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.
For lightly soiled loads that are washed
immediately after use. This program is
good for delicate items, such as fine
china and crystal, but you should set the
Temperature selection to Lo and the
Heat dry to Off.
This program rinses the dishes. Select
Heated fan dry if you also want them
heat dried.
This program activates the heating
element to warm the dishes.

ANSWERSANSWERS
1) The prewash detergent goes in the small compartment
between the main wash 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.
4) You may be using too much detergent or washing your dishes
in water that is too hot. Try using less detergent and a lower
temperature setting. (See pages 5 and 8.)
5) 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.
