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 this guide and the Use and Care Guide before using the dishwasher.

PROGRAMS
To select a program, simply press the program button until the indicator light behind the desired program glows. The programs are
described below:
Heavy Wash (160° F or 130° F)
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc.
Normal Wash (130° F or 140° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.
Quick (85° F or 120° F)
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 temperature to
low and dry the dishes without heat.
Rinse and hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.
Temperature
The dishwasher has two temperature options for each wash program, as shown above. When this button is set on the high
temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low, the main wash
is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the high temperature is selected.
