ASKASKO DRO DRYER FEAYER FEATURESTURES

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 specific to your model, refer to the Quick Start Guide enclosed with this manual.

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

Power Button

Condensed Water Container

(Models T720 & T780)

Lint Filter

Front

Lint Filter Cover

ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems:

Panel

Cleanable Fan (behind panel)

Control Panel

Condenser Unit (behind panel)

Sensidry™

Models T760 and T780 have our state-of-the-art Sensidry system. These machines are equipped with a humidity sensor that ensures different fabrics always dry thoroughly. This sensor turns off the heat when the laundry has reached the appropriate dryness.

Thermostat-Control

Model T700 has a thermostat that controls the temperature by turning the heating element on and off to maintain the selected drying temperature (Normal or Low) within +/- 5° F.

Timer-Control

Model T720 offers only timed drying. You can set the dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes.

Model T700 has timer-controlled drying in addition to the two automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs.

When using a timed drying program, be careful not to leave the clothes in too long. 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.

CARE LABEL INSTRCARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONSUCTIONS

Read all permanent care labels carefully. If the 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.

NOTE: Refer to “Important Safety Instructions” on the previous page for a list of specific materials that should never be put in a tumble dryer.

SORSORTING TING THE LATHE LAUNDRUNDRYY

For best drying results, clothes should be sorted properly. Below are some suggestions on how to sort your laundry for drying.

♦ 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.

FFABRIC SOFTENER SHEETSABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS

We recommend that you do not use fabric softener sheets in the dryer. Over time, the chemicals on these sheets can build up inside the lint filter and clog the holes that circulate the air.

DRDRYING PRYING PROGRAMSOGRAMS

Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your dryer for specific instructions and programs available with the model you purchased.

Models T760 and T780: Refer to the “Customizing

the Preset Programs” on page 7 of this guide for instructions on how to change the preset programs.

DRDRYING YING TIMESTIMES

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 (T700/T760)” on page 11 for the recommended installation.)

* Always refer to the care label on the garment to determine if it can be

tumble dried. Some wool and silk and hand-washable items should not be tumble dried. These items should be removed from the washer then pressed out in a terry towel to remove excess water before being hung up or laid flat to dry.

CARE CARE AND MAINTENAND MAINTENANCE INSTRANCE INSTRUCTIONSUCTIONS

CLEANING THE LINT FILTERCLEANING THE LINT FILTER

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.

CLEANING CLEANING THE CONTRTHE CONTROL POL PANELANEL

To clean the control panel, use only a soft, warm, damp (not wet) rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. 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.

Page 4

CLEANING THE EXHAUST HOSECLEANING THE EXHAUST HOSE

About once a year you should remove the exhaust hose and clean it. At this time, you should also clean the exhaust outlet on the machine and the ventilation duct.

Periodically, you should check the dryer exhaust outside to be sure the air flow is strong and nothing is blocking the vent.

T720 AND T780 – EMPTYINGT720 AND T780 – EMPTYING THE THE WWAATER CONTTER CONTAINERAINER

If the dryer is not installed to pump out the condensed water into a drain or sink, the condensation water collects in the water container to the left of the control panel. You should empty the container every three to five dryer loads, depending on the spin speed you use when you wash the clothes. For example, clothes spun at 800 rpm will have more moisture when you take them out of the washer than clothes spun at 1400 rpm. Therefore, the dryer will have to remove more water.

NOTE:

1. Pull out the container.

2. Pour out the water.

3. Replace the container.

NOTE:

If the container becomes too full, the machine will shut down. To restart the program, empty the container and press Start. It may be a few minutes before the machine starts because it drains the excess water from the sump before it restarts.

Do not remove the water container while the machine is running.

You should hear it snap into place.

The condensed water is soft and safe to use for watering plants.

Page 5

CLEANING CLEANING THE FTHE FANAN

The fan should be cleaned at least once a year. If you have pets, you should clean it more often. To clean the fan, follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the main power to the machine.

T720 AND T780 - CLEANINGT720 AND T780 - CLEANING THE CONDENSERTHE CONDENSER

The condenser should be cleaned on a regular basis, preferably monthly. If you have pets, you should probably clean it more often. To clean the condenser, follow the steps below:

2. Remove the two 20 torx screws on the bottom of the front panel then grasp the bottom of the panel and pull it forward and down.

3. Unscrew the 10 torx safety screw on the bottom of the fan cover and fold out the four tabs.

4. Remove the fan cover.

5. Hold the fan in place while you unscrew the nut.

6. Pull out the fan and clean it with a brush and water.

7. Replace the fan and screw the nut securely.

1. Turn off the main power to the machine.

2. Remove the two 20 torx screws on the bottom of the front panel then grasp the bottom of the panel and pull it forward and down.

3. Turn the levers on the condenser cover counterclockwise to release it then pull it down.

4. Pull out the condenser.

5. Spray the fins with warm water until all of the lint is removed.

WARNING!

Do not put the condenser into a dishwasher. Do not use any sharp metal objects or a wire brush to clean the condenser. Also, do not poke anything between the fins.

If you experience a problem with your dryer, you should review the following list of frequently encountered situations. It could save you the cost and inconvenience of a service call.

Even though the product is under warranty, if the problem

The machine won’t start.

♦ Make sure the door is closed securely. ♦ 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 below.)

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

♦ The overheating protection has probably activated.

Clean the lint filter and let the machine cool down before trying again. (See below.)

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

and the clothes need room to tumble freely.

♦ The laundry should only be damp when it comes

out of the 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.

OOVERHEAVERHEAT PRT PROOTECTIONTECTION

ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection switch that automatically turns off the machine if the temperature is too high. This could happen if the lint filter or exhaust hose becomes clogged with dust.

Should the machine turn itself off because of overheating, make sure the lint filter and exhaust hose and vent duct are clean.

If the overheat protection switch is activated, you have to reset it before the machine will run. To do this, press the reset button (rubber disk) on the back of the machine, as illustrated to the right. You should hear a click when it engages. The machine will not start until it has cooled sufficiently.

ENERENERGY SAGY SAVING VING TIPSTIPS

♦ Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer. ♦ Do not overload the dryer. ♦ Use the highest spin speeds allowed for the

garments.

♦ Do not put extremely wet clothes into the dryer.

Press the reset button to start the machine.

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 an installer to have these issues checked out.

♦ Dry like fabrics together (i.e., heavy fabrics together,

light fabrics together).

♦ Clean the lint filter after each load. ♦ Do not overdry clothes when using the timed program. ♦ Spin the clothes at no less than 800 rpm.

CONNECTING CONNECTING TTO O A A VENTILAVENTILATION DUCT (T700/T760)TION DUCT (T700/T760)

1. Connect the exhaust hose to a ventilation exhaust fitting or to a discharge through the wall.

2. Secure the hose joint to the outlet stub on the machine.

3. Run the hose with as few bends as possible to the point of discharge. If necessary, it can be extended to a maximum of 22 feet (660 cm) of 4” (10 cm) diameter ridged pipe.

Make any bends as gentle as possible. A maximum of four 90° bends may be fitted in the hose. The more bends and the longer the hose, the less air will circulate through the machine, which will impede drying performance. Subtract 4 feet (120 cm) for every 90° elbow.

Installation Examples

Subtract 4 feet (120 cm) for every 90° elbow.

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

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

If more than 22 feet of hose is needed, the diameter must be increased to 6” or 8” (152 mm or 203 mm).

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 hose 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.

locknuts are tight to eliminate vibration. There should be at least 1/2” (12.5 mm) of space

between the washer and dryer.

BBUILUILTT-IN INST-IN INSTALLAALLATIONTION

MODELS T700/T760

These models can be installed beneath a cabinet or worktop with a minimum height of 34” (864 mm). There must be a gap of about 1/4” (.64 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” (600 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.

MODELS T720/T780

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

NOTE:

All hole measurements are to the center of the holes.

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”.
