not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or
concealed space in a building.
Warning!
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance (Canadian market
only). If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently connected appliance:

Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at
1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save
both energy and drying time.
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth,
and synthetic fibers. Garments will be softer
and lighter when tumbled than when hung out
to dry.
Note!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant wear to fabrics. The lint trapped in the
lint filter consists of dust and fiber residues
which gather when the items are used.
Materials that should not be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a fire hazard if exposed
to heat and others can lose their shape or
shrink.
And do not tumble dry
• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• fiberglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the
risk of piling.
Note!
If the door is opened during the program, the
program will be interrupted and will return to
the start. The clothes may be too damp or too
dry as a result.

Operating instructions
Warning!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury
to persons, read the "Important Safety Instructions" section before operating this appliance.
Below are step-by-step instructions to help
you achieve the best possible tumble drying
results.
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
1
results if the items are made of the same
type of material. Close zippers and fasten
buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load
and temperature.
Turn on the main power switch.
2
Open the door, load the items,
and then close the door
3
Normal and Delicate
These programs shut off the heat once the
load is dry but before it is "bone-dry". The
Normal program shuts off the heat slightly
later than Delicate. Use trial and error to find
out what works best. Use these programs
when you want items to be completely dry.
Iron Dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load
is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed Dry
The program length you choose depends on
what you intend to do with the items after
drying them. Use trial and error to find out
what works best. When you use Timed Dry
to tumble dry a load of mixed fabrics, some
of the garments may remain damp. Tumble
dry any damp garments for a further 30 minutes or so using the Timed Dry program.
Note!
Select the program
You can select a program by cycling
4
through the programs with the program
selector. (the big arrow) until the desired
name is highlighted and the program end time
appears on the display. Start the program by
pressing the Start button, or press the program selector to select Options.
Guidelines as to what specific programs can be used for.
Heavy
This program is for items that are particularly
difficult to dry, such as jeans with very thick
seams.
Note!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Normal, Delicate, or Iron
Dry programs for these items. Stretch clothes
back into shape immediately after drying.
When using the Timed Dry program, garments can become "over-dry" if you have selected too long a drying time. This can cause
the items to shrink or wrinkle and become
rough. Synthetic materials can also become
charged with static electricity.
Setting the time for the Air Fluff or Timed Dry program
For the Air Fluff and Timed Dry programs, you
set the number of minutes incrementally. The
selected time is shown on the display. You
can try out different drying times.
Air Fluff
Use the Air Fluff program when you just want
to refresh, air out,, or soften up items.

Care and maintenance instructions
Cleaning the lint filter
The lint filter must be cleaned after each load.
If you have very hard water, this can cause
limescale deposits in the lint filter. Check for
any limescale deposits when cleaning the lint
filter and, if necessary, wash the filter by hand.
Additionally, the filter should be cleaned with
hot water, detergent, and a soft brush quarterly.
1. Grasp the filter handle and pull it toward
you.
2. Pull the filter out of its holder.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
solvents, as these can damage the machine.
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
Note!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the
machine. Keep the area around the tumble
dryer clean and cool; dust, heat, and moisture
prolong drying times.
3. Open the filter and remove the lint from all
sides of it by hand. Use a soft, dry cloth to
remove any deposits.
4. Replace the filter in its holder.
Note!
If you have hard water, the filter should be
washed with water to remove any limescale
deposits. Use a sponge and a little dishwashing detergent if necessary. Dry the filter carefully with a towel. If you cannot remove the
limescale, you can buy a new filter from the
retailer where you bought the tumble dryer.

Installation instructions
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.
Caution!
For proper ventilation, the machine should
not be installed behind a door.
Caution!
The vent on the bottom of the front of the
dryer must not be blocked by a carpet or rug.
Tip!
If the unit must be installed behind a door
should be louvered. To improve ventilation,
the door where the tumble dryer is located
should be left open when the dryer is in use.
C. 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, 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). The condensing models work best when they have
good air circulation. 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).
Caution!
Any electrical installation should be carried
out by qualified professionals.
A. Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside
the washing machine.
B. Stacked
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of a
Asko washing machine. To stack the dryer,
you need the stacking attachments (foot cups
and anti-tip devices) that come with the machine: You will find 2 foot cups in a bag in the
drum and 2 anti-tip devices attached to the
bottom left corner at the back of the machine.
Extension plates can be ordered from your
local retailer.
Notes
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). Hole measurements are from center of hole.

Installation instructions
How to assemble the stacking kit:
1. Undo the anti-tip device.
2. Remove the two screws indicated on the
back of the washing machine.
3. Secure the anti-tip device using the screws
as shown in the picture.
5. Fit the plastic cups so that the "tags"
marked with arrows are against the front
edge or side edge of the cover and press
them firmly onto the cover. Then break off
the remaining tabs.
6. Push out the knock-out hole on the back
of the dryer (you don't have to completely
remove the knockout, just fold it up far
enough for the stacking bracket to fit inside
the slot) using a hammer and screwdriver.
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 dryer is correctly positioned on the
washing machine.
Break off tab A on the cup fitted on the right
side and tab B on the cup fitted on the left
side. Then remove the paper from the selfadhesive surface under the plastic cups.
7. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal
brackets. At the same time, keep the front
edge raised by 0.4" (10mm) to 0.8"
(20mm).
8. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the
plastic cups and adjust the dryer to ensure
that it is balanced.

Excessive duct length and too many bends
can impede drying performance. We recommend that you cut off any excess exhaust duct
and run the duct with as few bends as possible. Make any necessary bends as gentle as
possible.
Note
Maximum duct length of 60 feet is allowed.
Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90° elbow.

Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch
ridged metal exhaust duct.
Note
The more bends and the longer the duct, the
less air will circulate through the machine,
which will impede drying performance. We
recommend that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the duct with as few bends
as possible. And make any necessary bends
as gentle as possible.
Note
Maximum duct length of 60 feet is allowed.
Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90° elbow. If
more than 20 feet of duct is needed, the diameter must be increased to 6” or 8” (152 mm
or 203 mm).
Note
Warning!
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must
be exhausted OUTDOORS or the equivalent.
Never cover the end of the dryer stub or exhaust duct with anything to catch lint, except
for UL approved vent basket.
When installing in warm climates (77° F and
above) with high humidity levels, do not route
the air exhaust duct upwards.
