LLOOADING ADING THE LTHE LOOWER BWER BASKETASKET
Removable Plate Rack
(not on all models)
Lower Basket
The silverware basket is designed with 17 compartments
to help keep the silverware separated. Load silverware
with the handles downwards and spread it out as much
as possible to avoid nesting. For safety, load knives with
the handles up.
Avoid placing silverware made of different materials (e.g.,
silver and stainless) in the same compartment because
of the risk of discoloration. (See page 10.)
Small Items Containment LidSmall Items Containment Lid
The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps
down over the compartments to its left or right to contain
small, lightweight items that might slip through the rack
tines or get washed out of the basket and fall through
onto the heating element. The small items lid is slotted,
so you also could use it to keep silverware separated,
such as teaspoons.
When loading silverware, try to avoid
nesting the spoons and forks.

ASKO dishwashers are designed to be energy efficient.
Because the machine uses less water than conventional
dishwashers, you also use less detergent and rinse
aid. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is
needed for a normal wash load. The amount of detergent
needed for your dishes, however, could be more,
depending on the hardness of the water in your area.
Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent.
(See page 5.)
Measure and place detergent for the main wash into the
large detergent compartment. The detergent for prewash
goes into the small compartment to the right of the main
wash compartment. You should use one-half the
amount of detergent for the prewash that you use for the
main wash. The amount of detergent used for the main
wash and prewash combined should never be over three
tablespoons.
Always add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and won’t
dissolve properly.
Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner
plates, pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles.
The removable plate rack easily lifts out to provide space
for large items, such as pots and pans. Be sure to load
dishware facing downward or toward the center of the
dishwasher.
