softener container, you should consider installing a
water filtering system.
If you have a model with a softener container, make
sure the container has salt and is set correctly (See
page 6.)
Coffee and tea stains usually have to be removed by
handwashing in a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and
one quart of water. (Do not use on sterling silver or
silver plate.) Be sure to rinse these items thoroughly
before putting them in the dishwasher so there is no
bleach residue on the dishware.
Etching
If you have a cloudy film on your dishes that can't be
removed, it could be etching. To prevent etching, try the
following:
Use a good quality dishwasher detergent.
Use less detergent. You may be using too much for
the water hardness in your area. (See page 5.)
If you have a model with a softener container, make
sure the container has salt and is set correctly (See
page 6.)
Do not overload the machine. Water should circulate
freely to ensure adequate rinsing and draining.

If you should experience a problem with your dishwasher,
you should review the list of frequently encountered
situations on page 13. It could save you the cost and
inconvenience of a service call.
Even though the product is under warranty, if the problem
is not caused by defective product workmanship or
materials, you will be charged for a service call. Refer to
page 16 to determine what is and is not covered under
your warranty. If you're still not sure, contact the ASKO
Advisory Center before you call a service technician.
