Greener dishwashing

Donotrinseunderrunningwater

Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.

Chooseagreendetergent

Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!

Runprogramsonlywithafullload

Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you save energy. Use the Rinse & hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

Runprogramsatalowertemperature

If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.

SelectEco

Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.

This dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.

Openthodooralittleoncetheprogramhasfinished

Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)

Connecttocoldwater

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connectiontohotwatersupply

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.

Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.

Fragiledecoration

Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal/Glass

By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and dishes.

Hand-paintedglassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not bewashed in adishwasher.

Silver

Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.

Aluminium

Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.

Cutlerywithgluedhandles

Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.

Points to consider

  • All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
  • Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
  • Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
  • Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the cutlery basket.

NOTE!

Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.

Theappearanceofthebasketsmaydifferdependingonthedishwasher setup.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.

Cutlery basket

Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other.

The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to achieve the best dishwashing performance from the unique spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery™), which is intended for the cutlery basket.

WARNING!

Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.

text_image Press to open 1 2
  1. Prewash detergent compartment
  2. Main wash detergent compartment

Detergent is added according to water hardness.

Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.

NOTE!

Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

Dishwashertablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.

NOTE!

Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

All-in-onedetergent

There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read the directions for these products carefully.

NOTE!

Optimum washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

Time remaining

Once you have chosen a program, a program mode and options, the time the program took when last used is displayed.

Once you have started the dishwasher, the display shows the remaining program time. The remaining time is updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated.

This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes, the ambient temperature and other factors.

During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can be slightly misleading, as the dishwasher is estimating the time. When you run the program a second time, the dishwasher will calculate the remaining time based on the previous duration of the program.

Stopping or changing a program

NOTE!

During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.

Once the program has finished

Once the program has finished, "END" appears on the display.

At the end of the program, you will hear a short beep. Chapter Settings describes how to change this function.

The dishwasher switches off automatically after the program ends. Turn off the water tap after each use.

How to get the best drying results

• Fully load the dishwasher.
- Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
- Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.
- Activate the Extra Dry option.
- Activate the High temperature setting. See the chapter Settings.
- Activate the Extra Dry setting. See the chapter Settings.
- Open the door a little once the program has finished.
- Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them.

Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Placing the dishwasher

The dishwasher can be installed built-in, completely freestanding or partially built-in.

A.Built-in

The dishwasher is intended for installation under a worktop. The recess dimensions are illustrated. Holes for wires/cables need not be larger than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such holes are even to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power cable.

ASKO DBI243IBS - A.Built-in - 1

text_image 820-875 >560 600 131 50 Ø 38 [mm]

If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.

B.Freestanding

A freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets. This comprises two brackets, which are screwed into place as illustrated.

The dishwasher is then pushed in so that the brackets engage the rear feet. Now the dishwasher will not topple if pressure is put on the open door. If the dishwasher is installed completely on its own, side panels and a worktop must both be fitted. Accessories can be purchased where you bought the dishwasher.

WARNING!

A completely freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets.

C. Partiallybuilt-in

If the dishwasher is located so that one of its sides is visible, a side panel must be fitted. Accessories can be purchased where you bought the dishwasher.

Affix the protective film

Attach the protective film (packed in the document bag) to the underside of the worktop. The protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture.

NOTE!

The surface to which the protective film is affixed must be clean and dry.

Drainage connection

This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

Max. 950 mm

The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.

The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joins and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins.

No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher.

Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.

Connection to water supply

Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.

The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.

Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.

Connectiontocoldwatersupply

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connectiontohotwatersupply

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

NOTE!

The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa.

Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of pressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply! This may cause the error message "Water inlet fault" to be displayed.

If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.

Electrical connection

Information about the electrical connection can be found on the compliance plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.

The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed wall socket.

The electric wall socket must be placed outside of the installation area to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use an extension cord!

NOTE!

Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified professional.
