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.

The machine is made and marked for recycling.

CHILDREN’S SAFETY

CHILD-SAFE STOPPING AND STARTING

To stop a dishwashing programme, the stop

button must be pressed for three seconds. This

delay is integrated.

To prevent the machine from being started

by mistake by a child, it is possible to program-

me a similar delay in the starting mode, see Set-

tings.

MACHINE WITH CHILD-SAFETY LOCK?

To activate the child-safety lock, if fitted, lift

and turn the screw slot with a screwdriver to a

horizontal position. The screw slot is located

to the left of the handle. Reset by turning the

slot to its vertical position.

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.

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.

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

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.
