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.

Wash all three filters gently in hot, soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. 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. Fine filter This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle. Coarse filter Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out. CLEANING THE DOOR To clean the edge around the door, use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface. WARNING!

And never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Also, some paper towels can scratch or leave marks on the stainless steel surface. Page 9 CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP On occasion something may get through the filters and into the drain pump. The drain pumps on ASKO dishwashers are designed to automatically reverse if anything should get caught in the propellers, thus ejecting the item back into the sump area or down the drain. Should you need to remove an obstacle from the drain, first turn the power off then remove the filters (as explained on page 9). Next, lift out the adaptor piece on the left side of the sump area. (You might want to remove any standing water first. ) You can then look into the sump area for the item causing the obstruction. You may need to use your finger to move the pump blade and loosen the object. Should you find something, simply scoop it out then replace the adaptor piece and the filters. Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. To reach an item caught in the drain pump, remove the filters then the small black insert in the sump area. WARNING!Be sure to replace the adaptor piece before you put the filters back in. 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. 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.
