When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. • Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
Before washing for the first time 1. Checking water hardness 2. Basic settings 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. To switch on the dishwasher, press and hold the main power switch until the display lights up. In general, more rinse aid and detergent are needed for hard water. "Welcome to your new ASKO. This is a first time set up." is shown on the display.
Loading the dishwasher 3. Top up with rinse aid Energy-efficient dishwashing Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results. Run programs only with a full load Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Fragile dishes The baskets 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. The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
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. Lower basket Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. Place pots and pans in the rear right of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the rear spray nozzle (WideSpray™), which is intended for these types of dishes. Accessory Buy an extra cutlery basket.
