Frequently Asked Questions - DWE1801B Avanti

How do I properly install the Avanti DWE1801B dishwasher?

Place the dishwasher on a sturdy, level surface near a sink. Connect the water inlet hose to the faucet using the quick-connect adapter, ensuring a secure fit. Plug the power cord into a grounded 120V outlet. Ensure the drain hose is routed to the sink or a drain pipe. Refer to the manual for specific steps.

What should I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the water supply is turned on and the faucet adapter is properly connected. If the issue persists, try resetting by unplugging for 30 seconds.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter after every 3-4 washes or when you notice food debris. To clean, remove the lower rack, twist and lift the filter assembly, rinse under running water, and scrub with a soft brush if needed. Reinstall securely.

Can I use regular dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent?

No, never use regular dish soap as it creates excessive suds that can damage the unit and cause leaks. Use only automatic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or pods) designed for dishwashers.

Why is my dishwasher leaving spots on dishes?

Spots are often caused by hard water. Use a rinse aid to improve drying and prevent spots. Also, ensure you're using the correct amount of detergent, and that the water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Clean the spray arms if clogged.

How do I use the delay start feature?

Press the Delay button repeatedly to select the desired delay time (from 1 to 24 hours in 1-hour increments). The display will show the delay time. Then press Start to begin the countdown. The dishwasher will start automatically after the delay.

What does the child lock do and how to activate it?

The child lock prevents unintended button presses during a cycle. To activate, press and hold the Delay and Start buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears. Repeat to deactivate.

How do I clean the spray arms?

Remove the upper and lower spray arms by unscrewing or unclipping them. Rinse under hot water and use a toothpick to clear any clogged holes. Reattach securely, ensuring they spin freely.

What is the maximum water temperature allowed?

The recommended inlet water temperature is between 120°F (49°C) and 140°F (60°C). Do not exceed 149°F (65°C) as it may damage internal components. Very hot water can also cause poor wash performance.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Visit the Avanti official website or contact their customer service. Authorized online retailers like Amazon also carry common parts such as filters, spray arms, and detergent dispensers. Always use genuine parts for safety and performance.

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 dishwasher should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this dishwasher 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.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
• Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
• This dishwasher requires a standard 110/120 volts A.C.\~/60hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
• The cord should be secured behind the dishwasher and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
• Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system: or run an 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.
• 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 form 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.

Water Heater Safety

Under certain conditions hydrogen 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.

WARNING

READ FOR PROPER USE

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
- Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer recommendations.
• Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Using detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
- Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid, keep children away from the open door of the dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.
• The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.

- During installation, the power supply must not be excessively bent or flattened.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of water squirting out.

- Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.

- When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
- When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items form contacting with heating element.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

- Please dispose of packing materials properly.

- Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

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 14 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.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "2". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to "4". We suggest you to set on"2".

When To Refill The Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse aid warning light on the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the following means: The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 14 full.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cup and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.

The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels of different height into the rails.

1. Cups
2. Saucer
3. Glasses

How To Use The Lower Rack

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down.

Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.

The bottom rack features fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

1. Serving Bowl
2. Fruit Bowl
3. Bread and Butter Plates
4. Serving Plates
5. Dinner Plates
6. Silverware Basket

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 at the front of the upper rack.

Starting A Wash Cycle

• Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall socket.
• Make sure the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Load the dishwasher.
- Pour in the detergent.
- Close the door completely.
- Press the ON/OFF button.
- Select the appropriate wash cycle suitable for your needs the dishwasher will begin the selected wash cycle.
• During the wash cycle the START/RESET indicator light will flash intermittently.

Canceling Or Modifying A Wash Cycle Setting

Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has only been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled. Press the START/RESET button to hold for more than 3 seconds to cancel the running program. Then you can select appropriate programs.

At The End Of The Wash Cycle

When the cycle has finished; turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.

Forgot To Add A Dish?

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens.

• Press the START/RESET button
• Pull the door handle.
  • Do not open the door until the water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher.
• Add forgotten dishes.
• Push the door to close it. When the door is closed right a click will be heard.
• Press the START/RESET button again to continue accordingly.

Filtering System

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter and the fine

filter.

1. Main Filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

2. Coarse Filter

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filer, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift out.

3. Fine Filter

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes during a cycle.

Caring And Maintenance

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.

Protect against freezing

If you dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or tip circuit breaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in rubber boot.

Cleaning The Spray Arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly or 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 arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Cleaning The Filters Filter assembly

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with an arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

1. Turn the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction and lift outward.
2. Lift out the Main filter
3. Lift out the Fine filter.

To replace the filter follow the same steps in reverse.

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.

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.

WARNING – Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

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.

WARNING - Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not 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.

When you go on Holiday

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and them remove the plug from the AC socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

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.
