TROUBLEFREE HOUSEKEEPING

ASKO/ONE quality is equally high worldwide,

but the guarantees vary from country to coun-

try depending on legislation and other factors.

Guarantees and terms of sale are presented on a

separate page that accompanies your machine.

TROUBLEFREE HOUSEKEEPING

A household appliance should always offer Trou-

blefree performance. It cannot just suddenly stop

working, it should not be noisy or vibrate, nor

should it be dirty or ugly, waste water and elec-

tricity, or blink obstinately while refusing to

allow itself to be programmed. The whole point

of household appliances is to make your life

troublefree – not be the cause of your troubles!

nufacturer can guarantee 100% reliability, we

created a unique service concept for our ASKO/

ONE customers which guarantees that we will

take care of any problem that might arise – befo-

re it starts to trouble you.

We call it T

ROUBLEFREE HOUSEKEEPING. For us

this is a way to stay in touch with our customers,

to make sure that you are still satisfied after 3

years, as well as after 13. In practice, the Trou-

blefree housekeeping concept gives you the best

service possible.

You can call on the T

ROUBLEFREE LINE at any

time to ask questions or request service.

We will still stay in touch with you and your

appliance for as long as you use it – and we

expect that to be a long time!

When we created ASKO/ONE we did all

we could to prevent problems by incorporating

high quality, reliability, timeless design, and effi-

cient features into a few, carefully selected mo-

dels.

However, no matter how hard you try, at

some point someone may require service on an

appliance. Since neither we, nor any other ma-

SAFETY

GENERAL

• Study and save the operating instructions for

future reference.

• Services to the dishwasher, ie, water supply,

drain, electric power, should be connected by

an authorized person.

• Do not use the dishwasher for other purposes

than those stated in the operating instructions.

• Do not subject the dishwasher door or the

baskets to any other load in addition to the

dishware.

• Use only

dishwasher detergent.

• Place cutlery and other sharp objects so that

they cannot cause injury, or damage to the app-

liance.

• Do not touch the heating element at the bot-

tom of the dishwasher - it is very hot during and

PULL-LATCH (FULLY INTEGRATED MACHINES ONLY)

The machine will stop if the door is opened

during operation. However, since the machine

is fitted with a pull-latch, splashing may occur

if the door is opened too quickly. Therefore,

unlatch the door carefully and wait until the

spray arms have stopped rotating before ope-

ning fully.

OVERFILL PROTECTION

The overfill protection starts the drain pump

and switches off the water inlet if water rises

above the normal level. If the overfill protec-

tion becomes activated, turn off the water supply

and call for service.

CLEANING

for a period following the dishwashing process.

Never place items containing remains of sol-

vents in the machine, ie, danger of explosion.

Dishware containing ashes, wax or lubricating

grease may not be washed in the machine.

Place objects made of wood or plastic in the

upper basket, ie, so that they do not fall down

onto the heating element at the bottom of the

machine (fire hazard).

INSTALLATION

See the enclosed instructions for installation.

TRANSPORT/WINTER STORAGE

Transport the machine in an upright position or

lying on its back. Drain off all water from the

drain pump and the inlet valve if the machine is

Use only a damp cloth to clean the edge around

the door. Do not use a spray. Water can enter

the lock and come into contact with the elec-

tric components.

WRAPPINGS

Sort the wrapping material according to recom-

mendations by the local authorities.

DISPOSAL

When the machine is no longer useful and is to

be scrapped it should be made unusable. Dis-

connect and cut off the electric cable close to

the machine.

Get in touch with the refuse collection service

or your local authorities for advice on how to

scrap the machine in a proper manner.

To open the door, hold the catch with your

left hand and pull the main catch with your right

CHILD-SAFE DISHWASHING

Use the knife basket, or the knife rack, for all

long or sharp items. If this feature is not fitted,

put such objects in the cutlery basket with the

sharp edge downwards.

Always close the door and start the program-

me as soon as you have filled with detergent.

Keep small children away from the machine

when it is open. There may be remains of deter-

gent left inside the machine.

Do not allow children to use or play with

the machine. Take particular care when the door

is open.

of children. If anyone swallows dishwasher de-

tergent, give plenty to drink immediately, ie, one

or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to

induce vomiting. Seek medical advice without

delay.

If dishwasher detergent gets in the eyes, rin-

se with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER FOR THE FIRST TIME

READ THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read through the operating instructions before

attempting to use the dishwasher, particularly

the sections: Safety, Children’s safety, and Basic

instructions.

BE CAUTIOUS WITH CERTAIN MATERIALS

Read the Delicate wash section before washing

any porcelain or china that has “on-glaze“ dec-

oration, or crystal glassware, or items made of

wood or plastic material.

CHECK THE DOOR SETTING

Ensure that the door of the machine is properly

balanced, ie, open it a little and release it. Does

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

it stop exactly where you released it? If not,

check the installation instructions or consult

the person responsible for the installation.

CHECK HARDNESS OF THE WATER

Call your local water company to find out what

degree of water hardness applies. This has signi-

ficance in relation to the amount of detergent

and rinse aid that should be dispensed.

IF YOUR MACHINE IS EQUIPPED WITH A WATER

SOFTENER

Set the softener when you know what degree of

water hardness applies, see Softener. Fill with

salt before starting the machine, see Salt.

The following step-by-step instructions will help

you to achieve the best possible results.

FILL THE BASKETS PROPERLY

Your dishwasher features the ASKO Super Cle-

aning System™.

After the pre-wash, the main wash is started

with clean water and a clean machine and the-

refore it is not necessary to rinse dishware befo-

re washing up.

However, remove large particles of food and

waste. This is convenient and environment

friendly.

Place glasses, cups, saucers and small plates

in the upper basket, with long-stemmed glasses

leaning against the recessed rack, and knives in

the knife rack if fitted.

N.B.

Position the soiled surfaces facing downwards

or inwards.

Place larger plates, dishes, pots, saucepans

and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower

9

basket. The detachable plate rack that is supp-

lied with some models can easily be lifted out to

provide space for big plates, saucepans and pots,

or be fitted in one of the three different posi-

tions.

Place cutlery with the handles downwards

and spread out as much as possible. Make cer-

tain that spoons do not “nest“ with each other.

Avoid placing cutlery made of different ma-

terials in the same compartment, eg, silver and

stainless because of the risk of discolouration.

The cutlery basket has a folding cover in the

middle, which can be used to protect small items

or in which to insert slender handles, eg, electric

DOSING THE DETERGENT

The amount of detergent used should be in re-

lation to hardness of the water.

Follow the instructions on the detergent

packet. If your dishwasher is equipped with a

softener, use the dose recommended for soft

water.

Pour detergent into the detergent compart-

ment. There is one space for pre-wash and one

for main wash, see Dispenser. Call the maker of

the detergent if you have any questions concer-

ning the detergent.

whisks.

Put long cutlery and knives in the special

knife basket, if fitted, or in the upper basket.

Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

See Delicate wash, if you wish to wash sensitive

WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive - Take care
to keep it out of reach of children.

CAUTION!

Use dishwasher detergent only.

Detergents intended for washing up by hand

are unsuitable and should not be used because

the lather would obstruct the working of the

machine.

SELECT A PROGRAMME

The easiest way is to choose a standard

dishwashing programme. Just press one of the

seven programme symbols, and the machine does

the rest. Or you can select the washing tempe-

Normal wash

Use this programm for normal washing. It is

devised for normally soiled glasses, cups and

saucers, plates, dishes, etc.

rature, number of rinses, heated drying, etc, your-

self. See Options.

If you used one of the standard programmes

for the previous wash, ie, Intensive-/Strong or

Normal wash, the machine will remember it and

all you have to do is press the Start push button

to get the same programme.

Intensive wash

Use the intensive wash programme for very

dirty ware, such as pots, pans, casseroles and

gratin forms mixed with normal household

wash-up.

Strong wash

Light wash

If the wash is not particularly heavily soiled. It

is provided for china, which are very slightly

dirty.

Quick wash

Use this programme if items are very slightly

soiled. It is intended for glasses and china that

have just been used and therefore do not requi-

re a more powerful programme.

Delicate ware

can be washed using the Quick-wash program-

me. Eliminate heated drying if you want to be

extra careful. See also, Delicate wash.

Use the Intensive wash programme for dirty

ware, such as pots and pans, and gratin forms.

The dishwasher can suitably be loaded with

other items if not completely filled.

11

Rinse and hold

For rinsing, with the intention of waiting until

the machine is full before washing.

If you stop the machine with the main power
switch

(or if there is a power failure) before the pro-

gramme is finished, the programme will conti-

nue from where it was interrupted when power

N.B.

If the power is turned off, or if the door is open

for more than two minutes, during the drying

phase, the programme will be reset.

AFTER WASHING

When the machine has stopped, it consumes

extremely little power. When the programme

has stopped the indication-lamps are lightning,

this shows that the programme is ready. To

switch it off completely, turn off the main po-

wer switch. Turn off the water tap if the mach-

ine is to be left unattended for a long period, eg,

during holidays.

as above. Close the door again.

Want to put more things in the dishwasher?

Open the door, and the machine will stop auto-

matically. Put the dishes in the machine, close

the door and the machine will continue where

it left off.

12

THE DISPLAY WINDOW

The display window has four functions. It can show the temperature, the fault indication, the

remaining programme time and the re-programming

SHOWS HOW MUCH PROGRAMME TIME REMAINS.

When a programme starts, the display shows the length of time it took when it was last run. As the

programme proceeds, the display counts down, showing the time remaining. Times can vary slightly

from one time to another, due to variations in the incoming water temperature etc.

NB! The programme time is not stored in the memory if you open the door, or if the machine has a

fault indication during the programme.

As the time proceeds, the time is counted down and the estimated time remaining is displayed . If the time

exceeds 60 minutes, the display alternates between the number of hours, followed by h, and the number of

minutes: e.g. 1h–25–1h–25, which says that 1 hour and 25 minutes remain of the programme.

NOTE!

If the machine is connected to a coldwater suply, the time display for remaining time will be incorrect the

first time that each programme is run. The timo on the display stops on 1 minute until the programme is

done. Do not open the door until the machine has stopped.

On subsequent runs of the respective programmes, the machine will calculate the time on the basis of how

long the programme took on the previous run. The figures are approximated.

you want hours´ delay (1–12 hours). Then press

the Start pushbutton. The number of hours´

delay you have set, is displayed in the window.

Pressing the the pushbutton a thirteenth time

will reset the number of hours tp zero.

ECO/BIO FUNCTION

The Eco/Bio function reduces temperature of

the main wash to 50°C and extends duration of

the washing phase by 15 minutes. This saves

energy. Use the Eco/Bio function to give the

right temperature when using detergents con-

taining enzymes.

FAN

Press this button if you want the fan to cool

down the dishes during thirty minutes after the

drying sequence.

TEMPERATURE OPTION

The Temperature option allows you to choose

a washing temperature, as follows:

INTENSIVE, STRONG WASH

AND NORMALWASH: 75/70/65/ 55°C

LIGHT AND QUICK WASH: 65/55/45°C

The lamp lights if you choose the higher tempe-

rature. Your choice remains in the programme

until it is altered. N.B. 45°C is not saved.

DRYING HEAT

The drying heat button lights if drying heat is

selected. Press again if you want a programme

without drying heat, and the lamp will go out.

The fan dries the dishware even if heat is not

switched on. Not in Quick wash.

ECO WASH

CHOOSE ECONOMY WASH

Press the E-button to reduce temperature of

the main wash to 50°C. Duration of the main

washing phase will be extended by 15 minutes

to compensate the lower temperature. Deter-

gents that contain enzymes are more efficient

at lower temperature and in longer washing pro-

grammes.

WASH ONLY WHEN FULL

If dishware is only lightly soiled you can suita-

bly reduce the temperature for Intensive-/

Strong and Normal wash to 55°C, and Light-/

SELECT A PROGRAMME WITHOUT DRYING HEAT

If you choose an Intensive-/Strong -/Normal or

Light wash programme without drying heat, the

machine will dry using the fan only. When wash-

ing is completed, leave the door ajar to speed

up the drying process by allowing moist air to

escape.

AVOID RINSING BEFORE WASHING

Thanks to the Super Cleaning System™, you

do not need to rinse your dishes under running

water before putting them in the dishwasher.

The machine always starts the main wash with

clean water and a clean machine.

USE AN ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY DETERGENT

Study the environment information on the packet.

Quick wash to 45°C.

CONNECT TO COLD WATER SUPPLY

If the machine is connected to a cold water

supply, running time will be longer because hea-

ting of the water will take longer. The longer

washing phase allows you to run a programme

at a lower washing temperature and still get the

same results.

However, if you are connected to a district

heating supply it will probably be more econo-

mical to connect the dishwasher to the hot wa-

ter supply.

17

DELICATE AND SENSITIVE DISHWARE

For a variety of reasons, some articles are unsu-

itable for machine washing. Some materials can-

not withstand high temperature, others can be

damaged by dishwasher detergents.

SENSITIVE DECORATION

China that has “on-glaze“ decoration (feels a

little rough) should not be machine washed.

GLASSWARE/CRYSTAL

Position the items so that they do not knock

against one another. Use the lowest dishwash-

ing temperature and the shortest possible pro-

gramme. No drying heat. Antique objects and

very delicate items should not be machine was-

hed.

Glasses that are washed in a dishwasher at

high temperature can in time permanently loose

their lustre. Wash glasses at 45°C and a small

CUTLERY WITH BONDED HANDLES

Some types of adhesive cannot withstand mach-

ine washing, ie, cutlery handles are likely to

loosen.

WOODEN ITEMS

Wooden items should only be machine washed

if especially recommended.

ALUMINIUM

Aluminium can be dulled by machine washing.

However, good quality aluminium saucepans

can be machine washed, although you must ex-

pect their polished finish to be affected.

PLASTIC MATERIAL

Some plastic materials cannot withstand the

high temperature used in a dishwasher.

amount of detergent.

SILVER

Silver and stainless steel items should not be

allowed to touch each other because the silver

could otherwise become stained.

To protect plastic items

Select a low-temperature programme, 55°C

without heat drying. Place the objects in the

upper basket away from the heating element.

machine if the water is hard. If this happens,

run a Normal wash programme with two table-

spoonful of citric acid in the detergent compart-

ment.

Coarse filter

The coarse filter catches larger particles of food

that would otherwise tend to clog the drain

pump. Lift out the coarse filter and clean as

required. Remember to put it back into place.

Fine filter

Remains caught by the fine filter are flushed

away automatically each time the machine is

used. Clean the fine filter a few times a year. To

release the fine filter, screw out the tubular part

and lift it and the coarse filter straight up. Cle-

an using a dishbrush. When replacing the fine

filter, ensure that its edges seal properly.

Drain pump

The pump can be reached from inside the mach-

ine. First remove the coarse filter, fine filter and

tubular part. Then remove the small black adap-

ting piece to the left in the bottom drain.

There you can reach the pump blade and

remove any obstruction. Fit the adapting piece,

the filters and the tubular part back into place.

WARNING

Don’t forget to fit the adapting piece.

20

Spray arms

Spray-arm jets and bearings may sometimes

become clogged. Screw off the nut and take off

the washer on top of the spray arm and lift off

the arm. Poke out any obstructions with a ske-

wer or other suitable pointed tool. The spray-

arm jets face downwards.

Door

To clean the edge round the door, use only a

damp rag and possibly a little detergent. To pre-

vent penetration of water into the door lock

and electrical components, do not use a spray

of any kind.

WARNING

Do not use a spray of any kind close to the door lock.

21

RINSE AID

The rinse-aid indicating lamp on the panel will light when
the rinse-aid container becomes empty.* Not all machines
are fitted with the indicating lamp.

TOPPING UP WITH RINSE AID

Drying will be faster if you use rinse aid. The

rinse-aid indicating lamp on the panel will light

when the rinse-aid container becomes empty.*

There is also an indicator on the dispenser. See

the figure. There is sufficient rinse aid available

if the indicator is completely black. If the size

of the black dot is reduced, the container should

be topped up. Turn and lift the lid of the rinse-

aid container, to the right of the dispenser, and

Open

fill with rinse aid until the indicator is comple-

tely black. Adjust the amount of rinse aid needed

for each run as required in accordance with the

instructions below. Remember to close the lid.

CHOOSE THE DOSE

The dispenser is normally set at 1, but it may be

necessary to adjust depending on hardness of

the water.

Open the rinse-aid lid to gain access to the

setting knob of the dispenser. Set between 1 and

6, ie, the harder the water the higher the setting.

If the water supply in your area indicates

hardness higher than 10 to 12°dH, a rinse aid

containing citric acid (acidic rinse-aid) should

preferably be used, ie, if the machine is not equip-

ped with its own water softener. Set the dispen-

ser for soft water if your machine has a softener.

Excessive use of rinse aid can result in lather.

If the water in your area is very soft, you can

22

suitably dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount

of water.

Too much rinse aid will cause streaks on the

dishware, while too little may result in drying

marks.

SALT

The salt indicating lamp on the panel will light when there
is no salt left. Not all machines are fitted with the indicating
lamp. In such cases a green indicator is fitted on the lid of
the salt container, see arrow.

Applies to dishwashers with water softener only.

FILLING WITH SALT

The salt compartment must be filled with salt

before using a machine that is equipped with a

water softener. Use coarse salt or regenerating

salt that is especially intended for dishwashers.

The salt should preferably be filled just be-

fore running the dishwasher because it is neces-

sary to rinse the machine directly after filling.

Proceed as follows the first time: Unscrew

the lid of the salt container, as illustrated. Insert

Lock till saltbehållaren

*N.B.

After refilling, there may be some delay before

the indicating lamp goes out.

the funnel, supplied with the dishwasher, into

the filler hole. Pour in about one litre of water

and then enough salt to fill the container, max.

1.5 kg. Wipe away any spilled salt, so that the lid

will seal properly, and screw on the lid firmly.

SETTING THE WATER LEVEL

The machine takes in a suitable amount of water when the level reaches the mark on the lower spray

pipe bearing, see illustration. Check the level by opening the door after about 2 minutes during a

Normal programme. If there is insufficient water in the machine it may be due to extremely low

pressure of the water supply, in which case the input time can be modified. Some models are level

controlled, ie, the machine senses itself when the level is correct (but you can alter the level as follows

if you wish).

TROUBLE SHOOTING - DISHWASHING RESULTS

FAULT - POOR WASHING PERFORMANCE
Possible causes

1. Rotation of spray arms prevented by protruding object. Check also that jets in the spray arms are

not clogged.

2. Spray arms slowed down by impurities in the bearings. Spin the arms by hand and if they do not

spin freely lift them off and wipe the fittings clean.

3. Insufficient flow of water in the machine. Check the inlet hose for kinks or sharp bends. Water

pressure may be too low, compensate by increasing the intake time, see Settings.

4. Deteriorated detergent. Do not use old or caked detergent. Keep the detergent dry and cool in a

closed pack. Remember that detergent is perishable. Avoid large packs.

5. Inferior detergent. Try a different one.

6. Unsuitable dosing of detergent. Ensure that the dose suits hardness of the water.

7. The fine filter is not fitted properly. If it is soiled, clean it.

8. Wash programme is too weak. Change to a more intensive programme and higher temperature.

9. Dishware not arranged properly. Make certain that soiled parts face downwards and inwards.

If washing results continue to be unsatisfactory, it is possible to make an improvement by program-

ming the machine to give an extra rinse, see Settings.

FAULT - GREY FILM OR MARKS ON WASHED DISHWARE
Possible causes

To establish the cause of the grey film make a test using distilled water: Pour on a few drops, rub

thoroughly and dry. Clean? If so, the cause can be one of the following:

• Water level is too low. Adjust, see Settings.

• Inadequate drain pumping. Adjust, see Settings.

• Glasses and cups have tipped over. Adjust, see Settings.

• Salt leaking from the softener. Make certain the lid is tight, otherwise call for service.

• Rinse-aid dispenser incorrectly set. Adjust, see Rinse aid.

Not cleaned with distilled water? Test using citric acid: Dissolve 1 tsp citric acid in 1 dl boiling water.

Pour on a few drops, rub thoroughly and dry.

Did citric acid make it clean? If so, the fault can be one of the following:

• Malfunctioning or incorrectly set softener. Adjust, see Settings.

• Wrong type of salt. Replace the salt.

• Salt container is empty. Refill, see Salt.

28

• Very hard water. Compensate with acidic rinse aid.

Still not clean after testing with citric acid?

• The cause is probably temperature that is too high and/or too much detergent. This type of film, or

etching, cannot be remedied, only prevented. Wash glasses at low temperature and dispense the

amount detergent with care, and avoid heated drying. Consult the maker of the detergent.

FAULT - DISHWARE HAS STICKY WHITE/BLUE FILM
Possible causes

Concentration of rinse aid is too high. Modify the dose, see Rinse aid. If the water is very soft it may

be suitable to dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water, see Rinse aid.

FAULT - STAINS ON SILVER OR STAINLESS STEEL
Possible causes

Some remains of food, eg, mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt or dressing can cause stains on

stainless steel if left for too long. Rinse away this type of substance if the machine is not to be run

straight away. All types of stainless steel can result in stains on silver if contact is made while being

washed.

Aluminium can result in marks on other objects if contact is made while being washed.

FAULT - STAINS NOT WASHED OFF
Possible cause

Detergent that does not contain chlorine (recommended to protect the environment) may be unable

to remove severe stains, eg, lipstick, tea stains.

FAULTS - MISCELLANEOUS

Knocking sound while the machine is running - spray arms hitting protruding objects.

Rattling noises while the machine is running - dishware not properly arranged.

Dishware is not dried - programme without drying was selected or insufficient dose of rinse aid, see

Rinse aid.

29

TROUBLE SHOOTING - DISHWASHER

If the machine does not work, check first to find out if the reason is a simple fault that you can remedy

yourself. Try to locate the fault with the aid of the following description. Try the trouble-shooting

programme also, see Fault indications.

FAULT - DISHWASHER WILL NOT START
Possible causes

1. Main switch is OFF.

2. Door not properly closed.

3. Fuse has blown.

4. Power supply plug not plugged in.

5. Water tap not opened.

FAULT - WATER REMAINS IN THE MACHINE

The drain pump will start automatically if the machine takes in too much water. If water is not

pumped out, the fault may be due to one of the following reasons:

Possible causes

1. Drain hose is clogged. Make certain that there is nothing blocking the connection of the drain hose

to the sink drain trap. Waste can fasten at the end of the connecting pipe. Check also that the tapered

connecting pipe is cut so that the inside diameter is as large as possible, but at least 18 mm.

2. Kink in the drain hose. Check the hose to eliminate any kinks or sharp bends.

3. Filters are clogged. Clean the tubular strainer, coarse filter and fine filter.

4. Drain pump is clogged. Clean the pump.

5. Ensure that the black adapting piece is correctly fitted on the left in the bottom drain by the drain

pump.
