INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either freestanding or installed on
top of 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 ambient 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 may freeze, which can result in damage to the
machine.
For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with
adequate ventilation and a temperature between
10 °C and 25 °C.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding
doors, or doors 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 vented dryer, it does not have a
condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative
purpose and is fi xed; it is not intended for opening. If
excessive force is applied, the handle may break.
Freestanding 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 sliding, use a non-slide mat or install the
supplied vacuum feet onto both front feet.
Never block the air vents.
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.
Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit
level to level the dryer horizontally and vertically
by rotating the adjustable feet using a No. 22
spanner (max. 15 mm). Then, fi rmly tighten the jam
nuts (counter nuts) by rotating them towards the
appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner
.

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 (accessory Hidden Helpers)
and TD75 stacked on top of WM80 or WM85; not
intended for any other combinations).
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 the
fi gure.

AIR EXHAUST
The tumble dryer must only be operated when it
is correctly fi tted with exhaust duct.
Connecting the exhaust duct to the dryer
You will need to purchase a UL-CSA-approved
4" ridged metal exhaust duct. The dryer is delivered
with the stub pipe attached to the rear exhaust
outlet, though the exhaust duct can be attached to
either the left or the right exhaust outlet.
To connect the exhaust duct to the left or right side
outlet, follow the steps below:
1. Using a fl at-head screwdriver, turn the exhaust
outlet cover you plan to use to the right or left to
align the tabs holding the cover in place.
2. Remove the exhaust outlet cover.
3. Remove the stub pipe from the rear exhaust outlet
and place it in the outlet you plan to use.
4. Use the exhaust outlet cover you removed from
the to cover the rear exhaust outlet.
other fasteners that extend into the duct and catch
lint.
To connect the exhaust duct to the outlet, follow the
steps below:
• Push the duct onto the stub pipe and secure it
with a clamp.
• After you push the dryer into place, check for
kinks in the duct.
Excessive duct length and too many bends can
impede drying performance. We recommend that
you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the duct
with as few bends as possible. Make any necessary
bends as gentle as possible.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet. A maximum
of 4 elbows may be used, but 4 feet of duct must
subtracted from the total vent length for every 90°
elbow used.
To reduce the risk of fi re, this appliance must
be exhausted OUTDOORS or the equivalent. Never
cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust duct with
anything to catch lint, except for UL approved vent
basket.
Asko dryers have a "T-style" exhaust
vent that allows you to connect the duct
on the rear, on the left, or on the right
side

Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged
metal exhaust duct. If a fl exible duct is used, it must
comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition
Duct. Subject 2158A and maximum length of 2.4 m
(8 feet).
The more bends and the longer the duct, the
less air will circulate through the machine, which
will impede drying performance. We recommend
that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the
duct with as few bends as possible. And make any
necessary bends as gentle as possible.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet. A maximum
of 4 elbows may be used, but 4 feet of duct must
subtracted from the total vent length for every 90°
elbow used.
To connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation
outlet, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation exhaust
fi tting or to a discharge through the wall.
2. Secure the duct joint to the outlet stub on the
machine.
3. Run the duct with as few bends as possible to the
point of discharge.
Ventilation grill (not
supplied with machine)
This appliance shall not be exhausted into a
chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space
or a concealed space of a building. Only a rigid or
fl exible metal duct shall be used for exhausting. Only
a metal ventilation grill shall be used. If the duct is
taken to a wall outlet, a ventilation grill shall be fi tted
to prevent reverse fl ow of cold air. Fit the ventilation
grill to the outside of the wall.
When installing in warm climates (77° F and
above) with high humidity levels, do not route the air
exhaust duct upwards.
Examples of installations
subtract 4 feet for
every 90° elbow
Avoid:
• very long exhausting systems
• too many corners
• tight corners
These reduce effi ciency and increase time and
energy 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.

Connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet.
After installation, the wall outlet should be freely
accessible. The outlet should be fi tted with a ground
contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).
The receptacle on the rear of the machine is
designed to accommodate ASKO washers ONLY
(rated 208–240 V.) To use this receptacle, you must
use the ready-fi tted plug supplied with the washing
machine or an equivalent. ASKO washers rated
208–240 V have two internal fuses of 15 A each. The
machine should only be connected to a grounded
wall socket.
This appliance must be properly grounded.
Refer to the “Important Safety Instructions” for
grounding instructions. The power supply cord must
be grounded. If the machine is to be used in a wet
area, the supply must be protected by a residual
current device. Connection to a permanently wired
supply point must be made only by a qualifi ed
electrician.
Information about your dryer is indicated on the
rating (type) plate.
Use the type A diff erential current protection switch.
The dryer shall not be connected to the power
mains using an extension cord.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical
outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety
or performance should be done by trained experts.
