Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance.
• Do not run appliance while you are out of
the home.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable
or explosive substances because they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
washing compartment.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum
is moving.
• Do not install or store this appliance where
it will be exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents,
or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for 2 weeks or
more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, before using a washing
machine or combination washer-dryer, turn
on all water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Warning!
This appliance must be properly grounded.
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
Grounding instructions

In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
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. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper

intake. If the water level has not dropped
within 60 seconds, the program is terminated.
Transport/Winter storage
If the machine is to be transported or stored
in unheated premises where the temperature
can fall below freezing, do as follows:
• Empty the filter and drain pump (see the
"Care and Cleaning" chapter).
• Shut off the water to the washing machine,
loosen the supply hose to the intake valve,
and let the water run out from the valve and
hose.
• After emptying the pump, a small amount
of water may remain in the machine. This
does not affect quality or damage the machine.

Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• how soiled they are
• color
• material
Clothing
• Close zippers so that they don’t harm fabrics.
• New colored items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed separately the first few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces the risk of burling and fading.
• Empty pockets and wash them inside out
if possible!
Laundry labels
Look at the item’s laundry label. The table
below shows suitable wash programs for different materials and wash loads. Using modern washing machines and detergents, such
as compact detergents, you can usually wash
at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to find out what produces the best results.

Advice and tips before washing
Colored cotton
Colored cotton items labeled 140°F (60°C)
should be washed at 140°F (60°C) the first
time in order to remove any excess dye. If you
do not do so, there is a risk that the color will
run. Use detergent without bleach in order to
preserve the color of the fabric.
Delicates
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 140°F (60°C), using detergent containing
no bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled
linen can occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often as the heat
can destroy the linen’s sheen and strength.
Wool and silk
These fabrics are sometimes labeled as machine washable and sometimes as hand
wash. The machine’s Wool/hand program is
just as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such
as washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can
squeeze out the water using terrycloth towels.
In this case select No spin.
To find out how to select this setting, see the
"Washing" chapter. However, most items can
withstand a short spin. Select short spin by
selecting a spin speed below 800 rpm.
Artificial fibers and synthetic fibers
These materials require plenty of room to
prevent them from getting wrinkled. Only fill
half the drum when washing artificial or synthetic fibers. Choose a short spin by selecting
a spin speed of 800 rpm or less.
Reducing allergic reactions
The washing machine has a Super Rinse option. Use this for people with sensitive skin,
such as those with allergies and small children.
Save time and energy
Use the White program to save time and energy. This program has a shorter main wash
than a Stain - Color wash, but it is often long
enough for normally soiled laundry.
High Water Level
If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High Water Level option. High Water Level is used automatically
in the Wool/Hand program.
Economy and efficiency
You can save a lot of energy by not using
higher temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or sports clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces
energy consumption when drying in a
tumble dryer or drying cabinet.
• Always wash with a fully loaded machine
when you use the Stain - White, Stain,
Color, and White programs!
• Avoid washing with pre-wash. Modern
machines and detergents clean without
pre-wash. Only very heavily soiled laundry,
such as overalls and similar garments, are
likely to need a pre-wash.
Detergents
Eco-labeled detergents are less harmful to
the environment.
Note!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
1-800-898-1879
www.askousa.com
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only
if you are not satisfied with the results.
13Customer Care Center
Page 14
Advice and tips before washing
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select the Normal program with the Super Rinse
option On. Select temperature according to
the dye manufacturer’s recommendations.
Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be
dyed is a blended material such as
polyester/cotton.
Note!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum –
not to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you should run the machine empty using
the same program. Use the normal amount
of detergent.
Note!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the use of strong chemicals.
When using agents for bleaching or stain removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and
discoloration of the machine.
Detergents
Laundry detergents are available in low-,
normal- and high-sudsing formulas. A detergent´s ability to clean is not relative to the
amount of suds it produces. Excess suds in
a front-loading washer actually interfere with
the cleaning because they cushion the tumbling action. Also, high-sudsing detergents
are more difficult to completely rinse out.
The use of anything other than a low-sudsing
detergent can cause severe oversudsing,
which could cause suds to backup through
the detergent compartment and run down the
front of the washer onto the floor. If oversudsing occurs, run the wash through one or more
rinse programs until all items are thoroughly
rinsed. Remove the laundry then run the
washer through a Normal wash program to
get rid of any remaining detergent.
We recommend that you don’t use bleach in
your ASKO washer. The tumbling wash action, temperature control options, extended
wash times and proper amount of detergent
are sufficient to remove most stains.
Liquid detergents
We don’t recommend liquid detergents because they tend to produce more suds than
powder detergents when used in water temperatures of 150° F or higher. If you should
try a liquid detergent, start with a very small
amount, such as 1 to 2 tablespoons. Also,
liquid detergent can be used for all programs
without prewash, so add it into the main wash
compartment.
Customer Care Center14
1-800-898-1879
www.askousa.com
Page 15
Advice and tips before washing
Recommended powder detergents
ASKO washers use 50% to 75% less detergent than most other washers. This is because of their low water consumption and the
fact that all the wash water is repeatedly circulated through the laundry, ensuring that all
the detergent is fully utilized. We recommend
that you use powder detergents made
specifically for front-loading washers. These
are sometimes called HE (High-Efficiency)
detergents. Listed below are some lowsudsing powder detergents that have been
successfully tested in ASKO washers:
• Fab
• All
• Tide HE
• Amway SA8
• Fresh Start
• Wisk HE
We recommend that you do not use any
powder detergent that doesn’t wash completely out of the detergent drawer.
Amount of detergent to use
The amount of detergent needed varies
among the different brands, but for most detergents, you need only one or two tablespoons. Using too much detergent can result
in detergent residue being left in your clothes,
which can cause them to appear gray or
dingy. You should start with a small amount
of detergent and increase it only if the cleaning results are unsatisfactory.
Detergent Amounts Based on Water Hardness
The amount of detergent needed can vary
due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water
softening company. The harder the water, the
more detergent you may need. Refer to the
chart below for the recommended detergent
amounts based on water hardness. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find
the correct amount.
Note that 12 grains and higher is extremely
hard water and detergent alone may not be
enough. You may need to use a water softener to maximize the performance of your
washer. Also, in areas with extremely hard
water (9+) you may need to wash at lower
temperatures to prevent hard water deposits
from forming in the tank and wash system.
Different brands of detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softening water.
If you have hard water and use a detergent
with less than 8.7% phosphorous content,
you may need to use more detergent or use
a detergent with a higher phosphorous content.
Additionally, you should never put detergent
in the prewash compartment unless you are
using a wash program that has a prewash
cycle. This could cause excess foaming,
which could damage the machine.
The amount of detergent needed can also
depend on the hardness of the water in your
area. See the “Detergent Amounts Based on
Water Hardness” section on the next page
for more details.

Selecting Options
You can select options to adjust the washing program to suit your own specific requirements.
The machine remembers which options you chose for a program (with the exception of Delayed
Start) the next time you select the same program. Of course, you can change this if you want.
Temperature
1. Choose the temperature by pressing the program selector until a temperature is highlighted.
2. Turn the program selector until the desired temperature is displayed. You can select temperatures between Cold and 203°F (95°C). If you select Cold, the washing temperature will be
the same as that of the machine's water supply. You cannot choose a higher temperature
than 104°F (40°C) for Wool or 86°F (30°C) for Hand. The maximum temperature for the Time
program is 140°F (60°C).
3. Press the Start/Stop button to start the program or press the program selector to choose more
options.
Spin
1. Choose the spin speed by pressing the program selector until a speed is highlighted.
2. Turn the program selector until the speed you want is displayed. You can select speeds between 400 and 2000 rpm, No spin, or No drain. A spin with a speed of 400-800 rpm is always
a short spin. For the Delicate/Wool and Perma Press programs, you cannot choose a spin
speed higher than 800 rpm.
3. Time Choice has a maximum speed of 1600 rpm.
4. No spin means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends by draining. No
draining means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends with the water from
the final rinse still in the machine. The washing will remain covered by the water from the final
rinse and therefore will not become wrinkled.
5. In order to remove the laundry from the machine, select either a Spin or Drain program or
press the Door Opening button (key symbol) to drain the water from the machine.
6. Press the Start/Stop button to start the program or press the program selector to choose more
options.
Rinse
1. This option can be selected with all programs except Auto, Time, Rinse, Spin and Drain.
Choose the number of rinses by pressing the program selector until one of the rinse symbols,
Economy Rinse (removes 1 rinse), Normal Rinse, or Super Rinse (adds 2 extra rinses), appears
on the display.
2. You can choose Light, Normal, or Super Rinse by turning the program selector.
3. Press the Start/Stop button to start the program or press the program selector to choose more
options.

Care and maintenance instructions
Checking the filter and drain pump
The washing machine has a filter, where
coins, hairpins, and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drain pump:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the main power
switch.
2. Open the hatch for the drain pump as
shown in the illustration.
3. Drain out the water, into a bowl, for example, by unhooking the drainage hose from
the pin inside the hatch.
4. Open the pump by unscrewing the cover
counterclockwise. Remove the cover with
the filter.
Cleaning the detergent compartment
Open the detergent compartment and lift out
the insert. Rinse it and scrub it clean with a
dish brush. Replace the compartment.
Note!
Do not run the detergent compartment
through a dishwasher!
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
any solvents, as these can damage the machine.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
5. Remove any objects or debris from the
pump housing. Check to see that the pump
impellers at the back will rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin, and close the hatch.

Cleaning the inside of the machine to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow laundry to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine.
These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant odors
developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 203°F
(95°C) wash program once a month. When
you do this, use a small quantity of detergent.
It is not necessary to put any laundry in the
machine.

Care and maintenance instructions
Rinse holes under the paddle
If you think that an object, such as a nail or a
paper clip, may have fallen through the wash
drum, you should check the container under
the paddle. Objects of this kind can rust and
cause spots on clothing. Nails and other sharp
objects can make holes in fabric.
Do as follows:
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.
2. Insert the screwdriver into the center hole
on the paddle and turn the screwdriver
handle gently to the left.
3. With your other hand, hold the paddle and
pull it toward you as shown in the illustration.
4. Lift the paddle.
If you have hard water
If you live in an area with hard water
(limescale), the washer drum may develop a
grayish-white coating. To remove this, empty
a sachet of citric acid, approx. 20gram
(1ounce), into the washer drum and run the
Stain - Color program at 203°F (95°C). Repeat if necessary.
5. Remove any objects.
6. Place the paddle in the mounting hole with
the F-mark toward you. Ensure that all the
paddle fasteners are in their holes in the
drum. Push it away from you until it catches.

Transport protection
Before the machine is used, the three transport protection devices should be removed
as shown below.
Each transport protection device consists of
a screw, a washer, and a rubber spacer. After
the protection device has been removed, the
rubber spacer acts as a plug for the holes for
the device and also as a damper.
Important!
• First remove the screws and the washers.
• Then remove the rubber spacers.
• Finally, the rubber spacers should be
turned over and replaced in the transport
protection device holes.
In order to prevent the machine from being
damaged when transported, use the transport
protection device, which locks the entire inner
compartment in place. If the transport protection device is missing, you can order one from
your retailer.

Be sure to tighten the
lock nuts securely when
you level the machine.
Installation instructions
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you install the machine. The
installation should be carried out by a qualified
person who is familiar with all local codes and
ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections.
Cosmetic damage must be reported to your
dealer within five days from the date of purchase. After unpacking the washer, thoroughly check the unit for cosmetic damage.
Leveling the machine
It is important that the machine is level to
prevent excessive vibrations during spin cycles. Each foot of the washer is adjustable,
so you can level the washer on any surface.
Once it is level, securely tighten the lock nuts
on the feet to prevent excessive vibration
during spin cycles.
Water supply connection
Since ASKO washers have a built-in heating
element, you only need a cold water inlet. The
connection should be made by someone who
is sufficiently skilled. Use the hose supplied
with the washer. (The inlet hose is marked for
correct connection.) The water pressure must
be in the range 15–146 PSI. A tap should be
fitted on the water supply pipe. If a new supply
pipe has been installed for the washer, it
should be flushed thoroughly to remove any
foreign particles that might clog the filter in
the water inlet.
Note!
If the unit is installed on a second storey, follow local building codes. We recommend installing a drip pan.

This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Warning!
Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Connections
The machine is delivered ready-fitted with a
plug and is intended for connection to an
ASKO Dryer, which is equipped with a
matching receptacle. The plug supplied with
the washer can only be used with an ASKO
Dryer. If the washer is used separately or with
another dryer, it must be on a separate 220
V single-phase circuit.
If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the
supply must be protected by a residual current
device.
As supplied: 230 V, 60 Hz, 2000 W heating

Freestanding installation
The washer can be placed next to the dryer.
It is essential that the machine is leveled and
the locknuts are tightened to prevent excessive vibration during spin cycles. Also be sure
to leave a minimum of ½" of space between
the washer and the dryer. The height adjustment for the washer is 33½" to 34½" (850 mm
to 876 mm). Do not raise it higher than 34½"
(876 mm).
Stacked installation
ASKO washers should never be stacked on
a counter or a dryer. You can, however, stack
an ASKO dryer on an ASKO washer. Refer
to your Dryer Use and Care Guide for instructions on how to do this.

Installation instructions
Built-in installation
ASKO washers can be installed beneath a
cabinet or worktop with a height of 34½" (876
mm). There must be a gap of about ½" (12
mm) all around the machine, including between the rear edge of the machine's top
panel and the back wall. The opening width
must be at least 24½" (622 mm). Space must
also be available for the inlet and drain hoses.
