The filter is clogged. See "Cleaning the Filters" on page 9. 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. To do this, remove the coarse filter by squeezing the tabs and lifting it out. (See Fault Messages on page 8. ) ENERGY SAVING ENERGY SAVING TIPS If you plan to wash the dishes right away, there's no need to pre-rinse. Simply scrape off large particles and load the dishes. Use the Pots & Pans and Heavy wash programs only for heavily soiled dishes. Don't use the high temperature for lightly soiled dishes. (You can speed up the drying process by opening the door slightly to release the moist air. ) Page 10 SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS SOLUTIONS DISHWASHING PROBLEMS As with any new appliance, it sometimes takes using it a few times to learn to operate it properly. If you are having minor performance problems with your dishwasher, read this section before calling for service. It may save you time and unnecessary expense. NOTE: ASKO has no control over what is put in our appliances once installed in a customer's home. You are solely responsible for what you wash in your ASKO dishwasher. Poor washing performance The dishes may not be loaded properly. Make sure that soiled surfaces are facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher. Also, make sure that the bowls, pots, etc. , are not stacked so closely that water can't reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure you are using the appropriate program settings for the dirtiness of your dishes. [. . . ] Do not mix different types of stainless steel in the same load. Unless marked "Dishwasher Safe" by the manufacturer. Wood can warp, crack or lose shape with any kind of washing.
