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.
Some models have a rinse aid indicator
light on the control panel that lights up
when the dispenser is almost empty.
ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSEDADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED
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.
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 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
FILFILTERING SYTERING SYSTEMSTEM
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.

Food and soil particles trapped
by this filter are pulverized by a

them by putting two tablespoons of citric acid in the

deposits.
