ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED
ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the
final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid
needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the
water in your area. (See page 5.) Too much rinse aid
can result in lather or foaming and cause cloudiness or
streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very
soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute
the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the
amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid
diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You
should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

Models D1996, D1976, and D1976CUS have a rinse
aid indicator light on the control panel that comes on

dispenser, there may be some delay before this light
goes out.
CARE AND CLEANING
CARE AND CLEANING
The interior of your ASKO dishwasher is made of
surgical quality stainless steel that has been electro-
polished 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

TERING SYSTEM
STEM
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.
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.
WARNING!

OR LIGHT
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start
with the dispenser set on "1." If spots and poor drying
are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to "2." If the dishes still aren't drying properly or
are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number
until your dishes are spot-free.
To increase the amount of rinse aid released
in the final rinse, turn the adjustment dial to
the next higher number.
NOTE
Only adjust the dial one number at a time.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the
black dot on the rinse aid level indicator
changes, as illustrated below.

Some models have a rinse aid indicator

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.
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.
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.
