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 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.

WARNING!

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 function
The overflow guard 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 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!)

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.
Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be drained from the machine.

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).

Important safety instructions

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.
Contact your municipality for information about where and how your dishwasher can be recycled correctly.

Symbols
Explanation of symbols appearing on the appliance.
Read the user manual.

Before washing for the first time

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 .

Settings|
---|---
1.| Language| Select the language to be shown on the display.
2.| Set level of rinse aid

0/1/2/3/4/5

Default: 4

| Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.

The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted between 0 (Off) and 5 (High dosage).

3.| TAB On/Off

Default: Off

| Activate this setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid.

This setting reduces the rinse aid dosage.

To change the chosen setting, see the chapter Settings.

Add rinse aid
Fill up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 1 – 5.

1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully fill up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.
3. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.

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.

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 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.

Loading the dishwasher

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.

Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray accommodates cutlery, ladles, whisks, and other utensils.
Avoid placing tall objects in the top cutlery tray. They can block the top spray arm.

Raising the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Pull the two locking handles forward on each side to raise the top cutlery tray.

Lowering the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Slide the two locking handles down and back to lower the top cutlery tray.

Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Place all soiled surfaces face down. Place wine glasses on the wine glass shelf. Place knives in the knife stand on the right.

Raising and lowering the upper basket

1. Pull out the upper basket. (The basket must be empty.)
2. Turn the basket catch at the end of both runners outward.
3. Grip the upper basket with both hands, pull it out, and move the upper basket to its other position.
4. Turn the basket catch at the end of both guides back in.

Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.

Adjustable plate supports
The adjustable plate supports can be adjusted to suit the dishes. Release the plate supports by pushing them inward before repositioning them. The plate supports can also be folded down to make it easier to load pots and bowls.

Adaptable power zones
The dishwasher’s two adaptable power zones can be opened in two different positions or turned off.

Leave the power zones open if you want an increased water flow where, for example, you have placed pots and pans or vases and slim items. Turn the dishwasher’s power zones off if you want greater spray pressure in the lower spray arm.

Accessory
Buy a vase and bottle holder. This accessory is available where you bought the dishwasher.

Washing large plates
You can adjust the lower basket for plates with a diameter of 9 3/4-15 1/3″ (25-39 cm) by moving the adjustable plate supports and their fixtures to increase the distance between the tine rows.

Accessory
Buy a wine glass shelf with space for six tall1) wine glasses. The wine glass shelf is designed to ensure optimal washing and drying results with tall wine glasses. The wine glass shelf is placed in the rear section of the lower basket. This accessory is available where you bought the dishwasher.

Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other.
The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the unique spray zone intended for the cutlery basket.

WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher’s special cutlery baskets.

Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items or small shafts (such as electric whisk attachments).

1. Height: max. 9 7/8″ (25 cm), Diameter: max. 2 15/16″ (7.5 cm)

Typical load
Recommended for daily, regular, or typical use. Upper basket

Lower basket

Add detergent
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and lead to greater environmental impact.

Detergent compartment
The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent.
If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the compartment for prewash detergent.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent. Liquid hand-washing detergent must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully.
Activate the TAB setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid.
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.

Installation instructions

It is important that you read through and follow the instructions and directions below. Conduct installation and connection in accordance with the separate installation instructions.

***Fit the trim kit if the widths of 24” (609 mm) is required.

Inches (mm)
Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.

Important safety instructions

• Connections to electricity, water, and drainage must be performed by a qualified professional.
• Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage, and electricity.
• Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must always be two people!
• Place a drip tray on the floor beneath the dishwasher to prevent damage from any water leaks.
• Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by running the Rinse and hold program. Check that the dishwasher fills with water and drains. Also check that none of the connections leak.

WARNING!
The ventilation opening in the lower part of the door must not be blocked by a rug, carpet, or similar furnishing.

WARNING!
Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!
The plug must be disconnected or power to the outlet turned off while installing the dishwasher!

Setup

• The recess and connection dimensions are included in the separate installation instructions. Check that all dimensions are correct before starting the installation. Note that the height of the integrated door panel can be adjusted to match other fittings.
• Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is firm. Adjust the adjustable feet so that the dishwasher is level. Tighten the lock nuts.
• If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.
• Mount the protective film beneath the countertop and up around the edge. The function of the protective film is to protect the countertop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed plastic bag.)
• Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
• Note that the door springs may need adjusting after a cover door has been fitted. Adjust the left and right door springs equally until the door is evenly balanced.

NOTE!
Framed cabinets require additional finished filler material behind the face frame for a proper installation. A minimum 3½” (89 mm) finished return is required on all sides of the opening.

Drain connection
This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height).
This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drain hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

The drain hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit’s water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2” (14 mm).
The drain hose may be extended by a maximum of 87″ (2.2 m) (the total length of the drain hose must not exceed 177″ (4.5 m)). Any joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2” (14 mm). However, the drain hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joints.
No part of the drain hose may be more than 37 3/8” (950 mm) above the bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drain hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drain hose has no kinks.

Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water supply valve. The water supply valve must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water supply valve and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.

Water supply
The machine can be connected to either a cold or a hot (max. 160 °F (70 °C)) water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi (0.03-1.0 MPa).

Connection to cold water supply
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 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.

Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial number plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.

The power outlet for the appliance shall be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the undercounter space in which the appliance is to be installed. Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
The access hole for the electrical supply must be round and smooth and no bigger than 1 1/2” (38 mm) in diameter. If the partition is metal, it needs to be covered with an edge protector.
Use caution when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the power cord.

Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord fitted with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate power outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does not fit the power outlet, have an appropriate power outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
