DISHWASHER FEATURES Your new dishwasher features ASKO's Super Cleaning System™. This means that after the prewash, the water is drained out and the main wash starts with clean water. If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it's not necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need to scrape off the large particles of food before loading. NOTE: Deviations in features may occur, depending on the model.

Load stemware with the stem fitted inside one of the grooved tines on the stemware rack. On Models D1976 and D1996, the row of tines by the stemware rack is adjustable to prevent glassware from bumping together (clattering). Load the glassware then use the lever to adjust the tines until the items are secure. The fold-down cup shelf on the right side of the basket gives you an additional place to stack cups and small bowls. Models D1976 and D1996 have a divided cup shelf, which gives you more loading flexibility. Some models have a knife stop on the front of the upper basket, just below the cup shelf. This gives you a place to load long utensils and knives that won't fit in the silverware or knife/utensil basket. The knife stop prevents knives or utensils from damaging the door when you open and close it. When loading sharp items, always be careful not to cut the rack coating.

To avoid injury, items with the sharp ends should always be loaded with the sharp ends pointed toward the back of the dishwasher. Again, always be careful not to cut the rack coating when loading sharp items. Knife/Utensil Basket (Models D1996, D1976 and D1976CUS) Cup shelf Page 3
