[. . . ] If it doesn't, consult the Installation Instructions or contact your installer. Call your local water company to learn the water hardness in your area. You'll need to know this to determine how much detergent and rinse aid to use. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [. . . ] You will have to select the program and options again when you are ready to restart the program. (Note: If the program has already gone through the wash cycle, you will have to add detergent. ) PROGRAM TIMES 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 the 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. END-OF-PROGRAM SIGNAL Model 1655 can be programmed to emit a short signal when the program is finished. Press and hold down the Delay Start button as you turn on the power to the machine. The Pots and Pans button will glow to indicate the end-of-program signal is activated. The Pots and Pans button will go out to indicate the signal is off. FAULT MESSAGES In the event that the machine should fail during a program, the control panel lights will flash to indicate an operation fault has occurred. The table below defines these signals and gives possible causes and solutions. If you have corrected the fault, turn the main power off then back on to remove the fault indication. If it still displays, try again to correct the problem or call a service technician. Flashing Indicator Light(s) Heavy Wash Delicate Wash Quick Wash Type of Fault and Recommended Action Too much water has entered the dishwasher. Shut off the water supply and contact a service technician. Pots and Pans and Heavy Wash The drain is blocked. Be sure to replace the adaptor piece before you put the filters back in. OVERFILL PROTECTION Your ASKO dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve and circulation pump and starts the drain pump if the water level in the unit should rise above the normal level. If this happens, turn the water off at the main supply and call for service. If there is water in the base pan due to an overfill or small leak, the water must be removed before the dishwasher will start. (See Fault Messages on page 8. ) ENERGY SAVING TIPS If you plan to wash the dishes right away, there's no need to pre-rinse. Use the Pots & Pans and Heavy wash programs only for heavily soiled dishes. Don't use the high temperature for lightly soiled dishes. (You can speed up the drying process by opening the door slightly to release the moist air. ) Page 10 SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS As with any new appliance, it sometimes takes using it a few times to learn to operate it properly.
