Child lock

You can activate the Automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher.

See the chapter Settings. You can also temporarily activate and deactivate the Child lock function.

Press and hold and for three seconds.

Installation

See the chapter Installation.

Overflow guard

The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level in

the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water)

appears on the display. Turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. (To avoid

water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water

tap on the supply line has been turned off!)

Winter storage/Transport

Store the dishwasher above freezing temperature and avoid long transport distances in very cold

weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Handle the front corners of the dishwasher with care so that they do not get bent, which can affect

door opening.

Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed

from the machine. Run the Self-cleaning program.

Packaging

The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable.

Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer

can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging

is comprised of:

•Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.

•Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.

•Supports made from untreated wood.

•Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).

Safety instructions

Disposal

The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher has reached the

end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the

power cable and cut it as short as possible. Remove the light source/light sources.

Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly

recycled.

Safety instructions

Water hardness

In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral

content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.

Checking water hardness

Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of

water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).

A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l) must be softened.

This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener

to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you

have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft

water.

Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Make a note of the water hardness:____________

Recommended settingmmol/l°eH°fH°dH

00.0-0.90-60-90-5

11.0-1.47-1010-146-8

21.5-2.011-1415-209-11

32.1-2.515-1821-2512-14

42.6-3.419-2426-3415-19

53.5-4.325-3035-4320-24

64.4-5.231-3644-5225-29

75.3-7.037-4953-7030-39

87.1-8.850-6171-8840-49

98.9628950

If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an

external water softener.

Increased consumption during regeneration

The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration

extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often

the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting.

Example: If the Eco program is run with a water hardness of 14°dH (25°fH / 18°eH / 2.5 mmol/l), the

water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 6 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption

increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is

extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program’s main wash.

Before washing for the first time

WARNING!

Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important

that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness.

Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness

in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l).

Basic settings

Open the door. Press .

"Welcome to your new ASKO dishwasher. This is a first time setup." is shown on the display. It

is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results.

Select setting with or . Confirm selected setting with .

Settings

Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use

rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result

with clear and spotless dishes.

Rinse aid 0/1/2/3/4/5

Pre-selected at factory: 4

The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted between 0 (Off)

and 5 (High dosage).

Adjusting the water softener. Select a setting depending on

the hardness of the water supply. It is important that this

setting is correct!

Water hardness

0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

Pre-selected at factory: 4

For a water supply with a hardness below 6°dH (10°fH /

7°eH / 1.0 mmol/l), select 0. The water softener is

deactivated and no salt needs to be added.

Activate this setting when using an all-in-one detergent that

contains rinse aid.

TAB On/Off

Pre-selected at factory: Off

This setting reduces the rinse aid dosage and affects how

often the dishwasher's built-in softener is regenerated.

Activate this setting if you want to use automatic dosing of

detergent.

Auto dose 0 ml - 40 ml

Pre-selected at factory: 0 ml

(Off)

The exact dosage depends on which program is running.

For the Auto program, the dosage also depends on how

dirty the dishes are.

To change the selected setting, see the chapter Settings.

Before washing for the first time

Top up rinse aid

Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 1 - 5.

Lift up to open

Press to close

1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.

2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.

3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.

4. Close the lid firmly.

Top up salt

Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 1 - 9.

1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise.

2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. First, pour

in about 1 l of water.

3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 750 gram). Use special dishwasher salt.

4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.

WARNING!

In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding

salt.

Before washing for the first time

Top up auto dose

Fill the automatic dosing compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have activated the Auto

dose setting.

Lift up to open

1. Open the lid of the automatic dosing compartment for dishwasher detergent gel.

2. Carefully add dishwasher detergent gel to the level marked MAX.

3. Clean up any excess dishwasher detergent gel outside the compartment.

4. Close the lid firmly.

NOTE!

Use only dishwasher detergent gel in the automatic dosing compartment! Do not use dishwasher

detergent powder. Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the

dishwasher from operating effectively.

Some thick dishwasher detergent gels are not suitable for the automatic dosing compartment.

Add very thick dishwasher detergent gel into the manual detergent compartment. See the detergent

manufacturer's recommendations.

Dishwasher detergent gel has a milder formula than dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one

detergent with bleaching agent. This means that dishwasher detergent gel may prove less effective

at removing stains caused by, for example, lipstick and tea/coffee. If necessary, on such occasions

dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one detergent with bleaching agent can be added to the

manual detergent compartment (when Auto dose is activated). See Add detergent.

Dosing of dishwasher detergent gel

Dishwasher detergent gel is dispensed during the main wash for all programs except Self-cleaning.

A little extra dishwasher detergent gel is also dispensed during the prewash in the following programs:
