damage is something nobody
wants.
To assure you that the machi-
ne will not leak, we've developed
the AquaBlockSystem™, an
advanced water safety system that detects if
the water level in the machine rises above a
normal level.
The system comprises up to 7 different
points, all of which help ensure a leak-safe
washing machine for many years of problem-
free operation.

Environmental certification.
ASKO has environmental cer-
tification in accordance with
ISO 14001. This is an environ-
mental accreditation, which
ASKO adheres to during the
manufacturing process.
Optimal mechanical action.
The efficiency of the mecha-
nical process depends on the
drum size in order to produce
a good wash result. ASKO
washing machines achieve this
thanks to their large drum, unique high-
lift ribs with shower feature, and perfect
speed control.
