Using The Dishwasher - Asko DWC5916XXL Operating Instructions Manual

Washing large plates
Move foldable tines and their mounts to widen the distance
between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a
diameter greater than 25 cm.
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 utilise dishwashing performance from the
unique spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery™), which is intended
for the cutlery basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points
down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other 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.

Using the dishwasher

Add detergent
1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This
dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and
rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and
also entails greater environmental impact.
c
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a
compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add a small
amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact
the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the
detergent.
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is
c
corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not
be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from
operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is
a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is
tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programmes
(less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent instead.
3-in-1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If
anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
Chapter Settings describes how to activate TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one
detergent). Note that salt must be put in the salt compartment. If
you are not satisfied with the dishwashing or drying results,
deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent) and top
up with salt, detergent and rinse aid. See Chapter Before washing
for the first time.
