Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified 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.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

B) Grounding instructions for a permanently
connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.

Your new energy-efficient ASKO dryer is designed to
give you maximum drying performance using less
energy. To make the most of the dryer’s functions and
features, we recommend that you read this manual
carefully before using your machine for the first time.
For operating instructions, refer to the section in this
guide for your specific model.

Below is an illustration of the parts and features of your
ASKO dryer.

ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection
switch that will automatically turn the machine off if the
temperature gets too high. The machine will not start
until it has cooled down sufficiently.

If the unit shuts down because of overheating, check
that the lint filter exhaust hose, vent duct, and the
condenser unit are free of lint. These components need
to be cleaned on a regular basis. Additionally, the lint
filter may need to be cleaned with warm, soapy water
and a soft brush a few times a year to ensure the filter
screen is not blocked. Using dryer sheets (not
recommended) can also cause this problem.

Should the machine turn itself off because of
overheating, it will not be possible to restart the unit
until it has cooled down sufficiently. This could possibly
take up to thirty minutes.

To restart the unit once it has cooled down, press the
“Start” button.

NOTE: If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be

vented properly or the room in which it is located
may not have sufficient air circulation. Contact
your installer to have these issues checked out.

You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged metal
exhaust duct.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Maximum duct length of 22 feet is allowed.

Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90° elbow.

If more than 20 feet of duct is needed, the diameter
must be increased to 6” or 8” (152 mm or 203 mm).

NOTE: When installing in warm climates (77° F and

above) with high humidity levels, do not
route the air exhaust duct upwards.

Installation Examples

Subtract 4 feet (122
cm) for every 90°
elbow.

To connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation outlet, follow
the steps below:

1. Connect the exhaust duct to a ventilation exhaust
fitting 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.

WARNING!

This appliance should not be exhausted into a chimney, a
wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building. Only a
metal ventilation grill should be used.

If the duct is taken to a wall outlet, a ventilation grill
should be fitted to prevent reverse flow of cold air. Fit
the ventilation grill to the outside or inside of the wall.

Ventilation grill

Make sure nothing is blocking the
ventilation grill.

ASKO dryers can be installed beneath a cabinet or
worktop with a minimum height of 34” (864 mm). There
must be a gap of about 1/2” (12 mm) all around the
machine, including between the rear edge of the machine
top panel and the back wall. The opening width must be
at least 24-1/2” (622 mm).

Space must also be available for the exhaust hose on
the left, right or rear of the machine. See the diagram
for hole sizes and positions. Note that the hole
measurements are to the center of the hole.

CONDENSING DRYERS (T721/T781)

The condensing models work best when they have good
air circulation. Therefore, we don’t recommend they be
installed beneath a cabinet. If it is necessary, however,
be sure to leave a gap of at least 1/2” (12 mm) on all
sides.

Install the dryer so the condensed water will
continuously flow into a drain or sink, you will need a
drain outlet behind the unit. The maximum drain height

♦ Permanent press items should be dried together. For

the most wrinkle-free results when drying permanent
press items, you should fill the machine only half
full. These items also should be removed promptly
from the dryer and hung up or folded right away.

♦ Dry heavy fabrics together and lightweight fabrics

together.

♦ Dry fabrics that shed lint (chenille, terry cloth, etc.)

separately from fabrics that collect lint (synthetics,
velveteen, corduroy, etc.).

♦ Separate non-colorfast fabrics from light-colored

items.

♦ If the care label says "Wash Separately," the fabric

is likely to lose color (excess dye) for the first few
washings. To minimize the possibility of the dye
transferring to white or lighter colored items, dry new
colored garments with items of similar color or alone.
Bright reds and oranges on cottons are the dyes most
likely to transfer colors.

NOTE: Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” on page

2 for a list of specific materials that should never
be put in a tumble dryer.

Drying times will vary due to the amount of laundry in
the machine, moisture content, type of fabric, air
temperature and humidity. The length of the vent hose
can also affect drying times. (See “Connecting to a
Ventilation Duct” on page 5 for the recommended
installation.)

Read all recommended care labels carefully. If the
care label says “Drip dry,” “Line dry” or Dry flat,” do
not dry that item in the dryer. Certain fabrics will
melt or become dangerously flammable if heated,
while others may lose their shape.

♦ Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
♦ Close zippers and hooks to prevent snagging.
♦ Tie sashes and strings to prevent tangling.
♦ Mend any small rips to prevent them from enlarging.
♦ Turn colored cotton garments, velvet and finer

knitwear inside out before washing.

♦ Turn delicate items, sweaters and T-shirts inside out

to prevent pilling and to protect the prints.

♦ Prewash severely soiled items.
♦ Wash and dry colored fabrics separately the first

Your ASKO dryer has our state-of-the-art Sensidry
system. This means it has a humidity sensor that
ensures different fabrics always dry thoroughly. This
sensor turns off the heat when the laundry has reached
the appropriate dryness.

The Heavy, Normal, Delicate and Iron Dry programs
are automatic (Sensidry) programs designed for certain
types of loads, as defined in the table below. The sensor
detects different levels of humidity with each program.
It is important, therefore, to select the appropiate
program for the type of load you are drying.

If you prefer, you can select Timed Dry, which does not

activate the humidity sensor. You should be careful
when using this option not to overdry the fabrics. This
program automatically uses the Low temperature
setting, but you can change it to Normal by depressing
the Temperature button.

When using Timed Dry, it’s best to use a shorter time;
then if the load isn’t dry, you can set the timer for a few
more minutes.

NOTE: Always follow the care label instruction.

Program Definition

Heavy (P1) For items that are extremely difficult to dry, such as jeans and thick towels.

Normal (P2) Cotton w/out elastic and/or decorative trim.

Delicate (P3) Cotton with elastic and/or decorative trim, linen (white and colorfast).

Iron dry (P4) Synthetics, polyester, cotton/polyester blends.

Timed Dry Any fabric that can be machine dried. (See note below.)

Air Fluff This setting does not heat. It simply circulates the air as the clothes tumble to shake out

the dust and refresh the clothes. (See note below.)

NOTE: When using Timed Dry and Air Fluff, you must set the number of minutes for the program to run. (See “Time”

in the “Option Buttons” section below for details.)

To set a delayed start time, press the button until the
number of hours you wish to delay starting the machine

If you pass the time you wanted to select, continue to
press the button until the correct time displays. If you
decide not to delay starting the unit, continue to press
the button until “0” displays.

Press Start and the unit will start after the number of
hours you selected has passed.

To cancel Delay Start after you have pressed the Start
button, press and hold the Stop button until the LED
displays the program number or, if the program knob is
set on 5 or 6, the number of minutes. You can then
press Start and the unit will start right then.

NOTE: “0” on the LED indicates the option is not active.

When you set a time, the drum will continue to rotate
after the program is complete for three seconds every
minute until the door is opened or the selected time (1–
3 hours) has passed. If the buzzer is on, it will sound
each time the anti-crease program activates.

TEMPERATURE

You have two temperature options: Normal and Low.
The Normal setting should be used for heavier fabrics,
such as denim, cotton, linen, etc. The Low setting should
be used for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as

ASKO dryers are delivered with the four most commonly used programs. The table below lists the preset programs
and the settings for each. To select a program, simply press one of the program buttons and press Start. For
additional programming options, refer to “Customizing the Preset Program Buttons” below.

With ASKO’s Sensidry™ system, you need never worry about over-drying your laundry. Just select the proper program
for the type of fabric you’re drying and Sensidry does the rest. Once you select a program, Sensidry monitors the
temperature and measures the humidity level. When it detects the appropriate measurements, it automatically shuts
off the machine.

The wear on 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
worn. The lint filter must be cleaned after each load. If
this is not done, drying performance will suffer, as
insufficient air will pass through the drum. The machine
may also overheat after a while, which will cause it to
stop automatically.

To clean the lint filter, follow the steps below:

1. Grasp the handle
and pull it toward
you.

2. Remove the filter
from the holder.

3. Open the filter and
gently brush away
any lint.

4. Fold the filter
together and return
it to the holder on
the door.

5. Push the holder in
until it snaps into
place.

About once a year you should remove the exhaust hose

To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp
(not wet) cloth. To prevent penetration of water into the
door lock and electrical components, never spray water
or cleaning solvent of any kind on the control panel.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on
the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish
and possibly remove the writing on the control panels.
Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.

If you experience a problem with your dryer, you should
review the following list of frequently encountered
situations or go to our website at www.askousa.com. It
could save you the cost and inconvenience of a service
call.

Even though the product is under warranty, if the problem
is not caused by defective product workmanship or
materials, you will be charged for a service call. Refer
to page 25 to determine what is and is not covered under
your warranty. If you’re still not sure, contact the AM
Advisory Center before you call a serviceman.

The machine won’t start.

♦ Make sure the door is closed securely.
♦ Models T721/T781: Make sure the condensation tank

is empty. (See page 22).

♦ Make sure the Power is turned on.
♦ Check that you set the program or time correctly.
♦ Check that the electric plug is securely in the socket.
♦ Check the house breaker/fuses and the fuses on the

back of the dryer.

♦ If all of the above options are eliminated, the overheat

protection has probably been activated. See
“Overheat Protection” on page 3 for possible causes
and instructions on how to restart the unit.

The machine starts but it stops when I
release the power button.

♦ The overheating protection has probably activated.

See “Overheat Protection” on page 3 for possible

The machine takes too long to dry my
laundry.

♦ Check that the lint filter is clean.
♦ If you use dryer sheets (not recommended), you may

need to wash the lint filter with warm water and a
soft brush to clean any blocked holes.

♦ Be careful not to overload the dryer because the

warm air needs sufficient room to circulate properly
and the clothes need room to tumble freely.

♦ The laundry should only be damp when it comes

out of the ASKO washer. If it seems too wet, try
using a faster or longer spin cycle.

♦ Make sure the outside vent exhaust is not blocked.

My clothes are coming out wrinkled.

♦ You should remove the clothes as soon as the dryer

signals the end of the cycle. If you can’t remove the
clothes right away, use the Anti-crease option.

♦ Dry heavy fabrics together and light fabrics together.
♦ Dry only permanent press items together.
♦ Dry in smaller loads.
♦ Use slower spin speeds.
♦ Use fabric softener in the rinse program.
♦ You may be using the wrong wash temperature. Try

using a lower wash temperature, especially for
permanent press and delicate items.

The motor is running but the drum isn’t
turning.

♦ This usually means a belt is broken. Call a servicer.

The machine makes a funny noise.

♦ A slight rumbling may be heard when you first turn

on the dryer. This is normal and it should only last a
few seconds.
