CLEANING THE LINT FILTERCLEANING THE LINT FILTER

Although the lint in your ASKO dryer will be minimal, the lint filter should be cleaned after each load to ensure maximum air flow and prevent possible overheating. To clean the filter, follow the steps below:

1. Grasp the handle and pull it toward you.

2. Remove the filter from the holder by pulling it up.

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.

NOTE:

We recommend that you clean the lint filter after every load.

EMPTYING THE CONDENSATION WATER CONTAINEREMPTYING THE CONDENSATION WATER CONTAINER (T780 only) (T780 only)

If Model T780 is not installed to pump out the condensed water into a drain or a sink, you should empty the water 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, simply pull it out and pour out the water. This water is clean and can be used to water plants.

If the container becomes too full, the machine with 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.

NOTE:

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

Simply pull out the container and pour out the water.

OVERHEATING PROTECTIONOVERHEATING PROTECTION

The dryer has a protection device that shuts the machine off if the temperature becomes too high. Overheating could occur if the lint filter is clogged or if the fan or condenser unit (Model T780) needs to be cleaned. If the dryer shuts off during a program on Model T780, first, make sure the condensation water container is empty. If that isn’t the problem, check the lint filter. Lastly, it could be the fan or condenser unit needs to be cleaned. See your Use and Care Guide for instructions on how to clean these items.
