Safety instructions
Water hardness
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral
content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important with regard
to how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
Basic settings
Press .
"Welcome to your ASKO. First time setup." is shown on the display. It is important that you choose

Lift up to open
Press to close
1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top the rinse aid up to the marked level MAX.
3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to use rinse aid with citric acid (known
as acid rinse aid).
8
Before washing for the first time
Save energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water
consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent and rinse aid can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program. Use the
Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.
You can also use the Anti-odour program to prevent bad odours from dirty dishes left in the
dishwasher.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program – Eco
Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load, such as plates, serving
dishes, cups, glasses and so on.
This dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as
possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select option – Auto door open
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto door open option, which automatically opens
the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes
have cooled before unloading the dishwasher.
9
Greener dishwashing
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot
withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver,
copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also achieve a better dishwashing
result with glassware and dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver,
stainless steel and aluminium.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can
be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible
energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces,
as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important
for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery
tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Using the dishwasher
This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the temperature of the water supply, the
amount of dishes, the ambient temperature and other factors.
During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can be slightly misleading, as

Installation
Transport protection for the door
Do not forget to remove the transport protection for the door when unpacking the dishwasher.
Placing the dishwasher
The dishwasher is intended for installation under a worktop. The recess dimensions are illustrated.
Holes for wires/cables need not be larger than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such
holes are even to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power cable.
[mm]
If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant to any condensation from
the dishwasher.
Accessory
Buy an accessory kit for freestanding installation (two side panels, a worktop and two anti-tip brackets).
If the dishwasher is placed so that one of the sides is visible, side panels must be fitted. If the
dishwasher is completely freestanding, both side panels, a worktop and anti-tip brackets must be
fitted. Accessories can be purchased from where you bought the dishwasher.
Affix the protective film
Mount the protective film beneath the worktop and up around the edge. The function of the protective
film is to protect the worktop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed plastic bag.)

The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit’s water trap. The
connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the total length of the drainage hose
must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least
14 mm.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water tap must be easily accessible,
so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the pressure to settle for a while.
Check that all connections are watertight.
NOTE!
Only cold water connection is suitable for this appliance.
The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa.
Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of pressure limiting valves may
restrict the water supply! This may cause the error message “Water inlet fault” to be displayed.
If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.
