Read the "Washing Special Items" section before washing any porcelain or china that has "on-glaze" decoration, crystal glassware, or items of wood or plastic. Make sure the door is properly balanced. [. . . ] Should you find something, simply scoop it out then replace the adaptor piece and the filters. To reach an item caught in the drain pump, remove the filters then the small black insert in the sump area. WARNING!Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. WARNING!Be sure to replace the adaptor piece before you put the filters back in. PRO OVERFILL PROTECTION Your ASKO dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve and circulation pump and starts the drain pump if the water level in the unit should rise above the normal level. When an overfill is detected, the Normal wash light will flash. If this happens, turn the water off at the main supply and call for service. If there is water in the base pan due to an overfill or small leak, the water must be removed before the dishwasher will start. 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 Heavy wash program 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 9 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. An item may be obstructing the spray arm rotation. With the baskets loaded and in place, manually turn the spray arms to make sure they move freely. Your dishwasher detergent should be fresh and stored tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Old or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. Wait until you are ready to start the dishwasher to add the detergent. Your dishwasher detergent may be inferior.
