ASKO 1653 - Manual (Page 7)

The bottom rack*
Place dinner plates, smaller plates, serving plates,
larger bowls and pans in the lower rack. The lower
spray arm sprays up with a more powerful pressure
to clean more heavily soiled items.
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of either spray arm by hanging below the
rack or by sticking up too far. Securely place
heavily soiled cookware facedown in the rack.
The silverware basket*
Arrange flatware in the silverware basket with handles down.
Sharp or pointed items, such as knives, should be put in with the
point down to protect your hands. Distribute items evenly and
mix knives, forks and spoons so that items won't nest together.
Take out anything, such as long meat knives or skewers that
might fall or extend through the bottom of the basket. Do not put
sterling silver or silver-plate flatware in the same compartment
with stainless steel. Contact between the metals can damage
silver. It is also not advisable to place stainless steel of different
qualities close to each other. Load sharp knives so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.

dishwasher?" and "Poor dishwashing results?")
Extra quiet operation hints
Your dishwasher has been designed and engineered to not only give superior cleaning results, but also to
operate extremely quietly. To avoid any extra clattering or thumping noises during operation:
• Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
• Load dishes so they do not touch another.
• Make sure light weight items are secured in the rack.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
either of the spray arms'rotation.
