Silverware Basket; Caring And Maintenance; Filtering System - Avanti DWT18V3S Manual De Instrucciones

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.
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 your dishwasher is to be 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 at the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the 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 by hand in a counter-clockwise
direction 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.

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 coarse filter, the fine filter, and the main filter.
1. 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 filter, gently turn the top of the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction and lift i t out.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Cleaning The Filter assembly
Turn the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction.
1. Lift the Coarse filter (b) together with the Fine Filter(a)
2. Separate the Fine filter by lifting it out from the Course
Filter (b).
3. Lift out the out the Main filter (c).
To replace the filter assembly 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.
WARNIING – Never run the dishwasher without the filters in
place.
