IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

WARNING - To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock, or injury to persons when

using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. WARNING! - Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with

water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned with ﬂ ammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline, trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.

3. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, other ﬂ ammable or explosive substances as they give oﬀ vapors that could ignite or explode.

4. Instructions for use are available on our website at www.askousa.com.

5. Your dryer is intended solely for household use.

6. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Children should be closely supervised when near the appliance.

7. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

8. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

9. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

10. Do not tamper with controls.

11. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance or perform any servicing unless speciﬁ cally recommended in this guide.

12. Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets unless the manufacturer gives written assurance that the product will not damage a tumble dryer.

13. WARNING! - Do not heat dry items containing vinyl, plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials, ﬁ berglass, or wool unless the label speciﬁ es “washable”.

14. Clean the lint ﬁ lter before or after each load.

15. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

16. The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by an authorized ASKO service agent.

17. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch ﬁ re. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re due to

Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com

contaminated loads, the ﬁ nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

18. Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed installer.

19. Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂ exible plastic venting materials. If ﬂ exible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a speciﬁ c type identiﬁ ed by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂ ow and increase the risk of ﬁ re.

20. As this is an evacuation dryer, it does not have a condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative purpose and it ﬁ xed; it is not intended for opening. If excessive force is applied, the handle may break.

21. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance (Canadian market only) is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com

WARNING! - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualiﬁ ed electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance (Canadian market only). If it will not ﬁ t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁ ed electrician. Use copper conductors only, if the terminal is acceptable only for connection to copper. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any user maintenance other than cleaning the lint trap. Turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect this appliance from the power supply. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, this appliance must be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a building.

b) For a grounded, permanently connected appliance:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

DRYER PLACEMENT

The dryer can be either free standing or installed onto a washing machine. The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may be longer due to limited amount of available air.

Do not place the dryer in a room where temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine may not operate correctly at such low temperatures, or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the machine. Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C.

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened.

As this is an evacuation dryer, it does not have a condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative purpose and it ﬁ xed; it is not intended for opening. If excessive force is applied, the handle may break.

Free-standing appliance

The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine. If the friction between the dryer feet and the ﬂ oor is not suﬃ cient, the dryer may move during operation. To prevent the dryer from sliding around, use a non-slip support or pad.

Clearance between the dryer and the wall

Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).

At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long ﬁ bres as this may impede air circulation.

The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation, observe the clearance from the wall as shown in Fig.

Stacking on top of a washing machine

To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B), supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum. Tipping guard part B is designed to ﬁ t on ASKO washing machines and it may be hard or impossible to mount on appliances of other brands. If the washing machine and dryer are not of matching dimensions or if you have installed a hidden helper between the two appliances, then binding plates are available as optional accessories at the service unit (… available only for HH and TD75 stacked on top of WM80 or WM85; not intended for any other combinations).

All ASKO washing machines can bear the weight of the dryer.

Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight of the dryer (see washing machine’s rating plate or technical information).

Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com

How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO):

There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard.

The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A +

EVACUATION OF HUMID AIR

Use the supplied air exhaust hose to convey the humid air from the dryer is through an opening (ventilation system, window etc.).

Connecting the air exhaust hose to the dryer

The dryer allows three possibilities for air evacuation: on the rear, on the right, and on the left side. Upon delivery, the opening on the back is open and a connection ﬁ tting is installed on it (1).

Fitting the air exhaust hose to another opening

Instead of on the rear opening, the air exhaust hose can be ﬁ tted on one of the side openings.

• Move the connection ﬁ tting from the rear opening

(1) to the side opening. Then, connect the air exhaust hose and secure it with a clamp (2).

123

• Use a cap to close the opening on the back of the dryer.

Side openings are covered with two caps. The machine comes supplied with an air exhaust hose (3) and two clamps (2).

Installation

Slip the exhaust hose (3) over the connection ﬁ tting (1) and fasten it with a clamp (2).

Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.com

Connecting the air exhaust hose to a ventilation duct

The air exhaust hose should be routed in shortest and straightest possible way to the ventilation system opening (air evacuation duct). Use a clamp to attach the air exhaust hose to the ventilation opening. If the air exhaust hose is too long, cut it to length. The distance between the dryer and the air evacuation opening (ventilation opening, window) may not exceed 3 metres. Otherwise, moisture could accumulate in the air exhaust hose. All elbows should be at an angle that is equal to or smaller than 90°.

Extra equipment

If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening in the wall, inﬂ ux of cool air may be prevented by installing a ventilation grille.

If there is only one ventilation opening in the room, an air lock should be installed.

Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for appliances or devices that use natural gas or other fuels for their operation.

Selecting the room

Place the appliance in a thoroughly ventilated room with a window or ventilation fan. If possible, connect the air exhaust hose so that it has no inclination, upwards (A) or downwards (C), but rather straight (B).

Air lock

This extra equipment can be purchased from your seller.

Please avoid:

• excessively long ventilation systems,

• multiple elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose,

• sharp elbows or turns of the air exhaust hose, All three may reduce the ventilation system eﬃ ciency, extend the drying time, and increase power consumption.

Risk of Fire. A clothes dryer produces combustible lint. The dryer must be connected to an exhaust to the outdoors. Regularly inspect the outdoor exhaust opening and remove any accumulation of lint around the outdoor exhaust opening and in the surrounding area.
