A
Auto Wash
The intelligent automatic program. You no longer have to think about
which program or option to choose to clean and dry different kinds of
loads. ASKO’s Auto Wash controls both cleaning and drying (on some
models) automatically. All you need to do is press the start button, and
the SensiClean™ sensor ensures you have the right temperature, cycle
and drying for perfect results - with minimum time, water and energy
consumption.
AquaDetect™ sensor
A unique sensor system that detects whether the machine’s inlets valve
is leaking. The system then repeatedly tries to close the valve
electronically, and if this fails the automatic drain pump starts up and
the water is pumped out. The sensors also detect if the quantity of
water is rising above the safety level. They then close off the water and
empty the dishwasher to the right level before the program continues.
Even the most unexpected things can happen, for example the sensors
and valves could stop working. This is why the drain pump can pump
out five times more water than the inlet valve lets in.
AquaLevel™ sensor
Our sensors work together intelligently to ensure an optimum water
level in the machine. The sensors detect when the quantity of water
exactly matches the program you have selected, and it always lets in the
right amount of water regardless of the water pressure. Also, the
sensors monitor the entire wash process and remedy any
shortcomings during the program. If, for example, you wash a large
plastic bowl which gets turned over and fills up with water, reducing the
amount of effective water in the dishwasher, the machine immediately
adds new water to ensure the full cleaning result. The sensors also
make sure that the dishwasher does not start should you happen to
forget to turn the water on.
AquaSafe™
To assure ourselves that you won’t experience floods in the kitchen,
we’ve developed AquaSafe™, an advanced water safety program that
partly consists of sensors that detect even the slightest leak. The
system comprises 16 different points, all of which help ensure a
leak-safe dishwasher for many years of problem-free operation.
C
CoolTouch™
A fan cools the dishes down to hand temperature in 30 minutes,
so there’s no risk of handling hot dishes when unloading the machine.
Curved handle design
See Types of Handles section on the door for individual need page.
Convection Drying
Drying process that uses the residual heat from the final rinse and the
stainless steel interior liner to evaporate moisture from the dishes.
D
Daily wash
Perfect for everyday use, wash and dry program ready in 90 minutes.
dB(A)
A measurement of sound decibels.
Delay Start
Allows you to delay starting of the dishwasher from ½-24 hours
(varies depending on model.)
Delicate wash/Glass wash
A very gentle program that carefully washes delicate items so they
are sparkling clean. Ideal for sensitive items such as fragile glasses, for
example. First a main wash including pre-soak at a basic temperature of
105ºF/40ºC, followed by two rinses and drying with low spray
pressure.
E
EasyInstall™
Water, electrical and drain supply lines are already connected, making it
easy to install your ASKO dishwasher.
F
FlexiRacks™
ASKO’s dishwasher rack system which provides endless loading
possibilities. See FlexiRacks™ assortment page.
Fully Integrated design (FI)
With a wide range of finish options and handles, you can customize the
front panel of your ASKO dishwasher to match anything from
custom wood cabinetry to the latest trends.
H
Half load wash
You should not have to run the dishwasher at full capacity if it is only
half full. Thanks to the 1/2 Load function you can select a wash in the
upper or lower rack only. The spraying arm diverter then chooses to
activate either the upper or the lower spraying arm. You save water,
energy and time, while your load is just as clean as usual.
Heavy wash
This program can clean the dirtiest dishes. First there is a pre-wash at
105ºF /40ºC, then a cold pre-wash and the main wash at 160ºF/ 70ºC
to ensure that heavily soiled loads are completely clean. This is
followed by a spray, three rinses and drying.
K
KidLock™
A two-hand childlock on the door. You have to hold in the childlock
at the same time as opening the door with the handle. This necessary
two-hand maneuver is not something children can manage, so the
dishwasher’s like a locked door to them. However, the childlock is easy
for an adult to activate and deactivate.
KidSafe™
As safe as a bank vault we’ve heard, which isn’t that far off the mark,
at least when it comes to children. Because children’s curiosity has no
limits, we’ve built in barriers and locks to make it virtually impossible to
start and get into the machine. The barriers can be easily activated or
deactivated by an adult.
L
LCD Control
Liquid Crystal Display on the control panel.
M
Memory Function
All you need to do is press start. The memory function always keeps
track of which program and options you used last.
Mix wash
The program is adapted for lightly soiled/delicate items in the upper
rack (with low spray pressure) and heavily soiled/robust items in the
lower rack (with normal spray pressure). First a main wash including a
pre-soak at the basic temperature of 30ºF/ 55ºC. This is followed by a
spray, two rinses and drying.
N
Normal wash
Probably the program you will use the most if you do not have Auto
Wash. Suitable for all kinds of standard-soiled loads. First a pre-wash,
followed by the main wash at a basic temperature of 130º/F 55ºC, then
a spray, two rinses and drying.
P
PowerZone™ cutlery
Separate spraying of the cutlery basket. Cutlery can get really dirty and
be hard to clean. A separate spray nozzle therefore concentrates on
making everything you put in the cutlery basket very clean. The results
are dazzling. A separate top nozzle sprays the knife basket with the same
great result.
PowerZone™ pots & pans
Unique pan spraying. At some time or another we all leave saucepans on
the stove. The rice or the sauce gets stuck on the bottom, and there are
better ways of spending your time than washing these pots and pans by
hand. ASKO’s patented spray nozzle shoots water right into the saucepan
and does the dirty work for you. The result is unbeatable - even better
than washing by hand.
PowerZone™ plates
No more pre-washing or rinsing plates because this spray nozzle
concentrates directly on them for clean, sparkling results everytime.
Q
Quick wash
A perfect program if you only want to wash lightly soiled cups, glasses
and china. Takes 60 minutes (or 20 minutes on low temperature.)

This auto wash sensor automatically adjusts the AutoWash™ program
to fit the current load, ensuring correct water levels and wash
temperatures for every load.
SensiDry™
ASKO’s patent-pending drying sensor measures the moisture both
inside and outside the machine. Meanwhile, it also senses the amount
and type of load in the machine and adjusts the drying time accordingly.
Consequently, your entire load is completely dry in the shortest possible
time, whatever kind of climate you live in. (D5893 only)
SuperCleaningSystem™
ASKO’s patented dishwashing system cleans the fine strainer 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 strainer and fresh, clean water. The advantage of this process is
that the dishes come out cleaner as they are washed without grease
and left-over food. But you also save water, electricity and effort as you
do not need to rinse the dishes by hand before loading the machine.
SuperRinse™
By choosing the SuperRinse™ option you get two extra rinses after
the main program.
10Spray™
ASKO’s spray system consists of 10 highly effective spray zones which
ensure that the whole load gets totally clean. Two PowerZones™ are
located below the lower rack making the cleaning performance
perfect even for the dirtiest pots and pans. The third PowerZone™
concentrates directly on your cutlery.
T
Tab option
Allows you to bypass the dosage of dishwasher rinsing agent.
Time program
You decide the program time and the machine will apply the best
possible program for the time set. Select program time and
temperature depending on how dirty the dishes are.
Time saver
An option that shortens the heavy and normal wash. It saves you a lot
of time, gives you the same performance and consumes only slightly
more energy and water.
Turbo Fan® Drying
ASKO’s fan-dry system gets the load completely dry. After the final rinse,
the moist air in the dishwasher is mixed with dry air from outside, and
the machine dries completely. ASKO’s fully integrated machines also have
