To remove the spray arms, screw off the nut and take off the washer on top of CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP On occasion something may get through the filters and into the drain pump. The drain pumps on ASKO dishwashers are designed to automatically reverse if anything should get caught in the propellers, thus ejecting the item back into the sump area or down the drain. Should you need to remove an obstacle from the drain, first turn the power off then remove the filters (as explained on page 6). Next, lift out the small black insert from the sump area. (You might want to remove any standing water first.) You can then look into the sump area for the item causing the obstruction. Should you find something, simply scoop it out. Be sure to replace the black insert before you put the filters back in. WARNING! Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. the spray arm and lift off the arm. Wash the spray arms in warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush to clean the jets. Rinse thoroughly and replace. To reach an item caught in the drain pump, remove the filters then the small black insert in the sump area. OVERFILL PROTECTION Your ASKO dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve and starts the drain pump if the water level in the unit should rise above the normal level. If this happens, turn the water off at the main supply and call for service. If there is water in the base pan due to an overfill or small leak, the water must be removed before the dishwasher will start. OVERFILL PROTECTION ON OUR ELECTRONIC MODELS When an overfill is detected on Models D1776, D1796FI, D1876, D1996, D1976, and D1976CUS, all of the indicator lights on the control panel will flash at once. On Models D1776, D1876, D1976 and D1976CUS, the LED window will also display a fault code (F2). ENERGY SAVING TIPS ♦ If you plan to wash the dishes right away, there's no need to pre-rinse. Simply scrape off large particles and load the dishes. ♦ Wash only full loads. ♦ Use the Pan program only for heavily soiled dishes. ♦ Don't use the Temp boost for lightly soiled dishes. ♦ Avoid using Heat dry. (You can speed up the drying process by opening the door slightly to release the moist air.) Page 7
