Sorting fabrics
For the best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Separate the
lint shredders (chenille and terry cloth) from the lint collectors (synthetics,
flannel and fabrics with a nap, such as velveteen and corduroy). Separate
non-colorfast from light colored items, heavy fabrics from light weight
fabrics and permanent press from heavy, bulky items.
Do not tumble dry
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If a garment's care label
says "Drip Dry", "Line Dry" or "Dry Flat", do not dry in the dryer. Certain
materials will melt or become dangerously flammable if heated, while others
may lose their shape. Other items that should not be tumble dried are;
• Items that have been dry-cleaned at home
• Wool (unless the garment's manufacturer recommends it)
• Fiberglass
• Laminated or rubber coated items
• Vinyl and plastic
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of
children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

Which program should I use?
The program to use depends on what you want to do with the washing after tumble-drying. There are four automatic programs
- Extra Dry, Dry, Damp Dry and Iron Dry - and a timed program, allowing you to determine the drying time yourself.
The pushbutton controls
Extra dry: When you want extra dry fabrics: This automatic program is intended for use with washing that
is extremely difficult to dry, i.e. jeans with very thick seams. The heat is turned off when the washing is
completely dry, and is followed by a cooling period of about 15 minutes.
Dry: For "ready-to-wear" dryness: This program turns off the heat when the washing is dry but not absolutely
bone-dry. It is then cooled for about 15 minutes. This is the program to use when you want dry fabrics.
Damp Dry: This program is intended to leave a small amount of moisture in the clothes to allow small wrinkles
to fall out when hung-up.
Iron Dry: For fabrics to be ironed: This program turns off the heat when the washing is just damp enough
for ironing.
Program Start/Stop: You can stop any program at any point by pressing the Stop pushbutton for three seconds.
End of Cycle Signal: Press this button for a warning buzzer to sound when the program is finished. One hour
after the end of the program the buzzer will sound once a minute. At the same time the cylinder will rotate
to prevent wrinkling.
Anti-Crease: To help prevent wrinkles, this cycle enables the machine to tumble for three seconds every minute
for one hour, or will stop if the clothes are removed before the hour has ended.
Low Temp: Use this button if low temperature is required.
m
Setting the time for the timed program; Press the TIME pushbutton. The machine responds by displaying
5 minutes in the window. By pressing the time pushbutton, you can increase the time in 5-minute intervals
10-15-20. After 20 minutes, the time increase is by 10 minute-intervals 30-40-50-60-70-80-90. All timed
programs are followed by an automatic 15 minute cool down period.
The timed program is automatically set for low temperature. However, normal can be used by pushing the
low temperature button one time. The light in the button will go out signifying normal temperature.
To air fabrics; Use the unheated program, which you obtain by pressing the time pushbutton until C appears
in the display. This program can not be combined with any other program. Use this program to shake the dust
out of garments, or to fluff them up.
Time-delayed start: Press thel ^ Ipushbutton to set a starting time delay of 1-12 hours. Each time you press
the button, a further hour’s delay will be added and displayed.

’ Times and energy consumptions are as obtained by the methods specified by the Swedish National Board for Consumer
Policies, i.e. the washing has been spin-dried at 800 r/min and the tumble diyer is in a ventilated room at a temperature
of 20°C (68°F).
’* Refers to full and half loads from the Asko washer.
Drying time
Drying time depends on many factors, such as
the amount of washing, how damp it is, the type
of fabrics, rated power of the machine and the
temperature of the room. It also, of course,
depends on how dry you want the washing when
you take it out of the machine.
Shrinkage
Knitted fabrics in particular are liable to shrink.
Do not use Extra Dry program for these materials,
and always stretch them out directly after drying.
Dryer Added Fabric Softeners
Because some dryer added fabric softners may
cause damage to automatic dryers, use only ones
that the manufacturers give a written assurance
that their softener can safely be used in
your dryer.
Single items
Use the timed program when there is only one
item to be dried. This is because the automatic
program may turn off the heating too early, so
that the item is not properly dried.
If the washing is not dry after tumble-drying
When using the automatic programs, it can happen that not
all of the washing is properly dry. This may be due to such
reasons as very heavy fabrics or thick seams. To dry these
items, give a further 10 minutes or so in the timed program.
Also, do not overload the dryer. If a dryer is overloaded, its
efficiency is lessened and clothes may not dry evenly.
Do not over-dry
When using the timed program, it is possible to over-dry
fabrics, if too long a time has been set. This can cause the
fabrics to wrinkle, shrink or feel harsh. Synthetic materials
can also become charged with static electricity.
Permanent press hints
For the most wrinkle-free permanent press drying, only dry
one half load at a time to assure enough room for items to
tumble freely. Do not combine permanent press items with
other very heavy clothes in the dryer. Remove clothes
immediately after the dryer cycle is completed and either
hang them up or lay them flat.

more washing:
(If the door is open for
more than three minutes,
the machine will "forget"

STOP .
If you want to alter the program:
*Press START for three seconds.
This stops and cancels the program
that is running and you can then
set the new program that you want.
9 When the machine has
stopped:
• Remove the washing
• Clean the lint filter
• Turn off the main switch
Cleaning the lint filter
The lint filter must be cleaned
after each time the machine has
been used. If this is not dona
drying performance will suffer, as
insufficient air will pass through
the drum. The machine may also
overheat: this will cause it to stop
utomatically.
Clean the filter as follows;
1. Grasp the filter holder by the
two holes near the center and
pull it off the peg on which it is
supported in the front door.
2. Take the filter out of the holdei
and brush away the lint in it by
hand.
NOTE; Wear and tear of fabrics
in a tumble dryer is insignificant.
The lint caught in the lint filter is
dust and fiber residue that has
been formed when the garments
have been used.
3. Replace the filter in the holder
and refit the holder in position on
the peg in the door.
Note! Clean lint collecting near the tumble
dryer as it can be sucked into the
air intake.
NOTE:
When you start the dryer for the first
time, a slight rumbling may be heard
during a short warming-up period. When
the dryer is run-in, this sound will
disappear.
If the machine
does not work
The machine will not start
Check that:
* The front door is properly closed.
* The main On/Off pushbutton is pressed in.
* You have set the required program or the required time
correctly.
* The electric plug is firmly inserted in its socket.
* All fuses are intact.
H the machine still fails to start, it is probable that the
automatic safety cutout has operated, h disconnects the
power supply to the machine if the internal temperature
rises excessively, i.e. if the lint filter is blocked by dust.
Start by cleaning the filter, emptying the water container
and cleaning the condenser. Reset the cutout by pressing
the button on the back of the machine.
Excessive drying time
Check that the lint filter is not blocked. Excessive drying
times can also be caused by the machine being installed in
a very small space and by the air in the room (which cools
the machine) becoming too warm. Make sure that the
machine has a plentiful supply of cool air. Do not overload
the dryer. Hems to be tumble-dried must first have been
spin-dried, preferably at 800 r/min or more.
Fauit indication
The display window that shows the number of hours of
delayed start can also display fault message:
F2 - When the machine has run lor a maximum time of 3
hours, it will stop automatically. Check that the fuse
is intact. This fault indication can be indicating when
running a small terry load. Always use Timed
Program or Automatic Program Damp Dry by this
type of load.
F3 - This indicates an electric fauH. Phone for service.
F4 - Indicates a clogged fluff fiHer. This code will appear
after the program has finished. Be sure to remove
fluff fiHer and clean before running the next load of
clothes.
F5 - Indicates a fauH whh the moisture sensor. Call for an
Authorized Asko Service Agent.

Drying times and energy consumption
Drying times and
energy consumption
The table on the right shows drying
times and energy consumption in
accordance with the following
conditions:
• Program 2 has been used
(the normal, 'Dry' automatic
program).
• Drying temperature: Normal.
• Fabrics dried are of cotton,
previously spun at 800 r/min.
• The dryer is in a room with a
temperature of 20°C (68°F), and
the exhaust hose supplied with
the machine is in use.
Drying times
Drying time depends on many factors,
such as the amount of washing,
moisture content, type of fabric,
incoming air temperature and
humidity. Performance can also be
affected by how the machine has
been installed. Drying time is also
naturally affected by how dry the
washing is to be when removed from
the machine.
Connection to a ventilation duct
Connect the exhaust hose from
the tumble dryer to a ventilation
exhaust fitting or to a discharge
through the wall.
Secure the hose joint to the Outlet
stub on the machina
Run the hose with as few bends as
possible to the point of discharge. If
necessary, it can be extended to a
maximum of 8.75 yards of 4"
diameter hose.
Make any bends as gentle as possi
ble. A maximum of four 90° bends
may be fitted in the hose. The more
bends and the longer the hose, the
less will be the amount of air pass
ing through the machina
If more than 8.75 yards of hose is
needed, diameter must be increased.
If the hose is taken to a wall outlet,
a ventilation grille should be fitted to
prevent reverse flow of cold air.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance should
not be exhausted into
a chimney, a wall, a
ceiling, or a concealed
space of a building.
The only rigid of flexible metal duct should be
used for exhausting, unless the appliance has
been investigated for use with nonmetallic duct.

Installation
Positioning the tumble dryer
B Built in
The dryer can be built in beneath a
countertop with a height of 33 1/2
- 35 1/2”. At least 23 5/8" width
is needed. Space must also be
available for the exhaust hose on
the left, right or rear of the
machine. See tlte diagram for
hole sizes and positions.
NOTE:
Height Adjustment:
32 1/4" - 33 1/2”
Do not Raise Higher
than 33 1/2”
How much air does
the dryer need?
The dryer needs about 65 cubic yds.
of fresh air per hour. The room in
which it is installed must therefore
have a sufficient air change rate to
ensure that the machine receives
enough fresh air.
