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 this guide and the Use and Care Guide before using the dishwasher.

PROGRAMSPROGRAMS
PROGRAMS
To select a program, simply press the program button until the indicator light for the desired program comes on. The programs are described below:
Pots and Pans (170° [Sani] or 140° F)
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as casseroles,
sauce pans, etc.
Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F)
For heavily soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles,
etc.
Normal Wash (150° F or 130° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses,
bowls, and lightly soiled pans, use the
Normal wash program with normal temperature
and normal drying .
To save more water and energy use economy
temperature and economy drying.
Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each
wash program, as shown above. When this button is set
on the normal temperature, the main wash is heated to the
higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to
low (economy temperature), the main wash is heated to
the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only
when the normal temperature is selected.
Delayed Start
This button allows you to delay starting the dishwasher for
five hours. Press this button then press Start. The button
will glow when Delay Start is selected. To cancel Delay
Start, hold down the Start/Stop button for three seconds.

washed immediately after use. When using this program,
you should set the temperature to economy and dry the
dishes with economy drying.
Quick Wash (85° F or 120° F)
For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after

Drying
The dishwasher has two drying levels, Economy and
Normal. When you want to have the maximum drying result
you activate the Normal option. That will increase the last

COMMON QUESTIONSCOMMON QUESTIONS
COMMON QUESTIONSCOMMON QUESTIONS
COMMON QUESTIONS
1) Where do I put the prewash detergent?
2) Where do I put the rinse aid?
3) Why does my dishwasher run so long?
4) Why am I getting a white film on my
dishes?
5) Why is there always water left in the
bottom of my machine?
ANSWERSANSWERS
ANSWERSANSWERS
ANSWERS
1) The prewash detergent goes in the small compartment between the main wash
detergent compartment and the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 5.)
2) The rinse aid goes into the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 6.)
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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 10 for possible solutions.

If you want to interrupt a program to add an item, open the door slightly until the spray arms stop turning. You can then open the door fully and
place the item into the dishwasher. Close the door securely. The program will continue from where it was interrupted.
WARNING! Be extremely careful when opening the door during a program. The water is hot and you could get scalded.

If you decide to change the program after you have started the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. You will have to select

DISHWASHING DETERGENT
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.
RINSE AIDRINSE AID

RINSE AID
Using liquid rinse aid prevents water spots from forming on dishes and improves drying by allowing water to “sheet” off the dishes. The rinse
aid is released during the final rinse. The Rinse Aid indicator light will glow when the rinse aid dispenser is empty. For information on how
to fill the rinse aid dispenser and control the amount released, refer to your Use and Care Guide.
NOTE: If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser.
