After you have scraped off the large food particles, place
glasses, cups, saucers, bowls and small plates in the
upper basket, as illustrated.
Load stemware with the stem fitted inside one of the
grooved tines on the stemware rack. On Models D1976
and D1996, the row of tines by the stemware rack is
adjustable to prevent glassware from bumping together
(clattering). Load the glassware then use the lever to
adjust the tines until the items are secure.
The fold-down cup shelf on the right side of the basket
gives you an additional place to stack cups and small
bowls. Models D1976 and D1996 have a divided cup
shelf, which gives you more loading flexibility.
Some models have a knife stop on the front of the upper
basket, just below the cup shelf. This gives you a place
to load long utensils and knives that won’t fit in the
silverware or knife/utensil basket. The knife stop prevents
knives or utensils from damaging the door when you
open and close it. When loading sharp items, always
be careful not to cut the rack coating.

Deviations in features may occur, depending

Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Super Cleaning
System™. This means that after the prewash, the water
is drained out and the main wash starts with clean water.
If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not
necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need
to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.
LLOOADING ADING THE UPPER BTHE UPPER BASKETASKET
Whenever possible, knives and long utensils should
be loaded in the knife/utensil basket attached above the
upper basket. To avoid injury, items with the sharp ends
should always be loaded with the sharp ends pointed
toward the back of the dishwasher. Again, always be
careful not to cut the rack coating when loading sharp
items.
