Quick Start Guide

SUPER CLEANING SYSTEM

We know you’re excited about owning an ASKO dishwasher and you’re anxious to get started, so here’s a brief summary of the operation
procedures. The page references in this guide refer to the Use and Care Guide. To get the most out of the features of your new
dishwasher, we recommend that you read the Use and Care Guide.

THE CONTROL PANEL
Model D1776 has a touchpad control panel, as illustrated below. To select a wash program or the heat dry option, simply press the
appropriate touchpad. When you press a touchpad, a red indicator light at the upper left of the touchpad glows to show that you selected
that program.
Touchpad Controls
Press one of these touchpads to select a program or option.

Indicator Lights
These lights glow red to
indicate which program you
have selected.

LED Window
The LED window displays water temperature,
program run time and fault codes.

PROGRAMS
Your ASKO dishwasher has three wash programs, a rinse and hold option and a heat fan dry option. Press the touchpad to select the
desired program and option.
Pots and pans
For the heaviest soiled loads, such as pots, pans,
casseroles, etc.
Normal
For normal wash loads.

Quick
For lightly soiled loads. Items such as fine china
and crystal can be washed in this program, but you
should turn the Heat dry off.
Rinse and hold
To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.

Heat dr y
This touchpad activates the heating element during the drying cycle to speed up the drying process.

CHANGING A PROGRAM
If you’ve started the dishwasher then decide to change the program or turn off the Heat dry option, simply press the original program
touchpad for three to five seconds to stop the dishwasher. You can then press the touchpad for the desired program.

UNDERSTANDING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS
When the dishwasher has finished, all of the indicator lights will come on. The lights will remain on until you open the door.
If the lights flash in an alternating pattern after you have started a program, this usually means the dishwasher door is not closed
securely. Push the door closed until you hear it click shut.
If all of the lights on the control panel flash in sequence, this means the machine has detected an overfill. (See page 7.) Should this
happen, call the ASKO Advisory Center.

QUICK START PROCEDURES

Refer to this page in
the Use & Care Guide.

1. Load the dishwasher. (There’s no need to pre-rinse. Simply scrape off large food particles before
you load the dishware.)
2. After you’ve pushed the baskets back inside the unit, manually rotate the upper and lower spray
arms to be sure they turn freely. Rearrange any item that blocks the wash arms.
3. Make sure there is rinse aid in the dispenser. Add rinse aid, if needed.
4. Add automatic dishwashing detergent and close the dispenser cover. (See “Amount of Dishwashing
Detergent to Use” below.)
5. Close the door securely. (You should hear it click shut.)
6. Press the touchpad for the desired program and, if desired, the Heat dry option. The red indicator
light for the program you select will come on and the dishwasher will start.

LED WINDOW DISPLAYS
Program Time
When a program starts, the LED displays the time it took that program to run last time. As the program runs, the LED displays the remaining
time. If the time exceeds an hour, the display alternates between the hour and minutes remaining. The hour is designated by an h (e.g., 1h).
The program times may not always be the same because of variations in the household hot water temperature. The dishwasher heats
the water to the proper temperature for the program selected, so if the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is too low, the
dishwasher will run longer because it takes longer to heat the water. Raising your water heater setting could help to shorten the cycle
times. If this doesn’t help, call the ASKO Advisory Center.

Fault Codes
The LED window displays three fault codes, as illustrated below.
Indicates a fault in the heater. Call your local service

Indicates a thermistor fault (heater control). Call your

technician.

NOTE: When the LED displays three dashed lines, this simply means the door isn’t closed completely.

AMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USE
We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Generally, one tablespoon of detergent is
needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need more detergent. Also, the amount of detergent needed
can vary due to differences in water hardness. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. (See page 5.) In any case, you
should never use more than three tablespoons of detergent.

ANSWERS

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1)

Where do I put the prewash detergent?

1)

It goes into the compartment between the main detergent
compartment and the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 4.)

2)

Where do I put the rinse aid?

2)

The rinse aid goes into the rinse aid dispenser. (See page 5.)

3)

Why does my dishwasher run so long?

3)

If the temperature of the water entering your dishwasher is below
120°, the dishwasher runs longer because it heats the water to
the proper temperature for the program selected. Raising your
water heater setting may help shorten the cycle times. If this
doesn’t resolve the problem, call the ASKO Advisory Center.

4)

How do I know when the dishwasher is done?

7)

Why am I getting a white film on my dishes?

You may be using too much detergent or washing your dishes in
water that is too hot. Try using less detergent and use the Normal
or Quick wash programs.

8)

Why is there always water left in the bottom of my
machine?

8)

It’s normal to have some water left in the sump area near the
drain. If the water fills more than the drain area, see page 9 for
possible solutions.
