Installation instructions
WARNING!
WARNING - Risk of fi re.
Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death,
follow all installation instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine.
Stacking
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of an
ASKO washing machine. Use the two foot cups
found in the document bag included with the
machine and the two tip guards attached to the
bottom of the back of the machine.
Positioning the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer can be freestanding or
stacked. Remember that the tumble dryer
produces heat and should therefore not be
located in a room that is too small. If the room
is very small, drying will take longer due to the
limited quantity of air.
NOTE!
Do not install the machine in a room where
there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures
around freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
The room in which the appliance is installed
should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
WARNING!
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed
by a qualifi ed installer.
• For proper ventilation, the machine should
not be installed behind a door.
• The tumble dryer's toe kick ventilation must
not be blocked by a rug or the like.
How to assemble the stacking kit:
1. Remove the two tip guards from the back of
the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that
held the tip guards in place.
2. Remove the two screws indicated on the
back of the washing machine.
NOTE!
If the unit must be installed behind a door, the
door should be louvered. (please see door
ventilation requirements in the Built-in chapter).
To improve ventilation, the door where the
tumble dryer is located should be left open
when the dryer is in use.

3. Secure the anti-tip device using the screws
as shown in the picture.
4. Attach the plastic cups for mounting the
tumble dryer’s front feet to the washing
machine’s top cover. This is essential, as
only when the tumble dryer’s feet are resting
in the plastic cups can you be sure that the
tumble dryer is correctly positioned on the
washing machine. Break off tab A on the cup
fi tted on the right side and tab B on the cup
fi tted on the left side. Then remove the paper
from the self-adhesive surface under the
plastic cups.
6. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal
brackets. At the same time keep the front
edge raised by 7/16" (10mm) to 7/8" (20mm) .
7. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the
plastic cups and adjust the tumble dryer to
ensure it is level.
Adjusting the feet
Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer
is both stable and level.

Installation instructions
Built-in
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 and a minimum gap of 1"
(25 mm) 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). The
condensing models work best when they have
good air circulation.
Install the dryer so the condensed water will
continuously fl ow into a drain or sink, you
will need a drain outlet behind the unit. The
maximum drain height is 40” (1016 mm).
A buildup of heat could be avoided by:
• Creating a gap for the dryer in the kitchen
furniture plinth facing.
• Creating ventilation gaps in the kitchen unit.
When build under, drying times may be longer.
NOTE!
The dryer should not be installed next to a
refrigeration appliance. The warm air expelled
from the rear of the dryer would increase the
temperature around the refrigeration appliance
heat exchanger causing the compressor to
run continuously. If it is not possible to install
the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigeration
appliance must be sealed off from the dryer.
NOTE!
The height adjustment for the dryer is 33- 1/2”
to 34-1/2” (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise it
higher than 34-1/2” (876 mm).
NOTE!
It is very important to avoid a buildup of heat.
The warm air which is expelled from the rear of
the dryer must be able to dissipate.
Warm air which cannot dissipate could cause a
fault.
