Quick Start Guide
We know you’re excited about owning an ASKO dishwasher and you’re anxious to get started, so here’s a brief summary of the
operation procedures. The page references in this Guide refer to the
Use and Care Guide . To get the most out of your dishwasher’s
features, we recommend that you read the
Use and Care Guide .
When used with the low temperature settings, this
option further reduces energy consumption without
diminishing cleaning performance by lowering the
water temperature in the prewash and main wash and
extending the wash time.
Activates the heating element during the drying cycle to
dry the dishes faster.
Lets you select a high or low water temperature for the
wash programs (except Rinse). (See “Temperature
Options”on the next page.) The indicator light glows
when it’s on the high setting and remains off when set
on low.
Lets you delay running the dishwasher for five hours.
After making your selections, press Delay then press

The dishwasher is programmed to stop operating if the door is opened during a cycle. If you want to change a program or option
after you start the machine, open the door slightly to let the spray arms stop rotating and avoid getting sprayed with water. Press and
hold Start for five seconds to cancel the current selection then press the touchpad(s) for your desired selection. Press Start again
and close the door. The drain pump will run to remove any dirty water from the dishwasher before starting the newly selected cycle.
AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USEAMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE
We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Generally, one tablespoon of detergent is
needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need more detergent. Also, the amount of detergent
needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. (See page 5.) In any
case, you should never use more than three tablespoons of detergent.

ANSWERS
1) It goes into the small compartment between the main detergent
compartment and the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 4.)
2) The rinse aid goes into the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 5.)
3) See “Understanding the Indicator Lights”above.
4) See “Understanding the Indicator Lights”above.
5) See “Understanding the Indicator Lights”above.
6) If the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is below
120°, the dishwasher runs longer because it heats the water to the
proper temperature for the program selected. Raising your water
heater setting may help shorten the cycle times. If this doesn’t
resolve the problem, call the ASKO Advisory Center.
7) You may be using too much detergent or washing your dishes in
water that is too hot. Try using less detergent and a lower
temperature setting. (See pages 5 and 8.)
8) It’s normal to have some water left in the sump area near the
drain. If the water fills more than the drain area, see page 9 for
possible solutions.

When you press Start, the indicator lights will flash rapidly, alternating between the four lights on the left and the four on the right.
This merely means the unit is ready. Simply close the door securely to start the machine.
If you open the door and the lights flash, the program has not finished. Close the door and let the machine complete the program.
When the dishwasher is done, the indicator lights will come on for the last wash program and options that you used. (NOTE: The
machine will not retain the Rinse or Quick program; it will revert to the Normal wash program.)

You can select high or low water temperatures for the wash programs
(except Rinse). The table to the right shows the temperature options for
each program. We recommend that you use the lower temperature settings
whenever possible to conserve energy.
The indicator light glows if the temperature is set on high and it remains black if set
on low. Once you select a temperature option, it will remain selected until you change
it (except the Quick wash, which reverts to 130°F).
