SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
Please read the instruction manual and save it for future reference.
•Please do not use the tumble dryer if you have not read and understood these instructions or use first.
•Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate use of the tumble dryer may result in damage to the laundry or appliance, or injury to the user.
•Instructions for use are available on our website at www.asko.com.
•Your dryer is intended solely for household use.
•Before connecting the dryer to the power mains, please read carefully the instructions for use that describe the dryer and its correct and safe use. The instructions apply to several appliance types or models; thus, settings or equipment may be described herein which is not available in your dryer.
•Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the dryer to an expert. Unprofessional repair may result in an accident or major malfunction.
•After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
•At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
•The dryer may 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.
•
If the power cord is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service technician, or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any hazards.
•
The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and o by a utility.
•After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord from the power outlet.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost of any damage.
•Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust particles.
The air where the dryer is installed should be thoroughly ventilated to prevent reverse flow of gases released from the gas appliances with open fire (e.g. fireplaces).
•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 (only applies to the evacuation dryer).
3
•Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.
•Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives, stain removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be washed in a washing machine with hot water and detergent before it is dried in the dryer.
•Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and bathing caps, and laundry or covers with rubber foam may not be dried in the dryer.
•Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance with manufacturer's instructions.
•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.
•Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).
•Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
•The air in the room where the dryer is installed may not contain dust particles.
•Make sure the fibres do not accumulate around the dryer.
•

DRAINING THE CONDENSATE
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").
Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be avoided by running the condensate discharge hose found at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

(A). |
2 Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A).
Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use. The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin siphon (C) or directly into the floor drain (D).
Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a siphon, or a floor drain.
Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not under tension, clamped, or bent.
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage which could result in unexpected damage.
Always use hoses that are attached to the appliance.
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents such flow.
