ASKO
Appliance Installation

ASKO installs mean a compact Scandinavian dish care machine or laundry pair, set level and stacked with the maker's own kit where space is short.

ASKO appliances,
specifically.

ASKO's own US dish care manual gives an installer exact numbers rather than general advice: a maximum drain-hose height, an access-hole size for the power cord, a note that the internal air gap means no external one is required. Its cold storage line separately documents a showroom setting that stops the cabinet from cooling until it is turned off by hand.

What is particular
to ASKO.

We take on ASKO cold storage, dish care and laundry; ASKO does not sell a cooking appliance line in the US.

A drain hose height stated to the inch

ASKO's own installation instructions cap the drain hose at 37 3/8 inches above the appliance's own base and say to use the largest workable diameter for the cut end, both of them checks made at the hookup, not after a call-back.

No external air gap needed on this dish care line

ASKO's manual notes the appliance already carries an internal air gap and high loop, so no separate air-gap fitting is required unless a local building code demands one — a detail worth knowing before a plumber adds one that was never necessary.

An access hole sized for the power cord, not the plug

ASKO specifies the electrical access hole in the cabinet at no larger than 1 1/2 inches and round rather than square, with a metal partition needing an edge protector, so the cutout has to be planned before the cabinetry goes in, not cut afterward.

A showroom setting on the cold storage line

ASKO's own troubleshooting for its cold storage line lists a showroom setting that keeps the control panel live while the refrigeration system stays off, cleared with a two-button press rather than a service call.

Parts

ASKO's own manual calls for the inlet hose supplied with the appliance rather than a reused or spare hose, and a visit follows that instruction rather than fitting whatever hose is on the truck.

Repair or replace

Every ASKO first-run item documented here — a drain hose trimmed to height, a showroom setting turned off, an access hole sized correctly before cabinetry closes around it — is settled without a replacement part.

What we are
called out for.

On ASKO, most often drain backing up after an install: plug, loop and standpipe.

Questions about
ASKO appliances.

Does an ASKO dish care machine need a separate air gap fitting under the sink?
ASKO's own manual says no in most cases: the appliance already has an internal air gap and high loop drain line built in, and an external air gap is only needed if the local building code specifically requires one.
How high can the drain hose be routed on an ASKO dish care machine before it causes problems?
ASKO's installation instructions set the limit at 37 3/8 inches (950 mm) above the bottom of the appliance. Going over that height, or leaving a kink in the hose, is the documented cause of a drainage alert on a first run.
The cold storage unit's panel is lit but it never gets cold. What is showroom mode?
It's a setting ASKO's own manual lists alongside an unplugged cord and a tripped breaker as reasons a unit won't cool: the panel stays live but the refrigeration system is intentionally held off. ASKO's fix is a specific two-button hold rather than a technician visit.
