The ASKO Difference.

In 1950, an enterprising young Swedish farmer named Karl-Erik Andersson set out to build his

mother a different kind of washer. A unique, energy- and water-efficient machine that would

reflect a farmer's love and respect for nature. One with superior cleaning power and reliability

that could heat water, spin, and even boast durable, state-of-the-art, stainless steel drums.

A washing machine like no other. So the young farmer built his amazing washer, surpassing

even his meticulous mother's high standards. Indeed, the results were so extraordinary, he

was convinced to share his creation with others. So he built a world-class engineering and

manufacturing facility right on the family farm — where it stands to this day — and a new

company was born. The company we now call ASKO.

Today, ASKO is an international corporation with a full line of high-performance washers,

dryers and dishwashers. ASKO appliances still do a better job of cleaning with a fraction of the

water, electricity and detergent of ordinary machines. Every component is constructed of steel

rather than plastic wherever possible. And every ASKO product is still built with Scandinavian

quality and environmental sensitivity — just as Karl-Erik Andersson intended. In short, ASKO

appliances are some of the best-performing, most ecology-friendly, and longest lasting on earth.

Made especially for those — like a certain Swedish mother — who appreciate the difference.

A violin and a Stradivarius

Model D3530SS shown.The D3250SS has the same door.

Prized for its distinctive resonance and vibrant “voice ,” a genuine Strad has a pedigreeattached that includes past owners and purchase prices.

The right dishwasher makes all the difference. ASKO dishwashers clean and dry better. Use less water and energy. And last longer. They’re

also quieter and have the most user-friendly control systems to choose from. Plus, ASKO holds 20% more than most — which means fewer

loads, more water and energy savings. And style? We’ve got the widest selection on the market. In short, ASKO is the hardest-working

dishwasher around. No wonder people who know the difference ask for ASKO.

Click on askousa.com for complete details.

A capacity for greatnessASKO is so roomy, it’ll easily accommodate 12

international place settings with room to spare.

Many other dishwashers barely hold 10.

Total controlASKO lets you choose the control options you want —

from unique, push-button pads with 3D symbols to sleek

LCD displays that disappear when the door is closed.The thinking machineASKO knows each load is different. That’s why

the D3530 has intelligent washing and drying

sensors, making it the first totally automatic

dish washer and dish dryer on the market.

Custom flexibility The unique MIX™ program in the D3530

automatically adjusts water pressure to

let you wash delicate crystal in the upper

rack, crusty pots & pans below —

simultaneously and safely.

Adjustable racks The Flexi-Rack® system lets you adjust

racks to make more space. Tines in the

D3530 fold down flat. Some models even

have an adjustable wine rack for different

size stemware.

Dry dishesThe Turbo Fan® Drying System blends hot,

humid air inside with cool, dry air from outside,

then drains the condensed moisture into the

bottom of the tank. This time-saving feature

virtually eliminates the need for hand-drying.

Strategic jet streamsThe exclusive PowerZone™ wash system

cleans your toughest items. While one jet

shoots water up directly into crusty pots

and pans, another aims down at cutlery.

Pristine cleanOur patented Super Cleaning System™ gives

you noticeably cleaner dishes with no hand rinsing.

With wash and rinse temperatures up to 170ºF, no

residential dishwasher zaps germs better.More steel than any dishwasherWherever possible, ASKO uses steel instead of

plastic. From the 18:9 stainless steel tank, spray

arms and filter system to the galvanized steel

base pan, nobody uses more steel than ASKO.

Energy to spareUsing as little as 222 kWh per year, ASKO consumes less

electricity than any other full-size dishwasher, including

other EnergyStar® units. Indeed, the energy savings alone

could justify buying an ASKO.

Difference by the dropAn average ASKO load uses less than 4

gallons of water compared to the 7-10

gallons used by typical dishwashers.

Saving you — and the environment —

over 1,000 gallons each year.

The cost of perfection ASKO may cost more initially, but with

energy, water and detergent savings

over a 20-year life span, it’s among

the most cost-efficient on the market.

Soap starASKO uses about half the detergent

other dishwashers do — only 1-1/2

tablespoons. In fact, washing a load

in an ASKO is far cheaper than

doing it by hand.

Built-in consumer protectionASKO’s full warranty lasts longer than

any other manufacturer’s. But with

dishwashers built to last 20 years, you

may never need it.

Unique loading optionsThese are the first premium dishwashers that give

you the ability to wash a Half Load program in just

the upper or lower basket, whichever you prefer.

Several of our models offer this unique feature.

ASKO dishwashers are visibly different from ordinary models, but that’s only half the story. Read on to discover our hidden assets.

Peace & quietThere’s no dishwasher on the market quieter than ASKO.

The D3000 series is even 12% quieter than before. Each

unit is covered with sound-deadening bitumen like that

used in luxury cars. In fact, 30% of the dishwashers’

weight is sound-absorbing material.

Other ASKO features

The D3000 series has already won an award inGermany’s international iF Design Contest. To quotethe judges, “One of the surprising new features isthe three-dimensional graphic symbols which arelogically designed and easy to understand.”

Every ASKO dishwasheris EnergyStar rated.

Hold everythingASKO holds up to 14 lbs of clothes — twice the average

American’s wash load. That translates to about 14 full-sized

bath towels or seven pairs of jeans. And since ASKO washers

have no space-stealing central agitator, they’ll even hold the

large blankets and bedspreads that choke top-loaders.

All silver has copper added for strength and durability; however, only that containingat least 925 par ts pure silver per 1000 may bear the sterling or .925 hallmark .

ASKO is a whole different way to do laundry. Together, our washers and dryers perform noticeably better. Remove more stains. Use far less

water and energy. And last longer. Our stainless steel inner and outer tanks never snag, rust or absorb odors. What's more, the ASKO Laundry

Care System can save you more than $200 per year in water, electricity, detergent and bleach compared to a traditional laundry pair.

The initial cost is more. But for those who know the difference, it's worth it.

User-friendly controlsOur new, fully electronic EasyControl™ system offers a variety of controls. You can choose conventional knobs and buttons with

the program names printed right on the control panel, or the industry’s most sophisticated LCD display that provides virtually

unlimited programming options.

A perfect fitASKO holds more, yet is smaller on the outside

than conventional machines. That makes for easy

installation in compact locations. And ASKO units

are stackable, so you can store them in closets,

under stairs — just about anywhere that’s handy.

It all comes out in the washNo laundry system outcleans ASKO. One reason is

our cold-water prewash, which removes stains that

can be set by the hot-water prewash found in most

domestic machines. And unlike most top-loaders,

ASKO washers lift and drop laundry hundreds of times

in and out of clean, hot water to remove more soil.

Grade A washersIn European tests, ASKO washers earned the highest possible rating

of "A" for overall cleaning, rinsing and energy and water efficiency.

They also rinsed out almost 40% more detergent residue. And all

our washers proudly bear the US EnergyStar® label identifying

highly efficient products and superior energy performance. Better

cleaning, better rinsing, better conservation of precious resources.

A better spin on dryingOur dryers automatically stop when clothes are dry so

you don’t waste time or energy, or damage clothing. Our

exclusive Butterfly Drying System™

tumbles clothes in a figure eight to

reduce wrinkling — a feature that

could cut your ironing time in half.

It all comes out in the rinseAn ASKO washer can rinse up to seven times and

remove virtually any trace of detergent residue, yet

still use only 20 gallons of water. A typical top-load

washer rinses no more than twice, many front-

loaders only three times, and all leave lots of residue.

The ASKO is great for people with sensitive skin,

allergies, or just an aversion to itchy, smelly residue.

Temperature is keyAn ASKO washer can precisely match the optimal

temperature for any garment or stain. From cold

(85°F) to warm (120°F), or as hot as 205°F for

maximum germ-killing effectiveness, ASKO can

handle it. Since ASKO connects only to cold water

and heats internally, you have plenty left in your

hot water tank for a relaxing bubble bath.

Save money and resourcesAn ASKO pair can wash and dry a typical load for about

28¢ — a fraction of what other machines cost. That’s

because ASKO uses up to 75% less water and electricity

for a normal load. ASKO washers clean so efficiently, you

need only one-third the detergent and no chlorine bleach.

Perfect timingASKO works as fast as you need it. Small load? The Super Quick Wash

program can run in just 35 minutes. More laundry than time? Choose

the Quick Wash program that can wash a full-sized load in only 45

Gentle giantReady for a surprise? The flexible

ASKO can also wash delicates and

woolens more gently than you

can even if you did it by hand.

Like a fine wine, ASKO shows its true mettle over time. Each component is designed to perform for 20 years — the tanks and drums for a

lifetime. Best of all, we can stand behind every washer and dryer we make because we test every unit — and every program — before it

leaves the factory. In short, the ASKO Laundry Care System is one of the highest quality, best performing, most energy-efficient in the world

today. And we think that makes a difference.

Most washersuse about 44

gallons of waterper load. ASKOwashers use

only about 15.
