ASKO
BUILT-IN DISHWASHER

A design that reveals
ASKO’s inner values
The ASKO dishwashers by Hafele are made of
steel. This has been a well-known fact for decades
and when you open the door, you will see more
steel than in any other dishwasher on the market.
With our new generation of dishwashers we want to
emphasise this fact even more. Take a look at the
door and you will see only high-quality steel with no
division between door and panel. It expresses itself
as a sturdy and reliable machine, yet retains elegant,
sleek and sophisticated lines stemming from the
minimalism of the Scandinavian mindset.

We have created different modes to make it easy for you to adapt your favourite dishwashing programme to new
situations. Instead of choosing from a long list of programmes and then a long list of different options and settings, you
can now easily choose one appropriate mode and press start.
Green mode
Green mode saves both water and
energy. The temperature is lowered
and each stage of the cycle is
extended to save water and achieve
the same perfect washing results as a
normal programme.
Intensive mode
Select this mode when you have dirty
dishes with dried food. Intensive
mode increases the spray arm
pressure and more heat and water is
used during the cycle.
Speed mode
If you want your dishes ready faster,
select the speed mode to reduce the
programme time by 50%. To achieve
the best possible washing results in
the time available, more water and
energy are used.
Designed for different situations

For all of us who let the dishwasher work while we sleep, we have created
the Night Mode. With this mode the water pressure in the spray arms
is lowered, reducing the noise level by as much as 2 dB compared to
the tested value. This mode is also perfect for open plan solutions with
seamless kitchen and living spaces.

DISHWASHER FEATURES

Our unique and improved Super Cleaning System
(SCS+) is an intelligent feature that will save you
time, electricity, water and effort. With this patented
cleaning system you don’t need to rinse your dishes
before putting them into your dishwasher. SCS+
cleans the fine filter and all the interior surfaces after
pre-wash, before running the main wash. This means
that the wash starts with rinsed dishes, a clean
machine, an empty filter and fresh, clean water.
Aqua Safe™is an advanced safety system with
16 control points which continuously monitor
the machine for leaks. If there is a potential leak
detected, this system immediately stops the
machine.
If it leaks it’s not an ASKO!

Orrefors is a Swedish company that manufactures premium crystal glassware.
One of the goals of partnership between ASKO and Orrefors is to finally put an end to the myth that crystal glasses cannot be cleaned
in a dishwasher. While this is true for some dishwashers, crystal can certainly be washed in an ASKO.
The secret is the Crystal glass programme, which ensures that the water temperature increases gradually and is then maintained evenly,
with a difference of just ±1°C. Place your valuable crystal in the secure wine glass holders in the upper basket. From now on, it is safer
to wash your sensitive crystal glasses in an ASKO than by hand.
Orrefors recommends ASKO
Tested for thousands of cycles
To be sure that our Crystal Glass programme keeps what we promise we exposed
several Orrefors crystal glasses for extensive testing (according to standard test SS
EN 12875-12005). Our initial goal was to keep glass corrosion under level two on a
four-step assessment scale after 1000 cycles. But after 1000 cycles we decided to run
another 1000 cycles since we couldn´t find any glass corrosion. The same assessment
was made after 2000 cycles with the same result.

The dishwashers have a completely
integrated drying system where it
first uses the heat from the dishes to
evaporate the remaining water. The
fan leads the steam through a duct
in the door where the cooler room air
is used to re-condensate it and then
lead the water down to the
dishwasher's bottom well, from
where it is then pumped out.
An extra fan is present as well, that
blows indoor tempered air into the
dishwasher compartment in order to
boost the drying process. This will
shorten the program time and will
dry even plastic objects.

Asko Dishwashers by Hafele offer multiple programmes that best suit the need of the user whether its getting the best cleaning result in an
hour, a deep hygienic cleaning that could last up to 2 hours or just running a cleaning cycle for a few utensils at a time. We have got you
covered!
SPECIALLY DESIGNED PROGRAMMES
18

A programme intended for washing plastic items that are
dishwasher safe. Thanks to our Turbo Drying Express™
even your plastic items will be dry. This programme has an
extra long drying cycle.
The Self-cleaning programme ensures that the tub, water
recycling tank and spray system are thoroughly cleaned.
Regular cleaning is essential for both washing performance
and the machine’s longevity. Use standard detergent, citric
acid or a special dishwasher cleaning agent.
The hygiene programme can be used for effective cleaning
of baby bottles and other objects that can be good to keep
extra clean. To prevent the growth of bacteria and remove
odours from chopping boards, for example, we raise
the temperature to 70°C in the main wash and final rinse
programmes. This is also ideal for thorough washing of
jars for people who make their own jam or marmalade. The
result is extra clean and hygienic.

This is a programme inspired by the world of professional
dishwashers where speed is the key. The Quick Pro Wash
programme is perfect when you know that you will need the
same crockery, glasses or other utensils several times on
the same occasion.
After starting the programme and the first water intake, the
water is heated to approximately 65°C and kept there for
up to three hours. The washing cycle then starts from this
preheated stand-by mode, enabling very short programme
times down to 20 minutes.

programme you get maximum rinse effect.
A powerful yet short programme (shorter than the wash
programme), that removes dried-in leftovers from your
dishes and provides maximum rinse effect.

to wash plates and cutlery in the lower basket. Slightly
dirty dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
If you have cups and glasses that need washing in
the upper basket, you should use our upper half load
programme. Slightly dirty dishes can also be placed in
the lower basket.
