Cooktops
that make
cooking and
cleaning
easier
An ASKO cooktop is designed
to suit both you and your kit-
chen. The aim for simplicity has
resulted in a stylish design and
remarkable functionality. Our new cooktops will immediately produce an
even heat and are even quicker to clean. The induction cooktops will only
heat the desired zone/-s which prevents food spillage to be simply wiped
away. The removable burners and trivets on our gas cooktops can easily
be washed in the dishwasher. Cleaning has never been easier.
Gas cooktops should not only be easy to use but also enhance our
lifestyles.With this hectic lifestyle we lead who wants to be cleaning their
cooktop? At ASKO we design and build our cooktops to be as seamless
as possible. Stainless Steel with a one piece body incorporating spillage
zones,knobs that can be removed and placed in the dishwasher,smooth
cast iron trivets that don’t house food particles. All these features add up
to a product that will make your life easier.
NB: Not all features available on all models.
Hobs feature glossary
Induction/Ceramic:
Due to induction only heating
up the zone underneath the
pot, if any spillage occurs the
surrounding glass will be cold.
So simply wipe away any spills
from the flat glass surface.
Electronic 9 step heat touch
controls make sure that your
cooktop can cater for all types
of cooking. Accurate low
temperature simmer for slow
cooking of a casserole to high
temperature cooking for a stir-fry in a wok.
Add to this total control the benefit of rear
timers which can be programmed to auto-
matically turn off.
The induction cooktop will not
heat up until a pot or pan is
placed on the cooking surface.
Heat is generated between the
cooking vessel and the cooktop
and will heat your food to the
chosen temperature level. As soon as the
vessel is removed from the heating zone, the
heat will immediately cease.
When you switch off the
selected zone you have cooked
from, an indicator will remain
on to show you the zone is still
hot. This feature is on all cera-
mic and induction cooktops.
ASKO induction cooking is a
precise heating zone concept.
Only the zone sensed will heat
up, saving on precious energy
reserves and totally eliminating
the energy wastage associated
with other forms of cooktops. ASKO induc-
tion has one of the fastest heat up and cool
down zones on the market, making it vir tu-
ally cool to touch once the pot or pan has
been removed.
Some dishes and cooking met-
hods call for fast heating in a
short time, obviously without
boiling over. The Booster func-
tion enables you to increase the
output of a heating zone for a
limited period (T160i).
A heating zone that can be
adapted to the size of the pan,
from small to large diameters.
Feel like relaxing while dinner is
in the making? Just set the timer
before you put your feet up,
and you’ll be met with a lovely
aroma when the buzzer wakes
you up.
Gas:
For the rapid heating and the
higher temperatures needed
for wok cooking, ASKO has
incorporated a dual zone wok.
With extra high gas output to
give you complete cooking control, as well
as plenty of space and support for you to
operate with the largest, widest and heaviest
of woks.
ASKO’s gas cook tops feature
the ability to be stripped down
for easy cleaning, and all remo-
vable objects can be washed in
an ASKO dishwasher. Our gas
cook tops feature one piece
burner technology, which means no more
fiddling trying to get burners back on. Just as
our induction cook tops, the one piece bur-
ners have the special EasyClean™ enamel.
For a long and durable lifespan,
check out the ASKO cast iron
trivets. Not only are they func-
tional and have a smooth finish,
they can also be cleaned in an
Asko dishwasher.
The controls must be held
down for 2 seconds to ignite
the burners.
A good cook top is only as
good as its simmer, at ASKO
we believe precise control
from the very least amount of
flame to the largest amount
of flame is paramount to a
flexible cooktop.
Burners are not only about
how much heat output they
can deliver, but also about how
well they can control the heat.
With ASKO gas cook tops we
use burners which can direct
the blue tip of the flame (the hot part) so
that it is in constant contact with the under
surface of your cooking vessel. This ensures
faster cooking, increased control and less
wastage of gas.
