INTRODUCTION
Read these instructions carefully and completely before
you install the machine. The installation should be
carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all
local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing
connections.
If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the
first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and
electrical has to be done before you move the machine
into place.
WHAT YOU NEED
TOOLS
1) Phillips No. 2 screwdriver
2) Flat blade screwdriver
3) Torx screwdriver size T 20
4) Adjustable wrenches (if you use copper fittings)
5) Open-ended wrench (1/2" [12 mm] or 5/8" [16 mm])
6) Tape measure
7) Spirit level
8) Electric drill with 1” drill bit
9) Keyhole saw
If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check
the plumbing connection and wiring before you move
the new dishwasher into place.
NOTE: Cosmetic damage must be reported to the
ASKO dealer within five days from the date of purchase.
As soon as you unpack the dishwasher, thoroughly
check it for cosmetic damage.
MATERIALS
♦ Minimum 3/8" OD copper tubing of sufficient length
for your installation
♦ Shut-off valve and fittings for water supply line
Tip Guards (optional)
When it is not possible to attach the
dishwasher to the cabinet or the
underside of the cabinet top, you
should install tip guards to prevent the
machine from tipping when you open
the door.

PREPARING THE LOCATION
The best place for your dishwasher is in the kitchen
near the sink. This makes it easier to connect the water
and drain supply lines.
A built-in dishwasher must be enclosed on the top,
both sides and the back.
The electrical and water supplies should enter through
the area indicated by the shading on the illustration at
right. They should come through the right side of the
machine, a maximum of 2” (50 mm) from the back wall
and 6-1/4” to 8-1/4” (159 to 210 mm) from the floor,
depending on the underneath cabinet height.
Access holes must be round and smooth, and they
should be 1-1/2” to 2” (38 to 50 mm) in diameter.
EUROPEAN INSTALLATIONS
The kick plate supplied with your dishwasher fits a 24"
(610 mm) opening. When using European standard
installation, a 23-1/2” (597 mm) wide toe kick is available
from your ASKO dealer. (Part numbers: White=80575280; Black=8057528-29.
For a 6” toe kick installation, you will need an extension
toe kick piece. (Part numbers: White=8070121-0;
Black=8070121-29)

CORNER INSTALLATION
If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, there must be
a minimum clearance of 2” (50 mm) from the side wall
so the door can open.
INSTALLING THE TIP GUARDS
(OPTIONAL)
When it is not possible to fasten the dishwasher to the
cabinet, you should install tip guards to prevent the
machine from tipping when the door is opened. The tip
guards can be attached either to the floor or the wall.
The tip guards should be mounted behind the machine,
19” (483 mm) apart (measuring center to center) and
18-1/2” (470 mm) from the front of the machine. (Note:
This measurement could vary, depending on the
thickness of the custom panel, if any.)
2” clearance
WATER SUPPLY
WARNING! Plumbing connections must comply with
applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing codes in your
area.
The machine can be connected to either a hot or cold
water supply . If a cold water supply is used, the washing
times will be longer but the performance will not be
affected.
The dishwasher comes with a 6-foot PEX water supply
line that has a 3/8" NPT female connection.
EASYINSTALL CONNECTIONS
PEX tubing with 3/8”
compression fitting
PEX tubing has a 95-year
spec life. Fits American
dishwasher water supply
valves.
Rear
Tip Guards
(P/N 8070851)
We recommend that you install tip
guards when it isn’t possible to fasten
the dishwasher to the cabinet.
After determining where the water supply line will enter
under the sink, drill a 1-1/2" to 2” (38 mm to 50 mm)
access hole and run the line to the approximate inlet
valve location shown in the figure below. The water line
inlet valve is on the right rear of the machine.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied)
should be installed in the supply line in an easily
accessible location, such as, beneath the sink.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the
line. The water pressure should be 18-176 psi.
WARNING!
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water
line is connected to the dishwasher.
Drain hose boot

drain connection. Only
one clamp required.
Electrical cord
110-120 volts, 15/20 amp
cord supplied with unit.
WARNING!
Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.

Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole
to sink compartment before moving the
dishwasher into position.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
ASKO provides a 7/8” (22 mm) corregated drain hose
which is connected to the back of the unit to form a high
loop. If additional drain hose is needed, please
purchase an additional ASKO drain hose and joint it to
the provided hose with a 7/8” (22 mm)copper tube.
NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8" (22 mm) ID.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-1/2" (38 mm).
The end of the drain line is 1/2” (12
mm), but it is adjustable to 7/8”, 3/4”,
5/8” (22mm, 19 mm, and 16 mm). If
the drain connection is larger than
1/2” (12 mm), you can easily cut the
drain line to fit the connection.
The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect
the drain supply line.
THE HIGH LOOP
The high loop is necessary for
proper draining. Therefore, all
ASKO dishwashers have the drain
hoses attached to the drain pump
and fastened to the top back of the
unit, as illustrated. This gives the
drain hose an automatic high loop,
which is necessary for proper draining. The drain hose
is fastened at the best high loop height with a plastic
zip tie. To eliminate potential drain problems, simply
leave this hose in place.
THREE WAYS TO INSTALL
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
A.)T ypical connection to sink plumbing before
trap (high loop drain)
B.)Connection to air gap then to the trap
IMPORTANT THINGS TO
REMEMBER:
♦ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20" (508 mm) above the bottom of the
dishwasher base) or a 20" (508 mm) high loop will
result in improper drainage, which will damage the
machine.
♦ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35"
(889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦ The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well
or its equivalent because it might function as a
siphon and empty the machine.
♦ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length
of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed tubes, if any,
must have a minimum 7/8" (22 mm) ID.
♦ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug
from the fitting on the disposer before connecting
the drain line.
♦ Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8” (22 mm);
otherwise the water may not drain properly.
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve
and let the pressure act for a while. Then check that all
connections are tight and there are no leaks.
C.)Connection to waste disposer with air gap
NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the knockout
or plug from the disposer fitting.
