Features

Super Cleaning
Rinse the dishes. Clean the interior, including the filter. Choose the best program. How many steps is that? One – and we call it the Super Cleaning System – or our best invention.

8 Steel - More Steel Less Plastic
No other material lasts as long as steel. And no other dishwashers have as many details made from steel instead of plastic as ASKO dishwashers. In fact, eight of the most important components in our dishwashers are made of high-quality steel rather than plastic: the container, loading racks, spray pipe, spray arms, strainers, outer base, feet, and inner door. By using more steel and less plastic, we make our machines last longer.

Turbo Combi Drying
Turbo Combi Drying benefits from both the innovative Turbo Drying system and natural drying with dry indoor air. Our Turbo Drying system begins the drying process and is followed with the door automatically opening to finish the drying with indoor air.

Aqua Safe
Do you hesitate to leave the dishwasher on while you are not at home? Aqua Safe system is an advanced safety system which ensures a leak-safe dishwasher day and night.

Flexiracks
ASKO Flexiracks from sturdy, nylon-coated steel and are easily adjustable in different heights depending on which type of load you have.

XL Dishwashers
Our XL dishwashers have a loading height of 21-1/4". Combined with the smart four-level rack system, the load is 40% more, with countless possibilities to make it all fit in.

Self Cleaning
ASKO’s dishwashers have a Self-cleaning program to ensure that all vital parts are thoroughly cleaned. Use a recommended cleaning agent and the program on a regular basis for the best results.

Top Cutlery Tray
The top tray for cutlery and kitchen utensils is easy to remove for easy unloading. With a width of 12-3/4", the centered tray leaves plenty of room for tall wine glasses in the upper rack on each side of the tray. And with the Instant Lift, you have the freedom to adjust the upper rack to be 1-1/2" or 2-1/4".

Time Program
When you need clean plates in a hurry, just tell the machine how dirty the dishes are and how much time you have. The program then adjusts washing and rinsing to match your needs.

Status Light
ASKO’s new generation dishwashers have Status Light - a small light placed in the bottom right corner to let you know the actual status of the program.

Brushless Motor
A brushless motor is not only quieter and more reliable but also consumes less energy. You want your dishwasher to work forever. So do we.

Speed Mode
When you need to get things cleaned in a hurry, the Speed mode is useful. It saves up to 50% of the normal time by using more water and increased heating.

Night Mode
Night mode reduces the noise by 2 dB thanks to lower pressure in the spray arm. Perfect at night or in a house with an open-plan living area.

Quick Wash
The Quick Wash program washes lightly soiled glasses, decanters, coffee cups, etc., efficiently and leaves your kitchenware as spotless as you want them to be.

Rinse & Hold
The Rinse and Hold program allows you to avoid dried leftovers while you wait for the dishwasher to get fully loaded. Saves time and energy over time.

Aqua Level Sensor
The Aqua Level Sensor ensures an optimized water level, even if a bowl turns over and is filled with water. It also keeps the machine from starting if the water is turned off.

Aqua Detect Sensor
The Aqua Detect Sensor monitors the inlet valves and the water level while the machine operates. For safety reasons, the drain pump’s capacity is five times the inlet valve’s.

Power Zone Cutlery
Power Zone Cutlery is a special nozzle spray zone for the cutlery basket that will make your cutlery dazzling clean. And, there is a similar nozzle for the knife basket.

Kid Safe
To stop small fingers from starting the dishwasher, the Kid Safe makes the control panel easy to lock. This also prevents altering any settings by mistake.

Anti Siphon
For our fully integrated dishwashers, the Anti-siphon solution safely keeps the water inside the machine. This is especially important if the dishwasher is placed above floor level.

InstantLift
Our InstantLift height adjustment system allows for freeing up between 1-1/2" or 2-1/4" in the upper rack. A simple and flexible way to make room for it all.

1. Clean and Maintain the Water Softener

• Check Salt Level: Monitor the water softener’s salt level regularly and refill as needed with dishwasher salt. Low salt levels can reduce the effectiveness of the water softener and cause mineral buildup.
• Clean the Salt Container: Occasionally, check the salt container for debris or buildup. Clean it as necessary to maintain proper softening performance.

2. Regularly Clean the Filters

• Weekly Filter Cleaning: Remove the filter assembly weekly or after heavy use. Rinse it under warm water to clear any food particles or grease. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn debris.
• Check Filter Placement: Ensure that the filters are properly installed before running the dishwasher to prevent leaks or poor drainage.

3. Descale the Dishwasher

• Use Descaling Agents: If you live in an area with hard water, it’s important to run a descaling cycle every 2–3 months. Use a dishwasher-safe descaling product to remove mineral buildup from the internal components.
• Vinegar Cycle: You can also run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar to help dissolve mineral deposits.

4. Clean the Spray Arms

• Remove and Rinse: Periodically remove the spray arms and rinse them under warm water to clear any blockages from food particles or mineral buildup.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure the spray arms rotate freely after cleaning and reinstallation.

5. Maintain the Door Seal and Gasket

• Wipe the Gasket: Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to prevent mold or mildew buildup. Make sure there are no cracks or signs of wear, which could cause leaks.
• Inspect the Seal: Regularly inspect the door seal for wear and tear. Replace the gasket if it becomes damaged.

6. Run Cleaning Cycles

• Empty Cleaning Cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or white vinegar once a month to remove grease and odors from the internal parts of the dishwasher.
• Hot Water Setting: Use the hottest water setting during the cleaning cycle to ensure effective results.

7. Check and Clean the Drain

• Inspect for Clogs: Inspect the dishwasher drain and hose for clogs, food debris, or buildup. Use a soft cloth or small brush to clean it out.
• Clear Blockages: Ensure that nothing is obstructing the drain area to avoid water drainage issues.

8. Proper Loading

• Avoid Overloading: To ensure optimal cleaning, do not overload the dishwasher. Arrange dishes so that water can reach all surfaces.
• Proper Dish Placement: Place larger items on the bottom rack and smaller items on the top rack. Ensure that items do not block the spray arms.

9. Use High-Quality Detergent and Rinse Aid

• Use Recommended Detergents: Use high-quality, phosphate-free dishwasher detergents to ensure optimal cleaning.
• Rinse Aid: Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled to prevent water spots and streaks on dishes, especially with hard water.

10. Inspect Water Inlet and Hoses

• Check for Leaks: Periodically check the water inlet valve and hoses for any signs of leaks or wear.
• Replace Damaged Hoses: If you notice cracks or leaks in the hoses, replace them immediately to avoid water damage.

11. Maintain the Stainless Steel Exterior

• Clean the Exterior: Wipe the stainless-steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent fingerprints, streaks, or stains.
• Use Stainless-Steel Cleaner: For a polished finish, use a specialized stainless-steel cleaner to maintain the shine and prevent corrosion.
