ASKO D5223 (02) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I get the most out of my new ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

To get the most out of your ASKO D5223 dishwasher, it is recommended to read the operating instructions before using the machine. The operating instructions also contain information on how to avoid damaging the environment.

What should I do before doing my first wash in the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

• Read through the directions for use, especially the Safety, Child Safety, and Basic Course sections.
• Read the Fragile Dishes section before washing china with unglazed decoration or other household goods made of plastic, wood, or crystal requiring careful treatment.
• Check that the door of the dishwasher fits properly by opening the door a little and letting it go. If it doesn’t stay where you released it, check the installation instructions or consult the installer.

What are the important safety instructions for using the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read the Installation Instructions for details.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
• Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse agents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children.
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you could damage the door seal.
• Place sharp knives in the cutlery basket with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe could become deformed or melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate, access panel, toe kick, etc.)
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or changing.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door or baskets.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• When removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it, remove the door to the washing compartment.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

What child safety tips should I be aware of when using the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

• Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately: Call the National Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
• Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
• Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
• Do not allow children to use or play in or on the dishwasher.
• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/utensil basket. If this is not possible, load sharp objects with the pointed end facing the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items loaded in the cutlery basket should be loaded with pointed ends down.
• Engage the child safety lock.

What are the steps for the basic course of operating the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

1. Load the baskets correctly. Remove large food particles and debris, but you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water.

   • Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket.
   • Wine glasses should be hung from or leaned against the wine glass shelf and knives placed in the knife stand if present.
   • Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
   • Stand the cutlery with handles downward and as spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons are not resting inside each other.
   • Do not put cutlery made of different materials – such as silver and stainless steel – in the same compartment.
   • The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the middle for small items or narrow shafts, such as electric whisks.
   • Place long cutlery and carving knives in the special knife box (if present) or in the upper basket.

2. Check that the spray arms are able to move freely.

3. Add dishwashing detergent. Only use unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent, and check the expiration date. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount. Refer to the chart for the recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness.

   Recommended Detergent Amounts Based on Water Hardness

   Water Hardness	Prewash	Main Wash
   Soft (0-3 grains per gallon)	1 teaspoon	1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons
   Medium (4-8 grains per gallon)	1 teaspoon	1 to 2 tablespoons
   Hard (9+ grains*)	1 teaspoon	2 to 3 tablespoons

   * 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.

   If the water hardness is 12 grains or higher, detergent alone may not be enough, and you may need to use a water softener. In areas with hard water (9+), wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard water deposits from forming in the tank and wash system. In hard water areas, the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while. This can be removed by replacing the prewash detergent with two tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid. If you have hard water and use a detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous content, you may need to use more detergent or use a detergent with more than 8.7% phosphorous content. Do not add pre-wash detergent for the Quick wash programs. If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser as this could cause a film on your dishes. If you are using dishwasher tablets, halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser cover. There is a risk that the dishwasher detergent will not break down properly if the cover is tight and cannot be opened correctly. For 3-in-1/Multi-purpose detergent, read the directions for use for such products carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.

4. Switch on the main switch.

5. Select the program.

6. Select the option.

7. Press start. The dishwasher will now start and manage the entire wash automatically. Ensure that the door is properly closed, or the machine will not start.

How do I change the program after starting the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

To change the program after starting the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. Then select a new program and press the Start/Stop button. Make sure there is detergent in the dispenser.

Can I load more dishes after starting the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

You can carefully open the door to load more dishes; the machine will stop automatically. Put in the dishes, close the door, and the dishwasher will continue from where it left off.

What happens if the ASKO D5223 dishwasher is switched off at the main switch before the washing program is completed?

If the machine is switched off at the main switch (or in the event of a power cut) before the washing program has been completed, the interrupted program will continue when the power comes back on.

What happens if the power is switched off or the door is open during drying?

If the power is switched off, or if the door is open during drying, the program is interrupted.

What is the standby mode on the ASKO D5223 dishwasher?

Once the machine has finished, it only draws standby current. To disconnect the power completely, switch off at the main power switch.

How should I handle the ASKO D5223 dishwasher if it is not to be used for an extended period?

Turn off the water faucet if the machine is not to be used for an extended period, such as during vacations.

How do you select a program?

Select a program by pressing the program selector one or more times until the required program symbol lights up.

What is the Daily wash program suitable for?

A program suitable for daily dishes. The program can also deal with dried food, though the short prewashes are not designed for dishes with burned-on foods. For a short daily program, use Daily wash with economy temperature and economy dry.

When should the Heavy wash program be used?

The Heavy Wash program should be used for heavily soiled dishes, e.g. saucepans, pots and gratin dishes. If there is still space in the machine after loading such items, you can add plates etc. For heavily soiled loads, such as pots, pans, casseroles, etc.

When is the Normal wash used?

Used for washing normally soiled dishes such as plates, serving dishes, cups and glasses, etc. For normally soiled loads, such as plates, glasses, bowls, and lightly soiled pans.

When do you use the Delicate wash program?

If the dishes are not heavily soiled, you can select Delicate wash. This program is intended for glass and china which has just been used and therefore does not need such a powerful program.

When is the Quick wash program used?

Select Quick Wash if the dishes are very lightly soiled. This program is used for very lightly soiled glass and china, e.g. coffee cups. For lightly soiled loads that are washed immediately after use. This program can also be used for delicate items.

What is the Rinse & Hold program for?

For rinsing the dishes while waiting for the machine to be filled. To rinse dishes that you plan to wash later that day.

How do you select options?

To select an option, press one of the option buttons.

What does the temperature option button do?

With the temperature option button, you can select the wash temperature yourself. You can vary the temperatures as follows:

• Normal High Daily: 140°F (60°C) 150°F (65°C)
• Heavy: 130°F (55°C) 160°F (70°C)

The temperature symbol will light up if you have chosen the high temperature. This selection will remain in force until a change is made.

How do you select the drying option?

If you desire a better drying result, press the Drying options button and a symbol showing three wavy lines will light. If you want a program without Drying options, press the button again and the symbol will go out.

How can you save energy?

• Only wash full loads. Waiting to run the wash until the machine is full saves energy.
• Wash at a lower temperature. If the dishes are only lightly soiled you can run a Quick wash program and reduce the temperature to 86°F (30°C).
• Select a program with Normal dry. To save energy, select Normal dry. You will get a better drying result if you leave the door slightly open after the end of the program.
• Do not rinse before dishwashing. Thanks to the dishwasher’s Self Cleaning System (SCS) you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water before loading them into the machine.
• Choose environmentally-friendly dishwasher detergent. Read environmental declarations on the package!
• Connect to cold water supply. For best performance, it is recommended that connection is to cold water.

What types of fragile dishes should not be machine washed?

A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat; others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.

Can china with decoration on top of the glaze be machine washed?

How should crystal/glass be washed in the dishwasher?

Place the goods so that they do not knock together during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique and very fragile items should not be machine washed. Glass which is machine washed at high temperatures can in time develop a grey film which cannot be removed. Wash fine glass at the lowest temperature and with a low dosage of dishwasher detergent.

How should silver and stainless steel be washed in the dishwasher?

Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact with each other as the silver can discolor.

Can cutlery with glued handles be machine washed?

Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand machine washing. In such cases the handles can come loose.

Can wooden items be machine washed?

Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high temperature generated in machine dishwashing. Select a program with a low temperature.

What is the dishwasher tub made of and how is it kept clean?

The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use. However, if you have hard water, limescale deposits may form in the machine. If this happens, run an empty machine with a normal wash program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher detergent compartment.

What does the coarse filter do?

The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which cannot get past the drain pump. Empty the coarse filter as necessary.

How do you empty the coarse filter?

1. Lift the coarse filter by the handle.
2. Empty the coarse filter. Don’t forget to replace it!

How is the fine filter cleaned?

Debris that collects on the fine filter is automatically rinsed away during each wash. However, the fine filter and its pipe section should be cleaned once or twice a year.

How do you clean the fine filter and pipe section?

1. Turn the handle once counter-clockwise.
2. Lift the pipe section straight up by the handle. Free the coarse filter to clean the pipe section.
3. Remove and clean the fine filter.
4. Replace in reverse order. Ensure that the edges are properly sealed when replacing the fine filter.

How do you clean the door?

When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch. This is to ensure that water does not penetrate into the door catch and come into contact with the electrical components.

CAUTION! Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch.

Tip! In order to prevent bad odors in the dishwasher, clean any residue from the door seal area and the corners with a dish brush and low-lather detergent.

How do you add rinse aid?

In some cases, drying can be made more efficient by using rinse aid.

When should you add rinse aid to machines with an indicator on the panel?

When the rinse aid has run out and more is needed, the rinse aid symbol on the panel lights up*.

How do you fill the rinse aid dispenser?

1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid compartment to the right of the dispenser. This is where you top up and set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed in each wash.
2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the dosage setting knob. Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to close the cover.

*Note! After filling there may be a short delay before the signal light goes out.

How do you know when to add rinse aid to machines with a refill indicator in the detergent dispenser?

There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser (see illustration). If the refill indicator is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid. However, if the indicator has a more transparent appearance, you need to top up with rinse aid (see above).

How do you select the rinse aid dosage?

The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water. However, depending on the water hardness, you may need to change the dosage. Open the rinse aid cover. Here you will find the dispenser’s adjustment dial. Settings 1-6: the harder the water, the higher the dosage. When the water hardness exceeds 3 grains, you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid). Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-up of foam. If your water is particularly soft, you can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1 part water). Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on the dishes, while too little can result in water stains.

Can you reprogram some of the machine’s functions?

Some of the machine’s functions can be reprogrammed. Please read below. The selection will be retained until the next time you reset this function.
