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.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the laundry
after tumble drying, you can:
•
Use fabric softener when washing.
•
Wait five minutes after the drying program ends
before opening the door and removing the
laundry from the dryer.
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.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Page 10
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.
1
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
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.
2
Turn on the main power switch.
3
Open the door, load the items,
and then close the door
4
Select the program
Guidelines as to what specific
programs can be used for.
The Auto Heavy, Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
programs have two temperature settings. Normal
temperature, but also low temperature for more
delicate items.
Auto Heavy
Temperature Normal. This program is for items
that are particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans
with very thick seams.
Auto Normal
Temperature Normal. These programs shut off
the heat once the load is dry but before it is
"bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off
the heat slightly later than Auto Delicate. Use trial
and error to find out what works best. Use these
programs when you want items to be completely
dry.
Auto Delicate
Temperature Normal. These programs shut off
the heat once the load is dry but before it is
"bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off
the heat slightly later than Auto Delicate. Use trial
and error to find out what works best. Use these
programs when you want items to be completely
dry.
Auto Heavy
Temperature Low. This program is for items that
are particularly difficult to dry, such as jeans with
very thick seams.
Auto Normal
Temperature Low. These programs shut off the
heat once the load is dry but before it is
"bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off
the heat slightly later than Auto Delicate. Use trial
and error to find out what works best. Use these
programs when you want items to be completely
dry.
Auto Delicate
Temperature Low. These programs shut off the
heat once the load is dry but before it is
"bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off
the heat slightly later than Auto Delicate. Use trial
and error to find out what works best. Use these
programs when you want items to be completely
dry.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.

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.
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 youcannot removethe limescale,
you can buy a new filter from the retailer where
you bought the tumble dryer.
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.

WARNING!
WARNING - Risk of fire.
Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct
is installed, it must be of a specific type identified
by the applience manufacturer as suitable for
use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials
are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and
trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes
dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of of severe injury 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.
WARNING!
•
Clothes dryer installation must be performed
by a qualified 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 should
be louvered. To improve ventilation, the door
where the tumble dryer is located should be left
open when the dryer is in use.
Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine. An air gap of at least 5 mm
must be left between the washing machine and
the tumble dryer.
Stacking
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-tilt
brackets) supplied with the machine. You will find
two foot cups in a bag in the drum and two anti-tilt
brackets attached to the bottom left corner at the
back of the machine.

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).
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.
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” (12mm) minimum clearance
between units and cabinet or wall. To ensure
proper ventilation, we recommend louvered doors,
particularly for condenser dryers. Otherwise there
must be ventilation openings in the door. See
illustration for minimum ventilation openings:

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.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet and 4 elbows is
allowed. Subtract 4 feet of duct for each 90°
elbow.
Connecting the exhaust duct to the Left
or Right Side Outlet

Connecting to a ventilation duct
You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged
metal exhaust duct. If a flexible duct is used, it
must comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer
Transition Duct. Subject 2158A and maximum
length of 2.4 m (8 feet).
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.
Maximum duct length of 60 feet and 4 elbows 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).
When installing in warm climates (77° F and
above) with high humidity levels, do not route
the air exhaust duct upwards.
Examples of
installations
subtract 4 feet
for every 90°

applience is installed in a location where
grounding through the neutral conductor i
prohibited. Grounding through the neutral
conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles,
and areas where local codes prohibit grounding
through the neutral condutors. The grounding link
on the dryer must be removed for all 4-wire
installations.
These Electrical Connection instructions provide
for installing the dryer in the following situations:
3-wire connection where local codes permit
grounding through the neutral. 3-wire connection
plus separate grounding connector where local
codes do not permit grounding through the
neutral.
