Asko D1716 - User Manual

Quick Start Guide
We know you’re excited about owning an ASKO dishwasher and you’re anxious to get started, so here’s a brief summary of the operation
procedures. The page references in this Guide refer to the Use and Care Guide. To get the most out of your dishwasher’s features, we
recommend that you read the Use and Care Guide.
CHANGING A PROGRAMCHANGING A PROGRAM
If you decide to change the program after you have started the machine, simply turn the control knob to the desired program. The machine
will drain so the new program will start with clean water. (Note: You should not change a program once it is in the main wash cycle.)
AMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USEAMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USE
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.
PROGRAMS AND OPTIONSPROGRAMS AND OPTIONS
To select a program, simply turn the control knob to the appropriate program number. Select Temperature and Heated fan dry by
pressing or releasing the buttons, as indicated on the control panel.

For the heaviest soiled loads, such as pots, pans,
casseroles, etc.
Normal
For normally soiled loads, such as plates,
glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.
Light
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 Temp boost to Low and the
Heat dry to off.

A shorter wash program for lightly soiled loads,
such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled
pans.
If this button is set on Hi (released), the main
wash and final rinse are heated to 150° F. If it is
set to Lo (depressed), the main wash and final
rinses are heated to 130° F.
Releasing this button activates the heating
element for a short period after the final rinse to
dry the dishes faster.
