1 Appliances for those who appreciate the difference. Between house wine and first-growth Bordeaux A violin and a Stradivarius Porcelain and bone china Silver plate and sterling silver

2 House wine and first-growth Bordeaux 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.

3 First-growth wines have superior color, bouquet, clarity, body and taste. Only five vineyards in the world are classified as first-growth for their red wines. BUILT TO LAST LONGER

4 A violin and a Stradivarius Model D3530SS shown. The D3250SS has the same door.

5 Prized for its distinctive resonance and vibrant voice, a genuine Strad has a pedigree attached 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. N E W F E A T U R E The thinking machine ASKO 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. N E W F E A T U R E Total control ASKO 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. 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. SPECIAL FEATURE A capacity for greatness ASKO is so roomy, it ll easily accommodate 12 international place settings with room to spare. Many other dishwashers barely hold 10. 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. N E W F E A T U R E Strategic jet streams The 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. Dry dishes The 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. More steel than any dishwasher Wherever 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. Pristine clean Our 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.

6 Porcelain and bone china Model D3350SS shown.

7 Unlike ordinary porcelain, bone china has bone ash added to the clay to make it stronger and more translucent. ASKO dishwashers are visibly different from ordinary models, but that s only half the story. Read on to discover our hidden assets. SPECIAL FEATURE Peace & quiet There 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. Energy to spare Using 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. SPECIAL FEATURE 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. Built-in consumer protection ASKO s full warranty lasts longer than any other manufacturer s. But with dishwashers built to last 20 years, you may never need it. SPECIAL FEATURE Difference by the drop An 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. Unique loading options These 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. Soap star ASKO 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. Click on askousa.com for complete details.

Racks are coated with Viscant graphite nylon. Tines are double-coated and cushioned on top. Every ASKO dishwasher is EnergyStar rated. The D3000 series has already won an award in Germany s international if Design Contest. To quote the judges, One of the surprising new features is the three-dimensional graphic symbols which are logically designed and easy to understand.

10 All silver has copper added for strength and durability; however, only that containing at least 925 parts 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. N E W F E A T U R E User-friendly controls Our 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. SPECIAL FEATURE Hold everything ASKO 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. A perfect fit ASKO 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 wash No 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.

12 Authentic lead crystal contains lead oxide, which creates sharp and precise cuts. When thumped lightly on the rim, it resounds with a bell-like tone. 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. Grade A washers In 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 drying Our 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. ASKO can go from 85 F up to 205 F. Water from a hot water tank is only 120 F. Temperature is key An 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. 7 ASKO gives 7 rinses to others 3 3 It all comes out in the rinse An 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 frontloaders 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. Gentle giant Ready for a surprise? The flexible ASKO can also wash delicates and woolens more gently than you can even if you did it by hand. 45 minutes Perfect timing ASKO 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 minutes and still produce cleaner clothes than a top-load washer. Most washers use about 44 gallons of water per load. ASKO washers use only about 15. Save money and resources An 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.
