This document is an operating manual for an ASKO Dishwasher, model DB1663 S. It provides comprehensive information on its function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description:

The ASKO DB1663 S is a dishwasher designed for washing dishes, cutlery, and other kitchenware. It offers various programs and modes to accommodate different levels of soiling and types of items, aiming for efficient and effective cleaning and drying. Key functions include:

  • Dishwashing Programs: A range of programs such as Normal wash, ECO wash, Sanitation wash, Time program, Rinse and hold, Plastic wash, Hygiene wash, Crystal glass, Self-cleaning, Upper half, and Lower half. These programs are tailored for specific needs, from daily use to specialized cleaning for delicate items or heavily soiled pots.
  • Program Modes: Options like Green mode (for energy and water saving), Speed mode (for shorter wash times), Night mode (for quieter operation), and Intensive mode (Heat Boost for improved results).
  • Options: Additional features such as Extra Dry (heated drying for better results) and Delayed Start (to postpone the wash cycle).
  • Safety Features: Includes an overflow guard function that pumps out water and turns off the supply if the water level exceeds normal, and a child lock (Kid Safe™) to prevent unintended starts.
  • Self-cleaning: A dedicated program for sanitizing the dishwasher tub, spray arms, and pipes, which can be run with regular detergent or citric acid.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Dimensions:
    • Height: 32 3/4 - 34 7/8 inches (adjustable; 32 1/4 inches for ADA compliance with trim kit removal).
    • Width: 24 inches (or 23 5/8 inches/600 mm for European widths with trim kit removal).
    • Depth: 22 inches.
  • Weight: 100 lb (45 kg), though weight can vary by specifications.
  • Water Pressure: 4.2-140 psi.
  • Water Supply Temperature: Can be connected to cold water or hot water (max. 160 °F / 70 °C). Hot water connection can reduce dishwashing times and energy consumption.
  • Electrical Connection: Information is on the serial number plate; requires an appropriate outlet and grounding.

Usage Features:

  • Display Panel: Features a main power switch, program mode selector, navigation buttons, and options for Delayed Start and Extra Dry. The display shows current settings and program status.
  • First-Time Setup: Guides the user through initial settings like language and rinse aid dosage, which are crucial for optimal dishwashing results.
  • Loading Baskets: Includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. Instructions are provided for optimal loading, including placing dirty surfaces down, angling hollow items, and ensuring spray arms can rotate freely. Special considerations for fragile items, silver, aluminum, and cutlery with glued handles are noted.
  • Detergent and Rinse Aid: Separate compartments for prewash and main wash detergent. Emphasizes using only dishwasher detergent and adjusting dosage based on water hardness. Rinse aid improves wash and dry times and prevents spots. The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted from 0 (Off) to 5 (High dosage).
  • Starting/Stopping Programs: Simple button presses for starting, stopping, or changing programs. The dishwasher automatically pauses if the door is opened during a program.
  • Adding Dishes Mid-Cycle: Possible by opening the door, adding dishes, then pressing Start/Stop and closing the door within four seconds.
  • Best Drying Results: Tips include fully loading, angling hollow dishes, topping up rinse aid, activating Extra Dry, and opening the door slightly after the program finishes.
  • Unloading: Recommended to unload the lower basket first to prevent water drops from the upper basket.

  • Door and Door Seal Cleaning: Regular cleaning with a slightly damp cloth is recommended.

Each problem is linked to possible causes and recommended actions.
