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.

Never cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust
duct with anything to catch lint, except for UL
approved vent basket.
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
