CARE AND CLEANING
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
CLEANING THE FILTERS
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.
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.
In hard water areas, it may be necessary to clean
chemical buildup from the filters every 12 to 18 months.
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.
To do this, remove the coarse filter by squeezing the
tabs and lifting it out. Next, unscrew the fine filter and lift
it and the main filter out. Wash all three filters gently in
hot, soapy water and rinse them thoroughly.
WARNING!
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in
place.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on
the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish.
Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on
