Installation instructions for vented tumble dryer

DOMESTIC

WARNING!

Risk of fi re.

Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with fl exible
plastic venting materials. If fl exible metal (foil
type) duct is installed, it must be of a specifi c
type identifi ed by the applience manufacturer
that is UL approved for use with clothes
dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to
collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer
airfl ow and increase the risk of fi re.
To reduce the risk of of severe injur y or death,
follow all installation instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.

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.

Stacking

The tumble dryer can be placed on top of an
ASKO washing machine. Use the two foot cups
found in the document bag included with the
machine and the two tip guards attached to
the bottom of the back of the machine.

How to assemble the stack:

1. Undo the screw on the back of the ASKO
washing machine as shown in the fi gure.

2. Secure the anti-tilt device using the screws
as shown in the picture.

6. Slide the dryer backward until it reaches the
anti-tipping bracket. Make sure the front of
the appliance is raised by 50 to 150 mm as
you slide it back.

Adjusting the feet

Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble
dryer is steady and balanced on the fl oor or on
the washing machine.

NOTE!

• Do not install the machine in a room
where there is a risk of frost occurring.
At temperatures around freezing point
the machine may not be able to operate
properly.

• The room in which the appliance is installed
should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

WARNING!

• Clothes dryer installation must be
performed by a qualifi ed installer.

• For proper ventilation, the machine should
not be installed behind a door.

• The tumble dryer’s toe kick ventilation must
not be blocked by a rug or the like.

NOTE!

• If the unit must be installed behind a door,
the door should be louvered. (please see
door ventilation requirements in the Built-in
chapter). To improve ventilation, the door
where the tumble dryer is located should be
left openwhen the dr yer is in use.

3. Take the other anti-tipping bracket from
the bag and attach it on the dr yer with two
screws as shown in the fi gure.

4. Place the two rubber feet on the front feet
of the dryer.

5. Fasten or undo the rear feet of the
appliance until it is fully level, either on the
fl oor or on the washing machine.

Freestanding

The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine.

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 side of the machine and the
back wall. The opening width must be at least
24-1/2” (622 mm).

NOTE!

• The height adjustment for the dryer is 33­1/2” 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.

Install in a closet

ASKO’s front panel controls make it possible to
install the washers and dryers in a closet. Make
sure there is a ½” (12 mm) minimum clearance
between units and cabinet or wall. To ensure
proper ventilation, we recommend louvered
doors.
Otherwise there must be ventilation openings
in the door. See illustration for minimum
ventilation openings:

Air exhaust

NOTE!

The tumble dr yer must only be operated when
it is correctly fi tted with exhaust duct.

Connecting the exhaust duct to the dryer

NOTE!

You will need to purchase a UL-CSA-approved
4” ridged metal exhaust duct. The dr yer is
delivered with the stub pipe attached to the
rear exhaust outlet, though the exhaust duct
can be at tached to either the lef t or the right
exhaust outlet.

Asko dryers have a "T-style"
exhaust vent that allows you to
connec t the duct on the rear, on
the lef t, or on the r ight side

Duct

The duct must not be assembled with screws
or other fastener s that extend into the duct
and catch lint.

To connect the exhaust duct to the rear outlet

To connect the exhaust duc t to the rear
outlet, follow the steps below:

1. Push the duct onto the stub pipe and
secure it with a clamp

2. With the duct attached, inser t the stub
pipe into the hole. It should snap into place.

3. After you push the dr yer into place, check
for kinks in the duct.

NOTE!

• Excessive duct length and too many bends

can impede dr ying performance. We
recommend that you cut off any excess
exhaust duct and run the duct with as few
bends as possible. Make any necessar y bends
as gentle as possible.

Customer Care Center, 1-800 -898-1879, www.askona.com

NOTE!

• Maximum duct length of 60 feet. A

maximum of 4 elbows may be used, but 4
feet of duct must subtracted from the total
vent leng th for every 90° elbow used.
