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
• colour
• material
Clothing
• Do up zips so that they don’t harm fabrics.
• New coloured 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 recommended wash programs
for different materials and wash loads. With
an ASKO washer in conjunction with modern
day detergents, it is a good idea to trial and
error to find out what produces the best
results.
9
Page 10
Advice and tips before washing
Coloured cotton
Coloured cotton items with the washing
instruction 60 °C should be washed at 60 °C
for the first time in order to remove any excess
dye. If you do not do so, there is a risk that
the colour will run. Use detergent without
bleach in order to preserve the colour of the
fabric.
Delicates
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 60 °C, using detergent containing no bleach
or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled linen can
occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often because the
heat can destroy the linen’s shine and
strength.
Wool and silk
These fabrics are sometimes labelled 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 terry 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.

Advice and tips before washing
Artificial fibres and synthetic fibres
These materials require plenty of room to
prevent them from getting creased. Only fill
the drum half full when washing artificial or
synthetic fibres. Choose a short spin by
selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm or less.
Note!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
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 Heavy white 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. This is automatically selected in the
Wool/Hand program.
Economy and effciency
You can save 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 Heavy wash, Heavy
white, Colour 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-labelled detergents are less harmful to
the environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder
the wash performance.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only
if you are not satisfied with the results.
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!
Because of 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
discolouration of the machine.

Washing
Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and Tips" section

before washing.
Note!
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics.
See the "Advice and Tips" section before
washing.
Turn on the main power switch.

Open the washer door and load the washing
3
If the door is closed, press the Door
opening button (key symbol). The door will
open after a few seconds. Load the laundry.
The laundry program chart shows how much
laundry can be washed with each program.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly
in the drum and select a program without prewash.
Note!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder
the wash performance.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compartment
with the symbol. Follow the
recommendations on the fabric softener
packaging.
Note!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum
fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in
too early, and will impair washing results.
Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
4
The detergent packaging will give a
recommendation about how much detergent
you should use. The machine holds 6 kg of
laundry. If you only have a small amount of
washing in the machine, you can reduce the
amount of detergent you use.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid detergent, follow the
detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
Powder detergent
When using liquid detergent, follow the
detergent manufacturer’s recommendations.
We recommend always using a wash ball with
very thick liquid detergent.

2. Time program
When you use this program, it is important to
remember to adjust the temperature and time
depending on how heavily soiled the washing
is. Choose a temperature up to 60 °C, set the
spin speed to a maximum of 1600 rpm and
set the time when you want the program to
finish. The machine will automatically choose
a program of the right length with the settings
you have selected.
3. Heavy
Use this program for heavily soiled laundry.
You only need to use the maximum
temperature, 95 °C, if the laundry is very
heavily soiled.
4. Normal
This program is equivalent to the Heavy
program, but without the pre-wash. It should
be used for heavily-soiled whites, where a
temperature of 60 °C is sufficient.
Select the program
You can select a program by turning the
5
program selector. The name of the
selected program is highlighted and the finish
time of the program appears on the display.
Start the program by pressing the Start/Stop
button, or press the button in the centre of the
program selector to go on and select Options.
1. Auto

of the main wash and the number of rinses
depending on the amount of washing and how
heavily soiled it is.
5. White
Normally soiled sheets, pillow cases and
towels will come clean at 60 °C.
6. Colour
Clothes worn next to the skin should be
washed at 60 °C. Lightly-soiled laundry can
be washed at 40 °C. Most modern detergents
clean even at 40 °C.
7. Quick
Lightly soiled laundry that only needs
freshening up can be washed for a short time
at40 °C.
8. Synthetic
This program is suitable for shirts and blouses
made of synthetic and blended material.
Wash white clothes at 60 °C and coloured
clothes at 40 °C.

Care and cleaning
Checking the trap and drainage pump
The washing machine has a trap, where
coins, hairpins and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drainage pump:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the mains.
2. Open the hatch for the drainage 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.
Cleaning the detergent compartment
Open the detergent compartment and lift out
the insert. Rinse it and scrub it clean with a
washing-up 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.
4. Unscrew the cover anti-clockwise and
remove.
5. Remove any foreign objects from the trap
and pump assembly. Check to see that the
pump blades, right at the back, will rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin and close the hatch.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
Cleaning the inside of the machine to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow clothes to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine.
These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells
developing; especially if constantly using cold
wash.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95°
wash program a few times a year. When you
do this, use a small quantity of detergent. Do
not put any washing in the machine.

Care and cleaning
Rinse holes under the agitator
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 agitator. 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 central hole
on the agitator and turn the screwdriver
handle gently to the left.
3. With your other hand, hold the agitator and
pull it towards you as shown in the
illustration.
4. Lift the agitator.
If you have hard water
If you live in an area with hard water
(limescale), the washer drum may develop a
greyish-white coating. To remove this, empty
a sachet of citric acid, approx. 20 gram, into
the washer drum and run the Normal program
at 95 °C. Repeat if necessary.
5. Remove any objects.
6. Place the agitator in the mounting hole with
the F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the
agitator fasteners are in their holes in the
drum. Push it away from you until it
catches.

Troubleshooting
The washer door will not open
1. Check that the main power switch is on.
2. Has the power supply been cut off? Check
the house fuses (circuit breakers). The
washer door cannot be opened if the power
supply has been cut off.
If nothing else works, the washer door
can be opened as follows:
• This must only be done in an emergency
if the machine's glass door does not
open automatically when the program
has finished.
• First check that there is no water left in
the machine. If there is water left in the
machine and it is not possible to run the
Drain program, first empty the machine.
This is described under the heading
“Checking the Trap and Drainage pump”
in the “Care and Cleaning” chapter.
• Make sure that the mains power switch
is off and that the plug has been
removed from the wall socket.
• Open the hatch to the drainage pump,
bottom left. Illustration 1.
• Open the glass door by putting the
opener in the slot to the right of the lock
on the door. Push the opener up or
down and the door will open. Illustration
3.
If the machine's glass door does not open the
next time a washing program has finished,
call the service division.
The machine will not start
1. Is the washer door properly closed? Push
it firmly.
2. Is there power? Check your home’s fuses.
3. Check that you have not selected Delayed
Start.
• Remove the drainage hose and take out
the emergency opener which is behind
the hose. Illustration 2.

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.
• Finally, the rubber spacers should be
turned over and replaced in the transport
protection device holes.
• First remove the screws and remove the
washers.
• Then remove the rubber spacers.
Important!
In order to prevent the machine from being
damaged when it is 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.

beside or under a dryer.
Adjusting the feet
Keep the noise that the machine produces to
a minimum by adjusting the feet so that the
machine is steady and balanced on the floor.
Tighten the lock nuts.
Connection to water supply
Water connection should be carried out by a
qualified professional. Connect the machine
using the accompanying supply hose. Water
pressure should be 0.1–1MPa (approx.
1–10kp/cm2 ; 10-100N/cm2). There should
be a stopcock or tap on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise
to flush them through so that any dirt is
washed away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the
filter in the machine’s water intake and cut off
cut off or reduce water flow to the machine.
Check for leaks.
Only use the inlet hose supplied with the
machine. Do not reuse old or other loose inlet
hoses.
