♦ Electrical installation, if required, must be done by

a licensed electrician.

♦ Read all instructions before using the appliance. ♦ Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

♦ Before the appliance is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

♦ Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. ♦ Do not install or store this appliance where it will be

exposed to the weather.

♦ Do not tamper with controls. ♦ Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless the manufacturer gives written assurance that the product will not damage a tumble dryer.

♦ Do not heat dry items containing:

• vinyl, plastic, foam rubber or similarly textured

rubberlike materials

♦ Do not heat dry items that have been dry-cleaned at

home.

♦ The dryer is made and marked to facilitate recycling.

When it is no longer useful, contact your local refuse collection service for advice on how to properly dispose of the dryer for purposes of recycling.

WARNING!

This appliance must be properly grounded. Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

The plug must be plugged into an appliance outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed space in a building.

WARNING!

Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, cooking oils, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

♦ Clean the lint filter before or after each load. ♦ Keep the area around the exhaust opening and

adjacent areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

♦ The interior of the machine and exhaust duct should

be cleaned periodically by an authorized ASKO service agent.

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.

Model T721 offers only timed drying. You can set the dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes.

Model T701 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.

VERHEAVERHEA

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

The dryer could overheat if the lint filter or exhaust hose becomes clogged with dust. It’s a good idea to make sure the lint filter and exhaust hose and vent duct are clean before you call for service.

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.

Every program on an ASKO dryer ends with a cool-down cycle to reduce wrinkling. Unlike with other dryers, the laundry will feel cool when you remove them from an ASKO dryer. No more scorched fingertips.

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 20 feet (610 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 (122 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.

Installation Examples

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

If more than 20 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.

Ventilation grill

Make sure nothing is blocking the ventilation grill.

If there is only one vent duct from the room, a vent spacer must be fitted.

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.

MODELS T721 AND 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.

If you 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 is 40” (1016 mm). (See page 4.)
