Important safety
instructions
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 function.
•Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
•When loading items to be washed:
–locate 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 to the washing compartment when removing
an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
•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.

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 Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep
them out of reach of children.
Activate child lock (Kid Safe™)
You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children from
starting the dishwasher. See the chapter Settings.
Installation
See the chapter Installation instructions.
Winter storage/Transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances
in very cold weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its
back.
Overflow guard function
The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine and turns off
the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal
level. If the overflow protection is triggered, turn off the water supply
and call the Customer Care Center.
Packing material
The 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 cable and cut it as short as possible.
Contact your municipality for information about where and how your
dishwasher can be recycled correctly.

Before washing for the
first time
1. 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.
2. Basic settings
Open the door and press the main power switch.
"Welcome to your new ASKO. This is a first time set up." is shown
on the display. It is important that you choose the right settings to
ensure good dishwashing results.

Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Run programs only with a full load
Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this
way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the
dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the
dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a program with a
low temperature.
Select ECO wash
This program is the most effective in terms of energy consumption.
Select Green mode
The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and
water, use Green mode. (Available with: Normal wash, Sanitation wash)
Open the door a little once the program has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the
program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding
furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity, or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
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 cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's
energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain
materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat.
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, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from
Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass.
Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so
that they do not touch each other during the wash.
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.
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.
Points to consider
•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.
