DISHWASHERS

Quality in every detail
At ASKO, we design and manufacture premium quality dishwashers and laundry products with a
special Scandinavian touch for form and function. Ever since we began to manufacture washing
machines in the early 1950s, our goal has been to produce premium quality products that will
meet and exceed our customers’ expectations for many years to come. How do we build
durability? We test all our products before they leave our factories and we also perform long life
tests of 12,500 hours on our dishwashers, equal to approximately 20 years of use.
We are proud that our products meet the highest demands in design, function and durability, as
well as environmental awareness. They clean better, use less water and last longer. Accordingly, we
are also certied to ISO 9001:2000 standards, which ensure that our products are always of the
highest conceivable quality.

ASKO factories have always had nature on their doorstep.
Therefore, it is natural for us to preserve and protect our
environment. We continuously strive to nd the most environmentally friendly solutions and
economical use of resources in the manufacturing of our products. By caring for the
environment, we work to minimize the environmental impact of all our activities and products.
Our dishwashers are among the most water and energy efcient on the market. In 2007,
we were proud to introduce the world’s rst Swan labeled dishwasher. The Swan label is the
most well known Nordic Ecolabel for health and environmentally friendly products, and a
Swan label certies that the products meet very strict and tough demands for quality and
the environment. All ASKO dishwashers are rated by Energy Star®, an organization that
helps consumers choose energy-efcient and environmentally friendly products.
ASKO factories also have environmental certication in accordance with ISO 14001:2004
which means that everything is done in the most environmentally friendly way possible. As
an example, all components in our appliances that weigh more than 25 grams are labeled for
recycling.

Our design
philosophy
The combination of everyday functionality,
timeless design, environmental concern and
clean lines is the principal hallmark of ASKO’s
design. The fundamental idea is that carefully
designed products should raise your quality of
life.
SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN
To distinguish ourselves in a market of cluttered and
complex designs, we aim for a soft, humanistic minimalism
based on the principle of quiet being the new loud. The key
elements of Scandinavian design – understated elegance,
high quality craftsmanship and natural materials – are
reected in ASKO’s design elements. Much emphasis is also
placed on function. We strive to make life easier by offering
truly user-friendly, trouble-free, durable products that last
for many years.
DESIGN AWARDS
ASKO has gained global recognition for design, innovation,
low energy consumption and product development. For
example, we have been awarded the prestigious I.D. Design
Award and we have also received the ADEX design award
on numerous occasions. We are proud to be a winner of
the iF Design Product Design Award, as well as the
prestigious Red Dot award.
With our full line of ASKO dishwashers, we provide you more value and solutions for your money in
every detail. Sturdy exible racks and the lowest water and energy consumption on the market, they
are designed to meet all of your demands when choosing a new dishwasher.
The new generation of dishwashers, the XXL D5000 series, has the world’s largest loading height and
most usable space, plus a unique new exible four rack system with a combination of up to seven
baskets. The D5000 models can also accomodate larger plates - at least 13 ¾” and up to 15 ⅓” - as
well as larger pots and pans and taller kitchen utensils.
Exclusive ASKO Features
TURBO FAN® DRYING
No more hand drying! After the
nal rinse, the moist air in the
dishwasher is mixed with air from
the outside, and the contents get
completely dry.
POWER ZONES™
This patented system features
separate and unique spray nozzles
that spray water directly into 3 zones
- pots & pans, plates, and cutlery.
Results are unbeatable - even better
than handwashing!
SUPER CLEANING SYSTEM™
This patented system cleans the ne
strainer and all interior surfaces after
the pre-wash and before main wash.
Meaning, the wash starts with rinsed
dishes, a clean machine, an empty
strainer and fresh, clean water.
More steel, less plastic
At ASKO we develop smart, durable solutions and we always choose high-quality materials in the
manufacturing of our products - like steel instead of plastic. Many of the solutions and the choice of
materials that make ASKO products last longer are hidden deep within our machines. You may never
see them, but the performance and durability of our dishwashers will prove to you that these
solutions are present.
9Steel™
ASKO’s dishwashers are made of steel; no other
dishwasher has so many parts made of steel instead of
plastic. The tank is held securely in the outer frame with
four stainless bolts. This is a unique, durable solution
that you will only find in ASKO dishwashers. No other
material lasts as long as steel, especially in environments
where water, rinse aid and detergent are everyday
factors. This is why we manufacture our dishwashers
with nine of the most important components made from
high-quality steel rather than plastic: tank, loading racks,
spray pipe, spray arms, filters, outer base, adjustable
leveling legs, upper basket rails and flow-through heater.
Our dishwashers are built to last longer, and they do.
leak-proof
To eliminate the risk of flooding in the kitchen we have
developed AquaSafe™, an advanced water safety system
encompassing up to 16 different features and
components, all of which help to ensure a leak-safe
dishwasher.
an all-welded tank deSIGned
to neVer leak
Welding the outer tank, rather than folding and
gluing like most manufacturers, considerably
reduces the risk of leakage. It also increases the
dishwasher’s life span, ensures quiet operation
and makes for a sturdier product.
