QUICK START PROCEDURES QUICK START PROCEDURES
1. Load the dishwasher. (There's no need to pre-rinse. Simply scrape off large food particles before
you load the dishware.)
2. After you've pushed the baskets back inside the unit, manually rotate the upper and lower spray
arms to be sure they turn freely. Rearrange any item that blocks the wash arms.
3. Make sure there is rinse aid in the dispenser. Add rinse aid, if needed.
4. Add automatic dishwashing detergent and close the dispenser cover. (See "Amount of Dishwashing
Detergent to Use" below.)
5. Close the door securely. (You should hear it click shut.)
6. Press the touchpad for the desired program and, if desired, the Heat dry option. The red indicator
light for the program you select will come on and the dishwasher will start.
LED WINDOW DISPLAYS LED WINDOW DISPLAYS
Program Time Program Time
When a program starts, the LED displays the time it took that program to run last time. As the program runs, the LED displays the remaining
time. If the time exceeds an hour, the display alternates between the hour and minutes remaining. The hour is designated by an h (e.g., 1h).
The program times may not always be the same because of variations in the household hot water temperature. The dishwasher heats
the water to the proper temperature for the program selected, so if the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is too low, the
dishwasher will run longer because it takes longer to heat the water. Raising your water heater setting could help to shorten the cycle
times. If this doesn't help, call the ASKO Advisory Center.
Fault Codes Fault Codes
The LED window displays three fault codes, as illustrated below.
Indicates a fault in the heater. Call your local service
technician.
Indicates high water level in the machine. Call the ASKO
Advisory Center.
NOTE: When the LED displays three dashed lines, this simply means the door isn't closed completely.
AMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USE AMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USE
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.

ANSWERS ANSWERS
1) It goes into the compartment between the main detergent
compartment and the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 4.)
2) The rinse aid goes into the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 5.)
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.

6) See "Understanding the Indicator Lights" on the front of this guide.
7) You may be using too much detergent or washing your dishes in
water that is too hot. Try using less detergent and use the Normal
or Quick wash programs.
8) 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 9 for
possible solutions.
