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 feature that ensures a leak-safe dishwasher day and night.

Flexiracks
ASKO Flexiracks are constructed from sturdy, nylon-coated steel and are easily adjustable to 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 increased by 40%, offering countless possibilities to make everything fit.

Crystal Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal or glass, such as Orrefors crystal, using the gentle dishwashing program specifically designed for this purpose.

LightLock
Light plastic containers and bowls can easily flip over and fill 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 this program regularly for optimal results.

Vase/Bottle Holder
Our specialized holder for tall, narrow objects like baby bottles and vases is combined with a dedicated power zone that ensures a perfect cleaning result.

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

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

Eco Wash
Use the Eco Wash setting when you want to save water and energy. It's ideal for normally soiled loads, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, and glasses.

Status Light
ASKO’s new generation dishwashers come equipped with a Status Light – a small light placed in the bottom right corner to indicate 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 design our dishwashers to last.

LED Interior Light
The combination of outer and inner LED lights is designed for optimal intensity and durability, providing excellent visibility 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, yet still achieves results comparable to the Normal program. Let’s go greener!

Speed Mode
When you need to clean items quickly, the Speed Mode can save up to 50% of the normal washing time by utilizing more water and increased heating.

Night Mode
Night Mode reduces noise by 2 dB thanks to lower pressure in the spray arm, making it perfect for nighttime use or in homes with open-plan living areas.

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

Quick Pro Wash
Sometimes, you need to use the same kitchenware in short intervals. The Quick Pro Wash program only takes half an hour—perfect for dinner parties or baking sessions.

Plastic Wash
The Plastic program washes and dries your plastic kitchenware perfectly. If there's room left, you can wash ordinary porcelain and glass at the same time.

Lower Half Wash
The Lower Half Wash program sprays only the bottom half of the machine, which means less water and energy are used, making it a more environmentally friendly way to clean your plates and cutlery.

Upper Half Wash
The Upper Half Wash program sprays only the top part of the machine, using less water and energy than a normal program, saving both your time and the environment.

Rinse & Hold
The Rinse and Hold program allows you to avoid dried leftovers while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded, saving time and energy over time.

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 water level during operation. For safety reasons, the drain pump’s capacity is five times that of the inlet valve.

Power Zone Cutlery
A special nozzle spray zone for the cutlery basket ensures your cutlery is sparkling clean. There is also a similar nozzle 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, also preventing accidental setting changes.

Anti Siphon
For our fully integrated dishwashers, the Anti-siphon solution safely keeps water inside the machine, 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 extra deep, ensuring that the blades remain steady during the wash cycle.

InstantLift
Our InstantLift height adjustment system allows for an increase of 1-1/2" or 2-1/4" in the upper rack—a simple and flexible way to create space for all your items.

10 Spray
ASKO’s spray system features up to 10 effective spray zones to ensure a thorough clean. The lower rack includes three power zones to tackle the dirtiest dishes.

4 Level Rack
ASKO’s four-level rack system enables you to optimize the load. You can remove, adjust, fold, and move the racks, pin rows, and cutlery rack to suit your needs.

Folding Tines
The foldable tines in the lower tray make it easy to load different sizes of pots and pans, offering maximum flexibility.

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

Telescopic Rails
ASKO employs telescopic guide rails with ball bearings to make the racks glide smoothly and quietly. The whole rack can be removed for easy loading and unloading.

Removable Middle Rack
The Twin Tubes spray zone makes the middle rack perfect for lightly soiled glasses and similar items. It can be easily removed if you need more space, while spray pressure is retained if the basket is taken out.

3 Spray Arms
The three spray-arm technique ensures every corner is reached, and with up to 10 highly effective spray zones, no dirt can escape—even the lasagna baking dish.

TouchProof
The ultra-thin, transparent TouchProof coating protects your dishwasher from stains and grease. It's easy to clean and scratch-resistant, keeping your dishwasher looking brand new year after year.

18 Piece Loading Capacity
Room for 18 place settings allows larger pots and plates to fit in the upper rack. Our XXL dishwashers feature a four-level rack system, including a knife rack, upper rack, middle rack, and lower rack. With 18 place settings, the consumption is only 0.525 L per place setting.

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 plate in the lower rack when the middle rack is removed and the upper rack is positioned at the highest setting.

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

Knife Holders
Knives are sensitive items, as are fingers. Our knife holder is extra deep, ensuring 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, ensuring a clean cut every time.

Multi Position Glass Rack
The Multi Position Glass Rack is practical and can be mounted in three different positions to meet your needs.

Auto Dose - Demands Less of You
Through years of research, we have identified the precise amount of detergent required for consistently perfect cleaning results. This is our responsibility. That’s why we designed Auto Dose, which stores up to 30 days’ worth of detergent in our dishwashers. This means you only need to fill it once a month. Simply load your dishes, choose your program, and you’re ready to go. Hassle-free, as it should be.

Focus Points - A Hint of Nature
Opening the door of our new dishwasher reveals high-grade steel and many clever features, highlighted by colors that mimic nature's focus. Closing the door keeps the machine discreetly in place, enhancing your kitchen's aesthetic.

Maintenance Tips 

The Asko DBI786IXXLSSOF is a high-end dishwasher with advanced features like an XXL tub, water softener, and a sleek stainless-steel design. To ensure its continued performance, efficiency, and longevity, follow these maintenance tips:

1. Clean the Filters Regularly

• Weekly Cleaning: Clean the dishwasher's filters at least once a week to remove food debris and prevent clogs. A clogged filter can lead to poor cleaning results and inefficiency.
• How to Clean: Remove the filter assembly and rinse it under warm water. Use a soft brush to scrub any stubborn residue.
• Check for Proper Reinstallation: After cleaning, make sure the filters are properly installed to avoid leaks or poor drainage.

2. Descale the Dishwasher

• Frequency: In areas with hard water, use a dishwasher-safe descaling agent every 1-2 months to remove mineral buildup. This will protect the internal components, including the heating element, and maintain efficient performance.
• Vinegar Cycle: Run a cycle with a cup of white vinegar every couple of months to help break down mineral deposits inside the dishwasher.

3. Maintain the Water Softener

• Refill the Salt: If your dishwasher has a built-in water softener, regularly check and refill the salt container. This will help ensure the water remains soft and prevent mineral buildup in the dishwasher.
• Use Proper Salt: Only use dishwasher-specific salt to avoid clogging or damaging the water softener system.

4. Clean the Spray Arms

• Check for Blockages: Periodically remove the spray arms and inspect them for blockages. Lint, food particles, or mineral deposits can clog the nozzles.
• How to Clean: Rinse the spray arms under warm water to remove any debris. You can use a soft brush to clear out stubborn blockages, ensuring the nozzles remain unobstructed.

5. Maintain the Door Seal and Gasket

• Clean the Gasket: Wipe down the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any buildup. This will prevent mold or mildew from forming.
• Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the gasket for cracks, tears, or signs of wear. A damaged door seal can cause water leakage, so replace it if necessary.

6. Run Cleaning Cycles

• Monthly Maintenance Cycle: Once a month, run a cleaning cycle using a dishwasher cleaner or white vinegar to clean the interior components and eliminate odors.
• Use the Hottest Water Setting: For the best results, run the cleaning cycle on the hottest setting to help break down grease, grime, and mineral buildup.

7. Inspect the Drainage System

• Check for Blockages: Regularly inspect the drain hose and filter for any obstructions. Food debris or mineral buildup can affect drainage and the cleaning process.
• Ensure Proper Drainage: Ensure that the drain hose is properly connected and free of kinks to allow water to drain efficiently.

8. Properly Load Dishes

• Avoid Overloading: Properly load the dishwasher to ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely and clean all dishes thoroughly.
• Dish Placement: Place large items on the bottom rack and smaller items on the top rack. Be careful not to block the spray arms with large pots, pans, or dishes.

9. Use High-Quality Detergent and Rinse Aid

• Detergent: Use high-quality, phosphate-free dishwasher detergent to ensure optimal cleaning performance. Avoid using regular dish soap, as it can cause excess suds and may damage the machine.
• Rinse Aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser to improve drying performance, especially in hard water areas. This helps prevent water spots and improves the overall finish of your dishes.

10. Inspect Water Inlet and Hoses

• Check for Leaks: Periodically check the water inlet valve and hoses for any signs of leaks or damage. Tighten any loose connections and replace hoses if they show signs of wear.
• Clear the Inlet: Ensure that the water inlet is not clogged with debris, as this can affect the dishwasher’s ability to fill properly during a cycle.

11. Maintain the Stainless Steel Exterior

• Clean Regularly: Wipe the stainless-steel surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent to remove fingerprints, smudges, and dirt.
• Use Stainless Steel Cleaner: For a polished, streak-free finish, use a stainless steel cleaner to keep the appliance looking new.

12. Monitor for Error Codes or Malfunctions

• Check for Error Codes: If the dishwasher displays any error codes, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps. Early detection and fixing of malfunctions can prevent more severe issues from developing.
• Listen for Unusual Noises: If you hear any unusual noises, such as grinding or rattling, it could indicate an issue with the pump or motor. If necessary, contact a professional technician for an inspection.
