Quick Start Guide

We know you're excited about owning an ASKO dishwasher and you're anxious to get started, so here's a brief summary of the operation
procedures. The page references in this Guide refer to the Use and Care Guide. To get the most out of your dishwasher's features, we
recommend that you read the Use and Care Guide.

CHANGING A PROGRAM CHANGING A PROGRAM
If you decide to change the program after you have started the machine, simply turn the control knob to the desired program. The machine
will drain so the new program will start with clean water. (Note: You should not change a program once it is in the main wash cycle.)
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.
