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
For heavily soiled loads, use the HEAVY, NORMAL WASH Cycle, fill one or both of the interior cups, depending on the hardness of your water, and also fill the open cup on the dispenser lid.
Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser:
| Number of Grains | Detergent Cups to Fill |
| Less than 4 | 15 cup |
| 4 to 8 | 25 cup |
| 8 to 12 | 15 and 25 cups |
| Greater than 12 | 15, 25 cups and the open cup |
To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back. After you finish, please close the cover. See below:
NOTE: DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
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.
4) Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5) Replace the dispenser knob.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted.
The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent.
Loading the Dishwasher Rack
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.
To remove the plate bracket from the rack:

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. coarse filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cycled during the cycle.
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter assembly under running water. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a soft cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in following and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.
To remove the filter assembly, grab the handle of the fine filter, rotate it anti-clockwise then pull upward direction.
Step1: rotate the fine filter anti-clockwise;
Step2: lift it up;
Step3: lift the Main filter up
NOTE:
If do it from step1 to step 3, the filter system will be removed; while if do it from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.

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.
Cleaning The Spray Arm
It is necessary to clean the spray arm regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash the arm in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace it after rinsing thoroughly.
Cleaning The Control Panel.
- To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax.
- Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning The Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
How To Keep You Dishwasher In Shape
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
No solvents or abrasive cleaning products
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
Troubleshooting tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages. You may not need to call for service.
| Problem | Possible Causes | What To Do: |
