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 rst few times.

• Turn delicate items inside out. This

reduces the risk of burring and fading.

• Empty pockets and wash them inside out if possible!

Material Program Load

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 nd

out what produces the best results.

Advice And Tips Before Washing

Colored cotton

Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C) should be washed on HOT, the rst 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.

Delicate

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 linens sheen and strength.

Wool and silk

These fabrics are sometimes labeled as machine washable and sometimes as hand wash. The machines 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 cloth towels. In this case select No spin.

To nd out how to select this setting, see

the operating instructions. Most items can withstand a short spin. Select short spin by selecting a spin speed below medium.

Articial bers and synthetic bers

These materials require plenty of room to prevent them from getting wrinkled.

Only ll half the drum when washing articial or synthetic bers. Choose a short spin by

selecting a spin speed of medium.

Note!

Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet

Save time and energy

Use the White program to save time and energy. This program has a shorter main wash than a Heavily Soiled wash, but it is often long enough for normally soiled laundry.

Economy and efciency

You can save a lot of energy by not using higher temperature programs than necessary.

• Select Quick wash 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.

• Try to wash only full loads whenever possible.

• Avoid washing with prewash. Modern machines and detergents clean without prewash. Only garments soiled with protein stains such as grape juice or grass are likely to need a prewash.

Detergents

Eco-labeled detergents are less harmful to the environment. 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 satised with the results.

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.

Advice And Tips Before Washing

Detergents

Note!

Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the use of chlorine bleach in your Asko washing machine. The tumbling wash action, temperature control options,

extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are sufcient to remove most

stains.

Laundry detergents are available in low, normal and high-sudsing formulas. A detergents 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 difcult to

completely rinse out.

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 pre-wash, so add it into the main wash compartment. Should you prefer to use a liquid detergent, we have provided a liquid detergent cup

specically for use with liquid detergents.

Insert the liquid detergent cup in the main wash compartment before you pour in the liquid detergent.

The use of anything other than a lowsudsing 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

oor. If over-sudsing 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 Everyday Wear/Normal wash program to get rid of any remaining detergent.

The tumbling wash action, temperature

control options, extended wash times and proper amount of detergent are sufcient to

remove most stains.

Note!

The liquid detergent cup is supplied with the machine.

1-800-898-1879

www.askousa.com

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 specically for front-loading washers. These are sometimes called HE (HighEfciency) detergents. Listed below are

some low-sudsing 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 two or three 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. Additionally, you should never put detergent in the pre-wash 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

section for more details.

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.

Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until

you nd 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.

Operating Instructions

Liquid Bleach

When using liquid bleach, follow the bleach manufacturer’s recommendations. The bleach will be automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.

Note!

Do not ll above the compartment’s maximum ll level. Overlling can cause

early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes. Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric softener

Pour the fabric softener into the fabric softener compartment. Follow the recommendations on the fabric softener packaging.

Note!

Do not ll above the compartment’s maximum ll level. Otherwise fabric softener

will be dispensed too early, which impairs the washing effect.

washer for an extended period of time, you

should:

• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off power to the washer.

• Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental ooding (due

to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Cleaning the water inlet lter

If your water is very hard or contains traces

of lime deposit, the water inlet lter may

become clogged.

1. Pull the power

cord out of the

Removing Stains

Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be pre washed or soaked for best results. Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk or grass. Pre washing helps loosen soil before washing.

Stain removal rules

Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.

Before treating any stain, nd out what

kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of fabric it is, and whether the fabric is

colorfast. (Check the care label)

Washing and drying can set some stains. Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains. When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric. Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off of the fabric instead of through it.

A rm, solid oor is even more critical to a

front-loading washer than to a top-loader.

If your oor is wood and/or frame

construction, you may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders, causing greater

vibration. If the oor is not solid, your

washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel

[Closet, Stacking - Front View]

the vibration throughout your house.

• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.

• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer MUST be installed on a solidly

constructed oor.
