Dishwashers & LaunDry 2010

Our storyThe asKO story is a good one. it started back in 1950 in Vara, sweden, with an innovative young man’s dream to build a washing machine for his mother to suit her every need. a unique, energy and water efficient machine that would reflect a farmer’s love for nature. One with superior cleaning performance and reliability that could heat water, spin and even boast durable, state-of-the-art stainless steel drums. a washing machine that would surpass even his meticulous mother’s high standards. so he built a world-class facility right on the family farm – where it still stands today – and asKO was born.

2

asKO in 2010 still lives up to its unique heritage, being swedish to us means we care for the environment and we care about how well our products perform. rather than produce kitchen and laundry aplliances with fancy features that you may never use. we maintain a close association with our swedish heritage, that is to produce class leading products that offer value for money and performance to match. asKO also has environmental accreditation isO14001 and isO9001.These are just certain production measures we take to uphold our core values. Match this with the fact that all parts over 50 grams are marked for recycling. we endeavour to be at the forefront in all facets of production.

why buy an asKO washing machinea washing machine is one of the most used products in any household. so at asKO we believe a washer must fulfill our core vaules of durability, individuality and of course be true to our scandinavian heritage. swedish design is unique, with its own aesthetic expression and appearance. it is pure, simple and minimalistic. it is also extremely functional and ergonomic. asKO’s new range of laundry appliances focuses on these characteristics.

SmartSeal™is a truly unique feature,our washer is unlike any other domestic washer in the world. Our front load washer has no rubber seal. so no more having to clean those big rubber seals or having to worry about dragging your clean clothing through a rubber seal. By not having a conventional rubber seal asKO’s smartseal approach will also make loading your machine far easier.

eaSy to USeMost modern day washing machines are designed with a host of buttons and dials and hard to understand symbols.an asKO washer though is designed with a simply clearly marked dial, which is not only minimalistic but easy to use. simply select the program you want eg normal wash and the machine will automatically select, the spin speed, temperature and automatically adjust the water and energy required. all you need to do as a consumer is enjoy the results!

QUattro-Independent SUSpenSIon SyStemwill stop those unwanted vibrations coming from your machine. no longer will need to contend with shake rattle and roll. Quattro is completely separate from the body of the machine it contains all our vibration and re-directs it back towards the floor rather than through the machine.

the envIronmentall asKO washers have a 4,5 star water and energy rating but this is only the start of our environmental policy. at asKO all machines are equiped with technology called sensisave which automatically reduces water and energy consumption based on the size of the load. as a consumer you will be guaranteed of minimising precious resources every time you wash. Our washing machines are manufactured under strict guidelines set by our isO14001 environmental Management systems. also adding to this is our responsible policy to recycling, 96% of our washing machine is marked for recycling.

dUrabIlItywhen we buy a washing machine one of its main requirements is to perform for a long time. at asKO we believe the use of steel over plastic will give us the edge in longevity. Take our image on the next page. This is a picture of the inside of our machines look at the amount of steel we use. steel is one of longest lasting and hygienic materials on earth.

washersease of use is one of the key objectives our designers always bring with them to the drawing board. at asKO we believe that function and form are equally important. Take our new range of washers for example, where all programs automatically select load size and adjust the water- and energy usage and even the length of the wash cycle accordingly. The only thing you have to do is simply select a programs, desired temperature and press start.

it doesn’t get any easier to use than that.

how does it work?The eCO washer has both a cold & hot water connection. This allows for the washer to automatically adjust the mix-ture of water flowing into the machine depending on what temperature you choose. The real benefit to this is you will reduce your washing time and energy consumption as you bypass the heating

element of the machine. By choosing the w6883 you can save up to 60% of the machines electrical consumption, when compared to an asKO washing machine with only a cold water connection.

a smart choicewe all know that washing machines need hot water so it seems crazy not to use the hot water that is already available in our homes. This applies especially when you have an environmentally friendly and economic source of hot water, such as district heating, solar panels or a heat pump. Then you are using a source of hot water that is already there and the machine doesn’t need to consume as much electrical energy on heating the water. By choosing our hot and cold water connected eCO washer, you save up to 60% of the machine’s electrical energy consumption.

* Measured on white/colour normal program.** Measured on a cold water inlet of 15ºC and a hot water inlet of 55ºC.*** at 90ºC the main wash is shortened in order to save the load, but still having best possible solving result.

why buy an asKO dryera dryer is not only a dryer to asKO. But more a way of reducing your time needed to wash and dry clothing. all our dryers can be stacked on top of your washer creating a seamless look with your washer.

SenSIdry™we believe drying your clothing should be as simple as possible and as accurate as possible. so to do this we have devised a sensor drying system call sensiDry: it constantly measures the level of moisture in your clothing and then determines when you clothing is dry and automatically switches off. sensidry works on all our auto Pro-grams by leaving a different level of moisture after each program is completed. For example those hard to iron linen shirts, do not need to be completely dry or they will crease. so to make ironing easier the auto iron Dry program in conjunction with our sensidry system will leave a % of moisture in the garment suitable for ironing.

FUnctIonalItyOur dryers are so easy to use simply select the program which best suits your garments and the dryer will automatically dry them. But this is not where it ends for your convenience the dryer estimates how long it will take to dry your clothes and then gives you an audible and visual signal when the clothes are dry. The dryer can also be set to delayed start to accommodate off peak energy savings or set the dryer to come on to suit your busy lifestyle.

deSIgnOur asKO dryer is designed like no other. it will perfectly complement an asKO washer (w6443,w6863, w6883 eCO, ) it has exactly the same dimensions as the washer so it can either be stacked on top or sit by side on the floor. The user interface is also identical to the washer making it coordinated in its design and also gives the user a sense of familiarity in its operation. The front door of the dryer can also be hung left or right depending on what your requirements are.

dUrabIlItyOur dryers drum is made from stainless steel with high performance bearings to cope with the tumbling motion of our dryers. another unique design feature is our one way tumbling action. Most dryers will stop and rotate in the opposite direction not with an asKO. Our tests have shown our dryers not only work more effectively but last longer by not stopping and tumbling in the reverse direction.

Dryer & DryinG CaBineTa dryer unlike what australia has been accustomed to. This is no ordinary dryer simply load it and select the drying program best suited to the garments. Then a series of sensors will dry the garment to a point when it considered dry.

a conventional tumble dryer cannot dry all type of garments as many are labelled ”Don’t tumble dry”. hanging your clothes outdoor might expose them to direct sunlight which can damage them. The new asKO Drying Cabinet is a flexible, modern day solution.

why buy an asKO dishwasherasKO dishwashers are first and foremost built to perform. we pride ourselves on building dishwashers that not only enhance the appearance of your kitchen. But meet the highest standards in both performance and the environment. Many of our features are unique and designed with the consumer in mind. how many times have you purchased a product purely based upon one factor only to get it home and it does not fulfill your needs.

baSketSOur baskets not only meet our stringent tests but also can cope with any type of crockery. we build baskets that can cope with more crockery a full 14 place settings not 12 like many of our competitors. This because our baskets are designed with ball bearing runners on the upper baskets, and the lower basket comes out fully not partially like many competitors. Our baskets are also durable and are built to last, check them out feel the way they effortlessly glide.

perFormanceall our dishwashers will wash and dry and minimise wastage of energy and water. Tested on a normal wash our dishwashers have a 3.5 star energy rating and 4 star water rating. To meet your performance expectations we have flexible program and temperature options.

noISe levela modern day dishwasher must be quiet. Look at the way we live in open plan homes. all asKO dishwashers are quiet and the simplest way to understand that is to turn one on. To just compare noise ratings is not an accurate method, as not all dishwasher noise levels are measured the same way. we use a special dual insulation process to make our dishwasher quiet, we even suspend our pumps to reduce any unwanted vibration noise.

8Steel™The true test of quality is to look and feel a product. asKO dishwashers use more steel and less plastic. Most items that come in contact with water are 18/10 stainless steel just like your sink. we have developed a system where the 8 most important parts of the dishwasher are either made of stainless steel or galvanized steel. This will lengthen not only the lifespan but keep the dishwasher performing and looking good for years to come.

Water SaFetyPeace of Mind: a dishwasher should be used and forgotten, one does not want to come home to find water spilling on the floor. all our dishwashers use a series of measures to protect you, it all starts with our Pex hosing with brass fitting ends. This protects and makes sure water is fed into the dishwasher without any leakage. and if there is ever a leak in the dishwasher our aqua Block system will take care of that.

The world’s largest, most flexible, Our new range of dishwashers have surpassed even asKO’s high standards. we have built the most flexible dishwasher on the market with intelligent loading options and a host of unique benefits. asKO has 2 different sized dishwashers which allows us to have an increased internal capacity of 54cm & 58cm. we even have a dishwasher we affectionately call Mr Big which has 4 baskets! and offers the ultimate solution for the consumer who want’s the best.

We care for the environmentin combination with their capacity our dishwashers have extremely low water consumption. They have a 4 star water rating and the water usage is as little as down to 0.58 litres per place setting for the XXL and down to 0.62 litres per place settings for the standard model. Compare this with the amount of water you use when you wash something up by hand. we are also proud to say that all of our dishwashers have a 3,5 star energy rating and a in energy consumption and cleaning and drying result. The manufacturing process is certified to isO 14001 and detergent usage is 25 grams only. whichever model you choose from our range it will be energy efficient with low water consumption and it will clean and dry with a perfect result.

the Quality of Being fleXiBle if you look up flexible in a dictionary it says capable of change or easily persuaded. This in a few words sums up what our dishwashers are all about. They are easily changed between different modes to fit your current loads and it is not difficult to adjust them to meet your demands –all for a perfect solution.

XXl - simPly more fleXiBlewith improved loading heights all the way up to 58cm. no longer will you need to worry about will your large plate fit into the dishwasher. an asKO dishwasher will accommodate a plate up to 39cm (depending on model). Or how about at your next party a tall wineglass of 23cm.

DuraBility The baskets are the most abused item in a dishwasher: so at asKO we only use the highest grade steel on our baskets and coat them to last longer. But we not only do that we offer some clever built in features, like ball bearing runners on our upper basket. we suggest you go and check out our baskets and make the comparison for yourself.
