Features

Super Cleaning System
Rinse the dishes. Clean the interior, including the filter. Choose the best program. How many steps is that? One – and we call it the Super Cleaning System – our best invention.

8 Steel - More Steel, Less Plastic
No other material lasts as long as steel. And no other dishwashers have as many details made from steel instead of plastic as ASKO dishwashers. In fact, eight of the most important components in our dishwashers are made of high-quality steel rather than plastic: the container, loading racks, spray pipe, spray arms, strainers, outer base, feet, and inner door. By using more steel and less plastic, we make our machines last longer.

Aqua Safe System
Do you hesitate to leave the dishwasher on while you are not at home? The Aqua Safe system is an advanced safety system that ensures a leak-safe dishwasher day and night.

Flexiracks
ASKO Flexiracks are made from sturdy, nylon-coated steel and are easily adjustable in different heights depending on the type of load you have.

XXL Dishwashers
Our XXL dishwashers have a loading height of 23". Combined with the smart four-level rack system, the load capacity is 40% greater, offering countless possibilities to fit everything in.

LightLock
Light plastic cans and bowls are easily flipped over and filled with water. The LightLock smart fixation helps them retain their position throughout the program.

Self Cleaning
ASKO’s dishwashers feature a Self-cleaning program to ensure that all vital parts are thoroughly cleaned. Use a recommended cleaning agent and the program regularly for the best results.

Vase/Bottle Holder
Our special holder for tall, narrow objects like baby bottles, vases, and bottles is combined with a special power zone to ensure perfect cleaning results.

Top Cutlery Tray
The top tray for cutlery and kitchen utensils is easy to remove for convenient unloading. With a width of 12-3/4", the centered tray leaves plenty of room for tall wine glasses in the upper rack on each side. With the Instant Lift, you have the freedom to adjust the upper rack to be 1-1/2" or 2-1/4".

Time Program
When you need clean plates in a hurry, just inform the machine how dirty the dishes are and how much time you have. The program then adjusts washing and rinsing to match your needs.

Status Light
ASKO’s new generation dishwashers have a Status Light – a small light placed in the bottom right corner to let you know the current status of the program.

Brushless Motor
A brushless motor is not only quieter and more reliable, but it also consumes less energy. We want your dishwasher to work forever. So do we.

LED Interior Light
The combination of outer and inner LED lights is designed for optimal intensity and durability, providing a good overview of the door area as well as the inside of the dishwasher.

Green Mode
The Green mode saves water and energy by lowering the temperature and extending the washing cycle. Still, the results are just as perfect as the Normal program. Let’s go greener!

Speed Mode
When you need to get things cleaned in a hurry, the Speed mode is useful. It saves up to 50% of the normal time by using more water and increased heating.

Night Mode
Night mode reduces the noise by 2 dB thanks to lower pressure in the spray arm, making it perfect for nighttime or in a house with an open-plan living area.

Auto Wash
ASKO’s Auto Wash with the SensiClean sensor ensures the right temperature, washing cycle, and drying regardless of what you have put in the machine. Every time.

Quick Pro Wash
Sometimes you need to use the same kitchenware with short intervals. The Quick Pro Wash program only takes half an hour – perfect for dinner parties or when you’re baking.

Rinse & Hold
The Rinse and Hold program helps you avoid dried leftovers while waiting for the dishwasher to be fully loaded, saving time and energy in the long run.

Aqua Level Sensor
The Aqua Level Sensor ensures an optimized water level, even if a bowl turns over and fills with water. It also prevents the machine from starting if the water is turned off.

Aqua Detect Sensor
The Aqua Detect Sensor monitors the inlet valves and the water level while the machine operates. For safety reasons, the drain pump’s capacity is five times that of the inlet valve.

Power Zone Cutlery
Power Zone Cutlery is a special nozzle spray zone for the cutlery basket that ensures your cutlery is dazzlingly clean. A similar nozzle is provided for the knife basket.

Kid Safe
To prevent small fingers from starting the dishwasher, the Kid Safe feature makes the control panel easy to lock. This also prevents accidental alterations to any settings.

Anti Siphon
For our fully integrated dishwashers, the Anti-siphon solution safely keeps the water inside the machine, which is especially important if the dishwasher is placed above floor level.

Extra Wide Knife Stand
Our smart knife holders are found in the middle, upper, and top baskets. They are all extra deep so that the blades remain steady. Cutting edge, not fingers.

InstantLift
Our InstantLift height adjustment system allows for an adjustment of between 1-1/2" or 2-1/4" in the upper rack, providing a simple and flexible way to make room for everything.

9 Spray
ASKO’s spray system consists of up to 9 effective spray zones to ensure a completely clean load. In the lower rack, there are three power zones to tackle the dirtiest parts.

3 Level Rack
ASKO’s three-level rack system allows you to optimize the load. Remove, adjust, fold, and move the racks, pin rows, and cutlery rack to meet your every need.

Folding Tines
The foldable tines in the lower tray make it easy to load different sizes of pots and pans. Flexibility at its best.

Foldable Glass Support
Sometimes you need the space of the upper rack for items other than glasses. Fortunately, the tines here are also foldable.

Telescopic Rails
ASKO uses telescopic guide rails with ball bearings to make the racks glide smoothly and quietly. For easy loading and unloading, you can also remove the entire rack.

3 Spray Arms
The three spray-arm technique reaches every corner, and with up to 10 highly effective spray zones, no dirt can escape – not even your lasagna baking dish.

16 Piece Loading Capacity
Experience the world’s biggest load capacity. The latest addition to our rack system is a flexible top cutlery tray with its own spray arm and space for sixteen sets of cutlery, small bowls, or other utensils that can be difficult to load. The width of the top cutlery tray has been optimized to make room for tall glasses in the upper rack, and if more space is needed, simply remove the top cutlery tray.

China Guard
Our china guard ensures secure rotation of the upper spray arm.

15-3/4" Plates in Lower Rack
Our XXL dishwashers can accommodate a 40 cm big plate in the lower rack when the middle rack is removed and the upper rack is in the highest position.

Pop Out Door
When a program is completed, the Door Pop-Out function automatically opens the dishwasher door to release steam inside.

Knife Holders
Knives are sensitive, and so are fingers. That is why we have taken every measure to protect both. Our knife holder is extra deep, ensuring that the blades remain steady throughout the wash cycle. Knife holders are available on three levels: in the middle basket, in the upper basket, and in the top basket. We guarantee a clean cut.

Multi Position Glass Rack
The Multi Position Glass Rack is a practical solution that can be mounted in three different positions, depending on your needs.

Focus Points - A Hint of Nature
Opening the door of our new dishwasher can reveal several features. The high-grade steel may catch your attention first, followed by the machine’s many clever features highlighted with a color that mimics nature’s focus. Closing the door puts the machine back in its place, where it doesn’t compete for space or attention – instead, it harmonizes with the room.

Adjustable Power Zones
To enhance an already powerful cleaning system, we have created two adjustable power zones with two different spray patterns. The power zones can produce a concentrated high-pressure jet for extra dishwashing power on tall, narrow objects like bottles and vases, or a wider spray for larger dishes, pots, and pans. There’s also a bridging function where both power zones are set to wide spray mode for very large dishes or utensils. The power zones are operated manually, so when you don’t need them, simply switch them off.

A Dishwasher You Can Really Connect With
The ConnectLife app allows you to control and monitor your ASKO dishwasher remotely via your smartphone or tablet. You can look up the online user manual, change settings, check the machine’s status, and more. You can even start, stop, and pause programs on the go. The app includes a step-by-step guide to help you find the best programs for your specific needs.

Logic
If you approach new technology with logic and reason, you will find our Logic family of dishwashers satisfying and intuitive to use. All Logic models have a clean, minimalistic design that is both elegant and easy on the eye. The integrated, fully graphical (FFSTN) display is conveniently positioned on top of the door.

Maintenance Tips 

The Asko DFI565XXLSOF, part of the 50 Series, offers advanced features such as an XXL tub and integrated water softener, making it ideal for large loads and providing excellent cleaning performance. To keep it in top condition and ensure efficient operation, follow these key maintenance tips:

1. Regularly Clean the Filters

• Weekly Cleaning: Remove the filter assembly and rinse it under warm water to clear away food debris and grease. For stubborn buildup, use a soft brush to scrub the filter.
• Proper Reinstallation: After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully to ensure that they sit correctly and avoid leaks or inefficient drainage.

2. Descale the Dishwasher

• Descaling Frequency: Use a dishwasher-safe descaling agent every 2-3 months to prevent mineral buildup, particularly if you have hard water. This helps prevent scaling on the heating element and keeps internal components functioning smoothly.
• Vinegar Cycle: Run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar occasionally to help dissolve any mineral buildup.

3. Maintain the Water Softener

• Regeneration Salt: Check the water softener's salt compartment regularly and refill it with dishwasher-safe water softener salt when needed. The water softener helps prevent mineral deposits in your dishes and the machine itself.
• Use the Right Salt: Always use high-quality dishwasher salt designed specifically for water softeners, as other types of salt can cause damage to the appliance.

4. Clean the Spray Arms

• Inspect for Clogs: Detach the spray arms periodically to check for blockages from food particles or mineral buildup. Clean them by rinsing under warm water to restore optimal spray performance.
• Ensure Free Rotation: After cleaning, make sure the spray arms rotate freely so water can reach every dish during the wash cycle.

5. Maintain the Door Seal and Gasket

• Clean the Gasket: Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove grime, mold, or mildew. Keeping the gasket clean helps maintain a tight seal and prevents leaks.
• Check for Damage: Periodically inspect the gasket for any wear, cracks, or tears. If damaged, replace it to ensure water tightness and prevent leaks.

6. Run Cleaning Cycles

• Monthly Maintenance Cycle: Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar once a month. This helps clean internal components, eliminate odors, and remove any grease or mineral buildup.
• Use Hot Water: For the most effective cleaning, use the hottest water setting during the cycle.

7. Check the Drain

• Inspect for Blockages: Check the drain and hose regularly for any food debris, clogs, or mineral buildup that could impede proper drainage. Clean the drain thoroughly to ensure smooth water flow.
• Ensure Proper Drainage: Confirm that the drain hose is properly installed and free from kinks or twists to ensure efficient drainage.

8. Proper Loading of Dishes

• Avoid Overloading: Make sure the dishwasher is loaded properly to avoid blocking the spray arms. Overloading can reduce cleaning efficiency.
• Rack Placement: Place large, heavy items like pots and pans on the bottom rack and delicate items such as glasses and small bowls on the top rack. Ensure the items do not obstruct the spray arms.

9. Use High-Quality Detergent and Rinse Aid

• Detergent: Use a high-quality, phosphate-free dishwasher detergent for optimal cleaning performance and to avoid residue buildup.
• Rinse Aid: Refill the rinse aid dispenser regularly to prevent water spots and streaks, particularly if you live in an area with hard water.

10. Inspect the Water Inlet and Hoses

• Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect the water inlet valve and hoses for leaks or signs of wear. Tighten loose connections and replace any damaged hoses to avoid water damage.
• Clear Obstructions: Ensure the water inlet valve is free of obstructions to maintain proper water flow into the dishwasher.

11. Maintain the Stainless Steel Exterior

• Exterior Cleaning: Clean the panel-ready exterior with a soft cloth and mild detergent to avoid scratches and streaks. Be gentle when wiping the surface to maintain its appearance.
• Stainless Steel Cleaner: For a polished look and to prevent tarnishing, use a stainless-steel cleaner periodically to maintain the surface's shine and protect it from corrosion.

12. Check for Any Error Codes or Malfunctions

• Monitor for Issues: If the dishwasher displays any error codes, refer to the user manual for troubleshooting. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage and maintain optimal performance.
