Features

Super Cleaning System
Rinse the dishes, clean the interior (including the filter), and choose the best program. How many steps is that? One – and we call it the Super Cleaning System – 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.

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

Flexiracks
ASKO Flexiracks are made from sturdy, nylon-coated steel and are easily adjustable in height, depending on the type of load you have.

XXL Dishwashers
Our XXL dishwashers have a loading height of 23 inches. Combined with the smart four-level rack system, the load is 40% more, offering countless possibilities to make it all fit in.

Crystal Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal or glass, such as crystal from Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program designed specifically for crystal glass.

LightLock
Light plastic cans and bowls can easily flip over and fill with water. The LightLock smart fixation helps them retain their position throughout the program.

Self Cleaning
ASKO dishwashers feature a self-cleaning program to ensure that all vital parts are thoroughly cleaned. Use a recommended cleaning agent and run the program regularly for the best results.

Vase/Bottle Holder
Our special holder for tall, narrow objects like baby bottles and vases is combined with a special power zone that ensures perfect cleaning results.

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

Eco Wash
Use this setting when you want to save water and energy. It’s perfect for normally soiled loads, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, and glasses.

Status Light
ASKO’s new generation dishwashers feature a Status Light, a small light placed in the bottom right corner to indicate the current status of the program.

Brushless Motor
A brushless motor is not only quieter and more reliable but also consumes less energy. We want your dishwasher to work for years, and so do you.

LED Interior Light
The combination of outer and inner LED lights is designed for optimal intensity and durability, providing a clear view of the door area as well as the inside of the dishwasher.

Green Mode
The Green mode saves water and energy by lowering the temperature and extending the washing cycle, yet still delivers results just as perfect as the Normal program. Let’s go greener!

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

Night Mode
Reduces noise by 2 dB thanks to lower pressure in the spray arm. Perfect for nighttime use or in a house with an open-plan living area.

Auto Wash
ASKO’s Auto Wash, equipped with the SensiClean sensor, ensures the right temperature, washing cycle, and drying every time, regardless of what you’ve put in the machine.

Quick Pro Wash
Sometimes you need to reuse the same kitchenware in short intervals. The Quick Pro Wash program takes only half an hour, making it perfect for dinner parties or baking.

Plastic Wash
The Plastic program washes and dries your plastic kitchenware perfectly. If there’s space left, you can also wash ordinary porcelain and glass at the same time.

Lower Half Wash
The Lower Half Wash program sprays only the bottom half of the machine, using less water and energy. It’s a more environmentally friendly way to clean your plates and cutlery.

Upper Half Wash
The Upper Basket program sprays only the top part of the machine, using less water and energy than a standard program. This saves both time and resources.

Rinse & Hold
The Rinse and Hold program prevents dried leftovers while waiting for the dishwasher to be fully loaded, saving time and energy over time.

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

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

Power Zone Cutlery
A special nozzle spray zone for the cutlery basket ensures your cutlery comes out dazzlingly clean. There is also a similar nozzle for the knife basket.

Kid Safe
To prevent small fingers from starting the dishwasher, the Kid Safe feature makes the control panel easy to lock, also preventing accidental setting changes.

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 positioned above floor level.

Extra Wide Knife Stand
Our smart knife holders are found in the middle, upper, and top baskets. They are extra deep to ensure the blades remain steady and secure.

10 Spray
ASKO’s spray system consists of up to 10 effective spray zones to ensure a thoroughly clean load. In the lower rack, there are three power zones for the dirtiest items.

3 Level Rack
ASKO’s three-level rack system allows you to optimize loading. Remove, adjust, fold, and move the racks, pin rows, and cutlery rack to meet your needs.

Folding Tines
The foldable tines in the lower tray make it easy to load different sizes of pots and pans. Flexibility at its best.

Foldable Glass Support
Sometimes you need the space of the upper rack for items other than glasses. Fortunately, the tines here are foldable as well.

Telescopic Rails
ASKO uses telescopic guide rails with ball bearings for smooth and quiet rack movement. For easy loading and unloading, you can also remove the entire rack.

Removable Middle Rack
The Twin Tubes spray zone makes the middle rack ideal for lightly soiled glasses. It’s easy to remove if you need more space, and spray pressure is retained if the basket is removed.

2 Spray Arms
The two spray-arm technique reaches every corner, and with up to 10 highly effective spray zones, no dirt can escape – not even from your lasagna baking dish.

TouchProof
The ultra-thin, transparent TouchProof coating protects your dishwasher from stains and grease. Easy to clean and scratch-resistant, it will keep your dishwasher looking brand new year after year.

17 Piece Loading Capacity
With room for 17 place settings, you can fit larger pots and plates in the upper rack. Our XXL dishwashers have a four-level rack system, including a knife rack, upper rack, middle rack, and lower rack.

China Guard
Our China Guard ensures secure rotation of the upper spray arm.

15-3/4" Plates in Lower Rack
Our XXL dishwashers accommodate a 40 cm plate in the lower rack when the middle rack is removed and the upper rack is at its highest position.

Pop Out Door
When a program is completed, the Door Pop-Out function automatically opens the dishwasher door to release steam inside.

Knife Holders
Knives are sensitive, and so are fingers. That’s why we’ve designed our knife holder to be extra deep, ensuring blades remain steady throughout the wash cycle. Knife holders are available on three levels: middle basket, upper basket, and top basket, guaranteeing a clean cut.

Multi Position Glass Rack
The Multi Position Glass Rack is a practical rack that can be mounted in three different positions, depending on your needs.

Auto Dose - Demands Less of You
Through years of research, we have identified the exact amount of detergent needed to achieve consistently perfect cleaning results. That’s our job. We designed Auto Dose, which stores up to 30 days’ worth of detergent. This means you only need to fill it once a month. Just load your dishes, choose your program, and you’re ready to go. Hassle-free, as it should be.

Focus Points - A Hint of Nature
Opening the door of our new dishwasher reveals high-grade steel that might catch your attention first. Then, you may notice one of the machine’s many clever features, highlighted with a color that mimics the ways in which nature brings focus to things. Closing the door returns the machine to its place, where it doesn’t compete for space or attention – instead, it enhances your room.

Adjustable Power Zones
To enhance our already powerful cleaning system, we created two adjustable power zones with different spray patterns. The power zones can produce a concentrated high-pressure jet for tall, narrow objects like bottles and vases, or a wider spray for larger dishes, pots, and pans. There’s also a “bridging function” where both power zones are set to wide spray mode for very large dishes or utensils. The power zones can be manually operated, so simply switch them off when not in use.

Maintenance Tips

The Asko DFI776XXLSOF dishwasher, with its XXL tub, integrated water softener, and panel-ready design, offers enhanced cleaning performance and a sleek appearance. To ensure optimal performance and extend its lifespan, follow these essential maintenance tips:

1. Regularly Clean the Filters

• Weekly Cleaning: Remove the filter assembly and rinse it under warm water to clear food debris, grease, and any buildup. For stubborn residues, use a soft brush to scrub the filters gently.
• Reinstall Correctly: After cleaning, make sure to reinstall the filters properly to avoid leaks and ensure proper drainage and performance.

2. Descale the Dishwasher

• Descaling Frequency: Use a dishwasher-safe descaling agent every 2-3 months, especially in areas with hard water. This will help prevent mineral buildup on the heating element and other components, extending the life of your dishwasher.
• Vinegar Cycle: Occasionally, run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar to help dissolve mineral deposits and keep the system functioning efficiently.

3. Maintain the Water Softener

• Regeneration Salt: The built-in water softener helps prevent mineral buildup, but it needs to be replenished regularly. Check the salt level and refill the salt compartment when needed to ensure that the water softener is functioning properly.
• Use Appropriate Salt: Only use dishwasher-safe water softener salt, as other types may cause damage or inefficient softening.

4. Clean the Spray Arms

• Inspect for Clogs: Detach the spray arms and rinse them under warm water to remove food particles or mineral buildup. This ensures water flows freely from all spray holes.
• Ensure Free Rotation: After cleaning, check that the spray arms rotate freely for optimal water distribution during the wash cycle.

5. Maintain the Door Seal and Gasket

• Clean the Gasket: Wipe the door gasket regularly with a damp cloth to remove grime, mold, or mildew buildup. A clean gasket helps ensure a proper seal and prevents leaks.
• Check for Damage: Inspect the gasket for cracks or wear. If damaged, replace it to avoid water leakage and maintain an airtight seal.

6. Run Cleaning Cycles

• Monthly Cleaning Cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar once a month to clean the interior, prevent odors, and eliminate any mineral or grease buildup.
• Use Hot Water: For the best results, run the cleaning cycle with the hottest water setting to clean internal components thoroughly.

7. Check the Drain

• Inspect for Blockages: Regularly check the drain and hose for clogs or food debris that could prevent proper drainage. Clean out any blockages to ensure that water drains properly.
• Ensure Proper Installation: Make sure the drain hose is securely installed and free of kinks to prevent leaks or drainage issues.

8. Proper Loading of Dishes

• Avoid Overloading: Load the dishwasher properly to ensure water and detergent can reach all surfaces. Overloading the racks can reduce cleaning effectiveness.
• Rack Placement: Place larger, heavier items like pots and pans on the bottom rack and smaller items on the top. Ensure dishes are placed in a way that doesn’t obstruct the spray arms.

9. Use High-Quality Detergent and Rinse Aid

• Detergent: Use high-quality, phosphate-free dishwasher detergent for effective cleaning and to prevent residue buildup inside the dishwasher.
• Rinse Aid: Regularly refill the rinse aid dispenser to help prevent water spots and streaks, especially if you have hard water.

10. Inspect the Water Inlet and Hoses

• Check for Leaks: Periodically check the water inlet valve and hoses for any signs of leaks or wear. Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged hoses as needed.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure the water inlet valve is free from any obstructions to maintain a consistent flow of water into the dishwasher.

11. Maintain the Stainless Steel Exterior

• Exterior Cleaning: Clean the stainless-steel surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to avoid scratches and fingerprints.
• Stainless Steel Cleaner: Use a stainless-steel cleaner to maintain the finish, prevent tarnishing, and keep your dishwasher looking polished and new.

12. Check for Any Error Codes or Malfunctions

• Monitor for Issues: If the dishwasher displays any error codes, consult the user manual for troubleshooting. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage and ensure reliable operation.
