? Overflow Protection 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.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door. If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid because it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.
If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled. Press the ON/OFF button, and the POWER indicator will turn off. Rotate the knob in the clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting. Then, turn the dishwasher back on by pressing the ON/OFF button.
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens. 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.
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.
