YOUR DISHWASHER

Loading the dishwasher

Greener dishwashing

Do not rinse under running water

Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.

Choose a green detergent

Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!

Run programs only with a full load

Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you save energy. Use the Rinse & hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

Run programs at a lower temperature

If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.

Select 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.

Open the door a little once the program has finished

Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)

Connect to cold water

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connection to hot water supply

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE! Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing 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.

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.

Points to consider

• 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.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.

The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.

Top cutlery tray

The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.

Raising the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Pull the two locking handles on either side forward to raise the top cutlery tray.

Lowering the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Slide the two locking handles on either side downwards and backwards to lower the top cutlery tray.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.

Lower basket

Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.

Place pots and pans in the rear right part of the lower basket to achieve the best dishwashing results from the rear of the two spray nozzles (WideSpray™), which are intended for these types of dishes.

Foldable tines

Lower the foldable tines (plate supports) when washing pots and pans. Release the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.

Washing large plates

Move the foldable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater than 25 cm.

Accessory

Buy a wine glass shelf with space for six tall 1) wine glasses. The wine glass shelf is designed to ensure optimal washing and drying results with tall wine glasses. The wine glass shelf is placed in the rear section of the lower basket. This accessory can be purchased by calling ASKO.

Cutlery basket

Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other.

The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to achieve the best dishwashing performance from the unique spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery™), which is intended for the cutlery basket.

WARNING! Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.

Fold-down section for small items

The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk attachments.

Accessory

Buy an extra cutlery basket. The extra cutlery basket is flexible and can be dismantled and attached to the lower basket or the large cutlery basket to make an extra large cutlery basket. This accessory is available where you purchased your dishwasher.

Using the dishwasher

Add detergent

1. Prewash detergent compartment
2. Main wash detergent compartment

Detergent is added according to water hardness.

Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.

NOTE! Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

Dishwasher tablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.

NOTE! Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

All-in-one detergent

There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read the directions for these products carefully.

NOTE! Optimum washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

The main power switch

Open the door and press the main power switch. Close the door. Also turn on the water tap if it is turned off.

Select a program

To select a program, press the navigation button PROG until the desired program is shown on the display.

Select a programme to suit the type of dishes and how dirty they are.

Eco Eco

Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.

You can read more about greener dishwashing in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

Heavy

Use to wash normally soiled load, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.

Time program

The program adapts to the specified running time or finish time. With this program it is important to choose a time suited to how dirty the dishes are.

0:15-0:45 Slightly dirty dishes

1:00-1:30 Normally dirty dishes

2:00-2:30 Very dirty dishes

Press the option button to set the desired program time.

Rinse & hold

Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

Hyg Hygiene

This program is designed to meet strict hygiene demands.

Quick

A short program for slightly soiled dishes. (This program is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes.)

Intensive

Program for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes and oven dishes. If these dishes do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates and the like.

Select a program mode

To select a program mode, press the program mode selector until the desired mode is shown on the display. The available program modes vary between programs.

Speed mode

The program time is shortened, but the dishwasher uses more energy.

Night mode

Lower noise level during the dishwashing program. The program time is extended.

Select an Option

To select an option, press the option button until the desired option is shown on the display. The available options vary between programs.

Extra Dry

A higher temperature in the final rinse and a longer drying cycle improve the drying results if you activate this option. Energy consumption is slightly increased.

Delayed Start

When you select Delayed Start, the dishwasher will start in 1-24 hours after you have pressed the button Start/Stop and closed the door.

1. Press the button once to activate Delayed Start. Press the button several times – or hold it in – to set the desired number of hours.
2. Press Start/Stop and close the door. The timer counts down and the dishwasher starts after the selected delay.

If you want to cancel the Delayed Start option, open the door then press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds.

Starting the dishwasher

Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. Press Start/Stop until the display shows "Program started".

If the dishwasher is not started within 2 minutes of the last button press, the machine switches off.

Time remaining

Once you have chosen a program, a program mode and options, the time the program took when last used is displayed.

Once you have started the dishwasher, the display shows the remaining program time. The remaining time is updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated.

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 the dishwasher is estimating the time. When you run the program a second time, the dishwasher will calculate the remaining time based on the previous duration of the program.

Stopping or changing a program

In order not to accidently press a button and cancel the current program, you must press and hold Start/Stop for five seconds if you want to change programs after starting the dishwasher. Add more detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then choose a new program and press Start/Stop.

If you want to load more dishes

Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes and close the door. After a while, the dishwasher continues the program.

If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure

If the dishwashing program was not finished, the interrupted program continues when power is restored.

NOTE! During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.

Once the program has finished

Once the program has finished, “END” appears on the display.

At the end of the program, you will hear a short beep. Chapter Settings describes how to change this function.

The dishwasher switches off automatically after the program ends. Turn off the water tap after each use.

How to get the best drying results

• Fully load the dishwasher.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.
• Activate the Extra Dry option.
• Activate the High temperature setting. See the chapter Settings.
• Activate the Extra Dry setting. See the chapter Settings.
• Open the door a little once the program has finished.
• Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them.

Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Care and cleaning

Top up rinse aid

When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the display.

1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked max.
3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.

After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.

NOTE! For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to use rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).

Coarse filter

The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which cannot get past the drainage pump. Empty the coarse filter when necessary.

1. Lift the coarse filter by the handle.
2. Empty the coarse filter. Remember to refit it!

Fine filter

Debris that collects on the fine filter is automatically rinsed away during each wash. Clean the fine filter when necessary.

1. Turn the handle anticlockwise.
2. Lift the filter straight up using the handle. Free the coarse filter to clean the fine filter.
3. Refit in reverse order. Check that the edges seal properly when refitting the fine filter.
4. Lock the filter in place by turning the handle clockwise to the stop position. The handle should point straight out from the dishwasher.

NOTE! Dishwashing results may be affected if the filters are incorrectly fitted. Note that the dishwasher must not be used without the filters in place.

NOTE! Check that the coloured stop on the right in the bottom drain is in place.

Spray arms

Holes and bearings can sometimes become blocked. Remove any debris using a pin or something similar. The spray arms also have holes on their undersides.

To facilitate cleaning, you can remove the spray arms. Remember to fit them firmly back into place after cleaning.

Top spray arm

• The upper basket must be removed before the top spray arm can be released. See section Upper spray arm.
• Pull out the top cutlery tray. Press the top spray arm up and unscrew the spray arm bearings counter-clockwise to remove the spray arm.

Upper spray arm

• The upper basket must be removed before the upper spray arm can be released. Pull out the upper basket and turn the basket catch on each runner outwards (see illustration). The basket can now be removed.

• Pull the upper spray arm straight up to release it.

Lower spray arm

• Pull the lower spray arm straight up to release it.

The door and the door seal

Regularly clean the sides of the door and the door seal. Use a slightly damp cloth (with a little cleaner if necessary).

Front panel

Keep the buttons clean and free from grease. Wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use cleaners – they can scratch the surface. Use the main power switch to turn off the dishwasher before cleaning the buttons to avoid activating any buttons unintentionally.

The dishwasher tub

The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use.

Limescale deposits

If you have hard water, limescale deposits may build up in the dishwasher. If this happens, run the Intensive program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment (with no dishes in the machine). Special dishwasher cleaners are also available on the market.

Unblocking the drainage pump

If the dishwasher still contains water after the programme has finished, something may be blocking the drainage pump. Such items are easily removed.

1. Turn off the machine using the main power switch and unplug it from the wall socket.
2. Remove the coarse filter and the fine filter.
3. Scoop out the water from the dishwasher tub.
4. In order to inspect the drainage pump, remove the coloured stop on the right in the bottom drain.
5. Turn the pump wheel located behind the drainage pump stop by hand. Carefully remove any items.
6. Refit the drainage pump stop along with the fine and coarse filters.
7. Plug the machine in again.

If the dishwasher still does not start and a whirring sound is heard, the overflow protection has been activated.

• Shut off the water.
• Remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Call the service department.

NOTE! Do not forget to refit the drainage pump stop.

Unblocking the inlet hose filter

If the water supply contains small particles, the outer filter on the inlet hose may become blocked, which results in Water inlet fault.

1. Turn off the machine using the main power switch and unplug it from the wall socket.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Unscrew the inlet hose.
4. Carefully remove the outer filter from the inlet hose and clean it.
5. Refit the filter and check that the gasket is correctly positioned.
6. Screw the inlet hose firmly into place.
7. Plug the machine into the wall socket and turn on the water tap. Allow the pressure to settle for a while and check that the connection is watertight.
