And never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Also, some paper towels can scratch or leave marks on the stainless steel surface. SPRAY CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS Spray-arm jets and bearings may sometimes become clogged with hard water chemicals. To remove the spray arms, screw off the nut and take off the washer on top of the spray arm and lift off the arm. Rinse thoroughly and replace. CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP On occasion something may get through the filters and into the drain pump. The drain pumps on ASKO dishwashers are designed to automatically reverse if anything should get caught in the propellers, thus ejecting the item back into the sump area or down the drain. Should you need to remove an obstacle from the drain, first turn the power off then remove the filters (as explained on page 6). (You might want to remove any standing water first. ) You can then look into the sump area for the item causing the obstruction. Be sure to replace the black insert before you put the filters back in. To reach an item caught in the drain pump, remove the filters then the small black insert in the sump area. WARNING! Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. PRO OVERFILL PR OTECTION Your ASKO dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve 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. PRO ELECTRONIC OVERFILL PR OTECTION ON OUR ELECTR ONIC MODELS On Models 1485, 1595, 1805, 1885, and 1895, when an overfill is detected all of the indicator lights on the control panel will flash at once. On Models 1485, 1595, 1885 and 1895, the LED window will also display a fault code (F2). ENERGY SAVING ENER GY SAVING TIPS If you plan to wash the dishes right away, there's no need to pre-rinse. Page 7 Don't use the Temp boost for lightly soiled dishes. (You can speed up the drying process by opening the door slightly to release the moist air. ) SOLUTIONS T O COMMON DISHW ASHING PR OBLEMS SOLUTIONS DISHWASHING PROBLEMS As with any new appliance, it sometimes takes using it a few times to learn to operate it properly. If you are having minor performance problems with your dishwasher, read this section before calling for service. It may save you time and unnecessary expense. Poor washing performance Chipped or Broken Dishes The dishes may not be loaded properly. Make sure that soiled surfaces are facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher.
