Page 8 CARE AND CLEANING The interior of your ASKO dishwasher is made of surgical quality stainless steel that has been electropolished to make it the smoothest surface available. The smooth surface prohibits the accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the unit. If the water in your area is especially hard, however, lime deposits could form inside the machine. If this happens, you can remove them by putting two tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment and running a Normal program. In extremely hard water areas you may need to repeat this process a few times to remove hard water deposits. CLEANING THE FILTERS FILTERS For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter. In hard water areas, it may be necessary to clean chemical buildup from the filters every 12 to 18 months. Main filter Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain. To do this, remove the coarse filter by squeezing the tabs and lifting it out. Next, unscrew the fine filter and lift it and the main filter out. Simply scrape off large particles and load the dishes. Use the Heavy Wash or Pots and Pans program only for heavily soiled dishes. Don't use temperatures above 130°F for lightly soiled dishes. Use the Express option when washing only slightly soiled loads. Use the "Economy" drying option. (You can speed up the drying process by opening the door slightly to release the moist air. ) SOLUTIONS DISHWASHING PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS As with any new appliance, it sometimes takes using it a few times to learn to operate it properly.
