Filter Cleaning:
Regularly clean the dishwasher's filter to ensure optimal performance and prevent food particle buildup. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on how to access and clean the filter.
Troubleshooting
Residual Water:
It is normal to find a small amount of residual water inside the unit. Each HAVA dishwasher undergoes rigorous quality testing by the manufacturer to ensure full functionality, and this may result in minor water residue.
Power Consumption for Off-Grid Use:
The HAVA Countertop Dishwasher operates at 950 W. If using the dishwasher in an RV or camper with an off-grid setup (e.g., solar battery system), be aware that it will draw significant power, especially during the water heating phase. It is recommended to use the dishwasher when connected to shore power or a robust power source to avoid quickly draining batteries.
