The installation should be carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections. If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and electrical has to be done before you move the machine into place. If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the plumbing connection and wiring before you move the new dishwasher into place. NOTE: Cosmetic damage must be reported to the ASKO dealer within five days from the date of purchase. After unpacking the dishwasher, thoroughly check the unit for cosmetic damage.

The width for these models is 23-1/2" (596 mm). PREPARING LOCA OCATION PREPARING THE LOCATION The best place for your dishwasher is in the kitchen near the sink. This makes it easier to connect the water and drain supply lines. A built-in dishwasher must be enclosed on the top, both sides and the back. machine, a maximum of 2" from the back wall and 7" to 9" from the floor, depending on the underneath cabinet height. Access holes must be round and smooth, and they must be no bigger than 1-1/2" in diameter. Under-Counter Space Needed INSTALLING GUARDS INSTALLING THE TIP GUARDS (OPTIONAL) When it is not possible to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet, you should install tip guards to prevent the machine from tipping when the door is opened. The tip guards can be attached either to the floor or the wall. The tip guards should be mounted behind the machine, 19" apart (measuring center to center) and 18-1/2" from the front of the machine. (Note: This measurement could vary, depending on the thickness of the custom panel, if any.) The kick plate supplied with your dishwasher will fit a 24" opening. When using European standard installation, a kick plate is available from your ASKO dealer. (Part Numbers: White=8057528-0; Black=8057528-29) The electrical and water supplies should enter through the area indicated by the shading on the illustration above. They should come through the right side of the Rear Tip Guards (P/N 8070851) We recommend that you install tip guards when it isn't possible to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet. Page 3 INSTALLA ALLATION CORNER INSTALLATION If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, there must be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50 mm) from the side wall so the door can open. 2" clearance HOT W ATER SUPPLY HOT SUPPLY WARNING! Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing codes in your area. The machine should preferably be connected to a hot water supply. If a cold water supply is used, the washing times will be longer but the performance will not be affected. The hot water supply line should be minimum 3/8" OD copper tubing. The inlet valve has a 3/8" NPT female connection. After determining where the water supply line will enter the dishwasher, drill a 1" access hole and run the line to the approximate inlet valve location shown in the figure below. The inlet valve is on the right front of the machine, so the water line should be placed on the right side. If you use soft copper line, leave the tube straight out in the opening to slide the dishwasher in. Bend the tube into position after the dishwasher is slid into the cabinet opening. For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied) should be installed in the supply line in an easily accessible location (such as, beneath the sink) or in the supply line near the dishwasher fill valve. It is important that the water supply line and the shut-off valve have a sufficient flow volume. At last 3 gallons (12 liters) per minute must be able to pass through the line. The water pressure should be 18-176 psi. CONNECTIONS Compression sleeve Compression nut 3/8" OD copper water line WARNING! In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher.

Tubing number 5 is to be fitted when the machine is in position. Page 4 SUPPLY DRAIN SUPPLY ASKO provides a 7/8" drain hose which is connected to the back of the unit to form a high loop. If additional drain hose is needed, please purchase an additional ASKO drain hose and joint it to the provided hose with a 7/8" copper tube. INSTALL THREE W AYS TO INSTALL DRAIN CONNECTIONS A.) Typical connection to sink plumbing before trap (high loop drain) NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than 7/8" ID. The access hole for the drain line should be 1-1/2". The end of the drain line is 1/2", but it is adjustable to 7/8", 3/4", 5/8". If the drain connection is larger than 1/2", you can easily cut the drain line to fit the connection. The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect the drain supply line. LOOP THE HIGH LOOP All ASKO dishwashers have drain hoses attached to the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit. This gives the drain hose an automatic high loop, which is necessary for proper draining. The drain hose is fastened at the best high loop height with a plastic zip tie. To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave this hose in place. B.) Connection to air gap then to the trap IMPORT IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER: Failure to provide the proper drain connection height (minimum of 20" above the bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20" high loop will result in improper drainage, which will damage the machine. No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35" from the bottom of the dishwasher. The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well or its equivalent because it might function as a siphon and empty the machine. The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length of 10 feet. Joints and jointed tubes, if any, must have a minimum 7/8" ID. C.) Connection to waste disposer with air gap If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from the fitting on the disposer before connecting the drain line. Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8"; otherwise the water may not drain properly. When the installation is ready, open the supply valve and let the pressure act for a while. Then check that all connections are tight and there are no leaks. NOTE: Don't forget to remove the knockout or plug from the disposer fitting. Page 5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING! Before working on wiring for any electrical appliance, be sure the electrical power has been turned off at the breaker/fuse box. WARNING! Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch indicating that you are working on the circuit. WARNING! Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions of the national electrical code and/or other local electrical codes. The electrical supply must be a 110­120 volts, 15 or 20 amp properly grounded circuit. No other appliance or outlets should be on this circuit. NOTE: Access holes must not be larger than 1-1/2" in diameter with no sharp edges. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This unit must be grounded to operate properly. It must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. Damage to the dishwasher could occur if it is not properly grounded. WARNING! Make sure the water supply line, drain line and branch circuit wiring do not touch any exposed terminals of dishwasher wiring. PREPARING DISHWASHER INSTALLA ALLATION PREPARING THE DISHW ASHER FOR INSTALLATION At this point the styrofoam, plastic wrap, and the wood pallet (base) should be removed from the dishwasher. Now is an excellent time to inspect for any shipping damage. Should you find any damage, you should report it to your dealer or builder immediately. Be sure to remove the toe kick and toe kick insulation which are wrapped in heavy brown paper and packed inside the dishwasher. SLIDES FOR REAR LEGS The unit comes with two white plastic slides for the rear legs to protect the kitchen floor from being damaged when you slide the unit into place. The slides simply snap onto the bottom of the rear legs. Protective slides for rear legs simply snap onto the bottom of the legs. THE FILL STRIPS All ASKO dishwashers (except Models 1805FI and 1895) have color-coded fill strips to finish off the installation. To prevent damage to the machine, be sure to remove the shipping screws that secure the fill strips to the access panel. These screws are to be thrown away. Do not replace them into the access panel. REMOVING PANEL REMOVING THE ACCESS PANEL To remove the access panel, first remove the two screws on each side of the access panel. There are two tabs at the top of the access panel that hold the panel in place against the guard plate. To remove the panel, you must slide it down below these tabs. REMOVING REMOVING THE TOE KICK BRACKETS BRACKETS WARNING! Do not screw the fill strips back to the lower access panel; otherwise, the machine will have to be uninstalled if service is necessary. Fill Strip Toe kick bracket To remove the toe kick brackets, hold the small metal spring tab on the outer edge of the base pan toward the outside of the machine. Continue holding the tab as you pull straight out on the bracket. (Note: It may be stubborn because it's in guide slots on the base pan.) Access Panel NOTE: If the cabinet opening is European measurement (23-1/2 inches [600 mm]), remove the fill strips to fit the dishwasher into the opening. Page 6 REMOVING GUARD PLATE REMOVING THE GUARD PLATE There are four screws that hold the guard plate in place, two on the upper/underneath side and two on the front. To remove the guard plate, first remove the toe kick brackets (see page 6). Then remove the two screws on the upper/underneath side of the guard plate. Next, remove the two screws from the front side of the guard plate. Guard plate After the screws are removed, grip the bottom of the guard plate and pull it toward you to remove it. You can now access the inlet valve, electrical connection, and drain pump and hose, as illustrated below. Remove the two screws on each side of the guard plate.
