ASKO XLADAFI dishwashers can be installed either with or without accessory ll strips depending on the type of installation.
If the dishwasher cutout has been cut to European widths of 23-5/8˝ (600 mm), the unit won’t require ll strips. If the
dishwasher cutout is a standard 24˝ (610 mm) wide, we have ll strips that make the unit 24˝ (610 mm) wide.
The ASKO accessory ll kit for 23 5/8˝ (600 mm) Width
Door Panels (8077317-95), which includes the counter
saver ll strip and both side ll strips, should be installed
in the back mounting holes.

Follow the separate instructions supplied with the
dishwasher to attach the chosen accessory door or
custom panel to the front of the machine.
Once you have tted the accessory door or custom
panel to the dishwasher, the door springs may need
adjusting. Check that the door stays in the position in
which it is placed. If the door drops down when you
open it, the springs need to be tightened. If the door
shuts on its own, the springs need to be loosened.
See step 3 for further instructions.
The custom panel must not cover the air nozzle and
thereby block the ow of air.

The door springs are on the sides of the dishwasher.
If necessary, pull out the dishwasher and adjust the
tension of the door springs. A good idea is to try
adjusting one side only rst.
1. Be sure the door is closed.
2. Grab the front end of the spring and pull it up and
forward to release it from the forward mount.
3. Loosen the spring from the rear mount by turning
it outwards.
4. Adjust the spring tension using one of the following
methods depending on how much adjustment is
needed.
If you need to adjust the spring a lot, place the rear
mount in another hole. Place the spring further
forward to reduce the tension and further back to
increase the tension.
If you want to make small adjustments to the
spring, hold the back end with one hand and turn
the forward mount clockwise or counterclockwise
one or more times. Turn the mount clockwise to
increase spring tension and counterclockwise to
reduce spring tension.

Don’t forget to remove the knockout or plug from the
disposer tting.
ASKO provides a 7/8˝ (22 mm) diameter corrugated
drain hose which is connected to the back of the unit
to form a high loop.
Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8˝ (41
mm)- 2˝ (50mm) max.
The end of the drain line
is 1/2˝ (12 mm), but it is
adjustable to 7/8˝, 3/4˝,
5/8˝ (22mm, 19 mm, and
16 mm). If the drain connection is larger than
1/2˝ (12 mm), you can easily cut the drain line to t
the connection.
The illustrations to the right show three ways to
connect the drain supply line.
The high loop is necessary for
proper draining. Therefore, all
ASKO dishwashers have the
drain hoses attached to the drain
pump and fastened to the top
back of the unit, as illustrated. This gives the drain
hose an automatic high loop, which is necessary for
proper draining. The drain hose is fastened at the
best high loop height.
• Failure to provide the proper drain connection
height (minimum of 20˝ (508 mm) above the
bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20˝ (508 mm)
high loop will result in improper drainage, which
will damage the machine.
• No part of the drain hose should be higher than
35˝ (889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
• The drain hose can be extended to a maximum
length of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed
tubes, if any, must have a minimum 7/8˝ (22 mm)
OD.
• If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug
from the tting on the disposer before connecting
the drain line.
• Do not use ttings smaller than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD;
otherwise the water may not drain properly.

In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water
supply line is connected.
Flush the water supply line prior to connecting it to
the water ll tube.
The unit has a oat switch in the base pan to protect
against ooding. If the inlet valve connection is not
seated properly, water may leak into the base pan
and activate the oat switch.
Water connection should be carried out by a
qualied professional. It is important that the water
supply line and the shut-o valve have a sucient
ow volume. At least 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute
must be able to pass through the line. Connect the
machine using the accompanying supply hose.
Water pressure should be 4.2-140 PSI. There should
be a shut o valve on the water pipe.
Use the supplied O ring and tighten the connection
by hand plus a quarter turn with a wrench.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise
to ush them so that any debris is washed away.
Otherwise, debris can clog the lter in the machine’s
water intake and cut o the water supply.
Only use the inlet hose supplied with the machine.
Do not reuse old or other loose inlet hoses.
Ensure that the power outlet is within the range of the
power cable. Do not use an extension cord!
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded
outlet.
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole leading
to the sink compartment before moving the dishwasher
into position.
