Your dishwasher

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
•Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them
out of the reach of children.
•When loading items to be washed:
–position sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
–load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
•Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe”or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
•Do not tamper with controls.
•Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets
and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
•Remove the door of the dishwasher when removing the dishwasher from service or discarding
it (so that children cannot become trapped inside).
•Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.
General
•Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.
•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
•Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

Important safety instructions

Child safety
•Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent
residue left inside the machine.
•Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
•If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
•Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e.,
one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice
immediately: Call the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.
Child lock
You can activate the Automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher.
See the chapter Settings. You can also temporarily activate and deactivate the Child lock function.
Press and hold and for three seconds.
Installation
See the chapter Installation instructions.
Overflow guard
The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level in
the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water)
appears on the display. Turn off the water supply valve and contact your nearest Customer Care
Center. (To avoid water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the power
outlet until the water supply valve has been turned off!)
Packing material
The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable.
Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer
can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling center. The packaging
is comprised of:
•Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
•Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.
•Supports made from untreated wood.
•Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).
Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for recycling. When the machine has reached the end
of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the
power cord and cut it as short as possible.

Important safety instructions

Water hardness
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral
content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important to determine
how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
In general, more rinse aid and detergent are needed for hard water.
Basic settings
Open the door. Press .
"Welcome to your ASKO. First time setup." is shown on the display. It is important that you choose
the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results.
Select setting with . Confirm selected setting with .

Before washing for the first time

Save energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water
consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent and rinse aid can result in less effective dishwashing and lead to a greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program. Use the
Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors.
You can also use the Anti-odor program to prevent bad odors from dirty dishes left in the dishwasher.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a program with a lower temperature.
Select dishwashing program –Eco
This program is the most effective in terms of energy consumption.
Select option –Auto door open
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto door open option, which automatically opens
the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes
have cooled before unloading the dishwasher.
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or
gas.
Connect to hot water
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 160 °F (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 reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high temperatures. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
9
Greener dishwashing

Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot
withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Use caution with, for example, handmade items, China, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin,
aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
China
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.
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 discolored.
In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver,
stainless steel, and aluminum.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum 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.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible
energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces,
as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
•All dirty surfaces should face in and down.
•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.
•Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates.
•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 includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
The basket appearance may differ depending on the configuration.
