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 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. Rinse aid adjustment dial 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. WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER 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. Rinse Aid Level Indicator As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below. Full 3/4 full 1/2 full 1/4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting Empty RINSE AID INDICATOR LIGHT Models D1996, D1976, and D1976CUS have a rinse aid indicator light on the control panel that comes on when the dispenser is empty. After you refill the dispenser, there may be some delay before this light goes out. CARE AND CLEANING The interior of your ASKO dishwasher is made of surgical quality stainless steel that has been electropolished 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 FILTERING SYSTEM 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. Some models have a rinse aid indicator light on the control panel that lights up when the dispenser is almost empty. 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. 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. Page 6 WARNING! Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
