carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all
local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing
connections.
If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the
first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and
electrical has to be done before you move the machine
into place.
NOTE: Cosmetic damage must be reported to the
ASKOdealerwithin five days fromthedateofpurchase.
After unpacking the dishwasher, thoroughly check the
unit for cosmetic damage.
If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check
the plumbing connection and wiring before you move
the new dishwasher into place.

The best place for your dishwasher is in the kitchen
near the sink. This makes it easier to connect the water
and drain supply lines.
A built-in dishwasher must be enclosed on the top,
both sides and the back.
* Models 1805 FI and 1895 do not have fill strips. The
width for these models is 23-1/2” (596 mm).

When it is not possible to fasten the dishwasher to the
cabinet, you should install tip guards to prevent the
machine from tipping when the door is opened. The tip
guards can be attached either to the floor or the wall.
The tip guards should be mounted behind the machine,
19” apart (measuring center to center) and 18-1/2” from
the front of the machine. (Note: This measurement
could vary, depending on the thickness of the custom
panel, if any.)

WARNING! Plumbingconnectionsmustcomplywith
applicablesanitary, safety andplumbingcodes inyour
area.
The machine should preferably be connected to a hot
water supply. If a cold water supply is used, the washing
times will be longer but the performance will not be
affected.
The hot water supply line should be minimum 3/8" OD
copper tubing. The inlet valve has a 3/8" NPT female
connection.
After determining where the water supply line will enter
the dishwasher, drill a 1" access hole and run the line
totheapproximateinletvalvelocationshowninthe figure
below.The inlet valve ison the right front ofthe machine,
so the water line should be placed on the right side.
If you use soft copper line, leave the tube straight out in
the opening to slide the dishwasher in. Bend the tube
into position after the dishwasher is slid into the cabinet
opening.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied)
should be installed in the supply line in an easily
accessible location (such as, beneath the sink) or in
the supply line near the dishwasher fill valve.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the
line. The water pressure should be 18-176 psi.

ASKO provides a 7/8” drain hose which is connected to
the back of the unit to form a high loop. If additional
drain hose is needed, please purchase an additional
ASKO drain hose and joint it to the provided hose with a
7/8” copper tube.
NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8" ID.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-1/2".
The end of the drain line is 1/2”, but it is adjustable to
7/8”, 3/4”, 5/8”. If the drain connection is larger than
1/2”,youcaneasily cut the drain line to fittheconnection.

REMEMBER:REMEMBER:
REMEMBER:REMEMBER:
REMEMBER:
♦Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20" above the bottom of the dishwasher
base) or a 20" high loop will result in improper
drainage, which will damage the machine.
♦No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35"
from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well
or its equivalent because it might function as a
siphon and empty the machine.
♦The drain hose can be extended to a maximum
length of 10 feet. Joints and jointed tubes, if any,
must have a minimum 7/8" ID.
♦If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug
from the fitting on the disposer before connecting
the drain line.
♦Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8”; otherwise the
water may not drain properly.
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve
and let the pressure act for a while. Then check that all
connections are tight and there are no leaks.

TESTING FOR LEAKS
1. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.
2. Turn the power on at breaker/fuse box and test the
dishwasher operation by running a Rinse cycle.
(This should take about four minutes.)
3. Turn off the electrical power and check for leaks
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher.
Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it to the
inlet valve of the machine.
The unit has a float switch in the base pan to protect
against flooding. If the inlet valve connection is not
seated properly, water may leak into the base pan and
activate the float switch. Make sure the connection is
seated and not leaking before completing the installation.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the
line. The water pressure should be 18-176 psi.
If the water line is installed properly, there is no need to
seal the connection with Teflon™ tape.
Bend the tube into position after the dishwasher is in
the cabinet opening. It’s best to use a tube bender to
keep the line from kinking.
It’s necessary to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet
so it won’t tilt when the door is opened or if something
heavy is placed on the door. Use only the stainless
steel screws provided with the machine.
1. Use option A for U.S. or European standard
installations. Use option B only for European
standard installations.
2. Cover the screw heads with the plastic plugs
provided with the machine.
3. When the machine is properly attached, check that
the feet are tight against the floor and that the
machine is level.

Before fitting the custom panel, the dishwasher must
be installed underneath the cabinet. After you’ve made
the required measurements, pull the machine out again
to install the panel.
Refer to the illustration at right for instruction references.
1. Fit the handle (A) onto the panel according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. ( NOTE: A handle
should be used rather than a knob, because a knob
does not provide enough grip.)
2. Peel the adhesive backing off the washers and place
them in line with the four keyholes (C) on the metal
front of the dishwasher door.
3. Loosen the screws (D) on the outer edges of the
dishwasher door.
4. Pull the turbo fan exhaust frame (E) down until the
loweredge aligns with the lower edge of the cabinets
and tighten the screws. Next, snap the plastic duct
into the turbo fan exhaust vent.
5. The two short screws (B) go into the back of the
panel, 16-3/16” from the upper edge of the panel
and 5/8” from the outer edges. Insert the short
screws into the panel, leaving 1/8” of space between
the screw head and the panel.
6. Hook the panel screws (F) into the keyholes (C) on
the dishwasher door.
7. Push the panel upwards until the lower edge aligns
with the lower edge of the cabinets.
NOTE: The custom panel should not extend more
than 2-15/16” below the bottom of the dishwasher
door. Otherwise, it will strike the toe kick and
damage the machine and/or the panel.
8. Open the door and tighten the screws (F) inside.
9. Remove the backing from the protective tape and
apply it on the bottom edge of the panel, in front of
the exhaust vent.
