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 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 (150° F or 130° F)
For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans, use the
Normal wash program
with normal temperature and normal drying .
To save more water and energy use economy temperature and economy drying.
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 economy
and dry the dishes with economy drying.
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
normal temperature, the main wash is heated to the higher temperature for the selected program. If it is set to low
(economy temperature), the main wash is heated to the lower temperature. The indicator light will glow only when the
normal temperature is selected.
Drying
The dishwasher has two drying levels Economy and Normal. When you want to have the maximum drying result you
activate the Normal option. That will increase the last rinse temperature to 160°F to heat the dishes and tank before the
drying cycle starts. The indicator light will glow only when this option is activated.
