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.

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.

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.

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.)

♦ 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.

reduce wrinkling. The Normal option tumbles for 15 minutes; the Quick for 5 minutes.

Buzzer If this option is on, a buzzer sounds for 3 seconds at the end of the program. Anti-crease This option is designed to prevent wrinkling if you’re unable to remove them from the dryer

right away. After the program ends, the drum will continue to rotate for three seconds every minute until the door is opened or one hour has passed. You can turn this option off or choose 1, 2, or 3 hours.

Temperature You have three temperature options: Normal, Low, and Air Fluff. Normal is for heavier fabrics,

such as denim, cotton, and linen. Low is for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as synthetics. Air Fluff does not activate the heating element. It simply circulates the air as it tumbles to shake out the dust and refresh the clothes.

Delayed Start You can set a delayed start from 1 to 24 hours. This option is useful in areas where utility

companies offer discount rates for off-peak hours.

Timed Dry You can program the dryer to run for a specific number of minutes, from 5 to 90.

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

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. Y ou 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.

To empty the container, follow the steps below:

1. Pull out the container.

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.
