SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
Please read the instruction manual and save it for future reference.
•Please do not use the washing machine if you have not read and understood these instructions or use first.
•Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate use of the washing machine may result in damage to the laundry or machine, or injury to the user. Keep the instruction manual handy, near the washing machine.
•Instructions for use are available on our website at www.asko.com.
•Your washing machine is intended solely for household use.
•The appliance has to be connected to the water and power supply by a trained expert.
•Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
•To avoid hazard, damaged power cord may only be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized service technician, or other authorized person.
•After installation, the washing machine should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
•The washing machine may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
•Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
•To connect the washing machine to water supply, make sure to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets. Water pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1 MPa (approximately 1–10 kp/cm2, 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/cm2).
•Always use a new water supply hose to connect the appliance to water supply; do not reuse an old water supply hose.
•After the washing cycle, close the water tap and pull out the washing machine plug from the power socket.
•Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as described in the instruction manual. The machine is not intended for dry cleaning.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost of any damage.
•Only use detergents intended for the washing machine!
•Only use agents for machine washing and care of laundry. We shall not be responsible for any damages or discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.
3
•Bleaches that contain chlorine can be replaced with oxygen-based bleaches. Otherwise, a neutralization cycle should be performed by running the Cotton program at the highest temperature. For best results, use hydrogen peroxide or oxygen-based detergents.
•Do not use colourants (dyes) or bleaching substances (substances for discolouration or removal of colourants) as they contain sulphuric compounds that could cause corrosion.
•Excessive use of products containing chlorine compounds increases the risk of premature failure of appliance components. This depends on the concentration of chlorine, exposure time, and temperature.
•
Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could lead to release of poisonous gases, damage to the machine, and risk of fire and explosion.
•Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the transport bolts and all other transport protection devices. See chapter "BEFORE FIRST USE / Transport protection".
•The machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical or mental impairments, or persons with lacking experience and knowledge. These persons should be instructed about the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
•Emergency door opening tool is located on the back side of the dispenser.
•Maximum washing capacity in kg (for the label program Standard cotton) is indicated on the rating plate (or in the PROGRAM TABLE).
CHILD SAFETY
•Do not allow small children to play with the washing machine.
•Before closing the washing machine door and running the program, make sure there is nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the washing machine drum and closed the door from the inside).
•Keep the detergent and conditioner out of reach of children.
•Activate the child lock. See chapter "SYSTEM SETTINGS, section Child Lock".
•Do not let children younger than three years to come near the appliance, unless they are under constant supervision.
•The washing machine is made in compliance with all relevant safety standards. This washing machine may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, but only if they are supervised during the use of the appliance, if they have been provided relevant instructions regarding safe use of the washing machine, and if they understand the
4
hazards of inappropriate use. Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Make sure the children do not clean the washing machine or perform any maintenance tasks without supervision.
DANGER OF HOT SURFACE 
•At higher washing temperatures, the door glass will heat up. Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play near the door glass.
WATER OVERFLOW PROTECTION 
•If the water level in the appliance rises above the normal level, then the excessive water level protection will be activated. It will shut o the water supply and start pumping out the water. If the water level does not decrease in 60 seconds, the program will be interrupted (see chapter "ERRORS – WHAT TO DO?").
TRANSPORTING / STORAGE DURING THE WINTER
If you transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms that are not heated and where the temperature could drop to below freezing point, please do the following:
•Clean the drain pump filter. See chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".
•Close the water supply to the washing machine, undo the water supply hose from the water supply tap, and wait until the water flows out of the tap and the hose.
•After the drain pump filter is emptied, there can still be a small amount of water in the machine. This, however, does not a ect the quality and will not damage the appliance.
•If the washing machine is to be transported, transport protection has to be re-installed before transport (See chapter "BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME").

CLEANING
Disconnect the washing machine from the power mains and open the door. Clean the washing machine drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Connect the washing machine to the power mains and run the dedicated drum cleaning program. See chapter "WASHING PROCESS; STEP BY STEP (1–8)" /STEP 5: CHOOSE THE PROGRAM.
No program can be started while the door is open.
SETTINGS BEFORE FIRST USE
After connecting the washing machine and power it for the first time, you will be asked to do following settings:
Language selection
Press the button 2 or the program selector knob to scroll the list of languages. Confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.
The amount of detergent depends on the hardness of water. For details, see the detergent packaging. Please contact your local water supply company to check the water hardness in your area.
Before it dispatched from the factory, every appliance is tested.
As a result, there may be some residual water left in the drain pump filter. This, however, does not a ect the quality and will not damage the appliance.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
POSITIONING THE WASHING MACHINE
The washing machine can be installed as a builtin (integrated) or a free-standing unit. Place the machine on a level surface so that the power outlet on the wall is accessible.
Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.
Built-in washing machine
The washing machine can be integrated under a worktop with a height of 900–950 mm. Leave 5 cm of room around the entire of the appliance, including between the back edge of the upper cover and the wall behind it.
Free-standing appliance
If you have a dryer of suitable dimensions (by another dryer manufacturer), use the vacuum feet to stack it on top of the washing machine, or place it next to it.

Ventilation Requirements of ASKO laundry concept or closet installation
ASKO's front panel controls make it possible to install the washers and dryers in a cabinet or closet.
Make sure there is clearance between appliances and cabinet or wall and 25 mm minimum clearance between the rear edge of the appliance top panel and the cabinet or wall.
When closet or cabinet is closed by the door, we recommend louvered doors, to ensure proper ventilation.
Otherwise there must be ventilation openings on the door. See illustration of dimension for ventilation openings below:

Ensure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.
The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer must not be blocked or covered. Doing so could cause a fault.
Disregarding of instructions influences on appliance performance and may also result in failure of the appliance.
ADJUSTING THE FEET
Place the washing machine so that it is stable.
1.Level the washing machine in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet (using a No. 32 spanner).
The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 cm.
2.When the appropriate height of feet is set, use the wrench No. 17 to firmly fasten the counter-nuts towards the bottom of the appliance 
.
3.Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) to the end position.
This will reduce washing machine noise, vibration, movement etc. to minimum.

MOVING THE WASHING MACHINE AND TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION
If you are moving the washing machine without packaging, open the washing machine door and pull the appliance by holding the washing assembly, as indicated in the figure.
For any further moving of the appliance, use the transport rods (the washing machine drum has to be blocked).
(See chapter TRANSPORT PROTECTION.)
CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY
The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person.
Use the water supply hose to connect the appliance. Water pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1 MPa (approximately 1–10 kp/cm2 , 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/ cm2).
If the hoses are newly installed, we recommend rinsing them to remove any impurities. Otherwise, these impurities could clog the filter in the water connection on the washing machine and thus cut o the water supply.
The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal.
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
If the connection on the supply hose is of di erent dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4” → 1/2”), use an adapter.
11
CONNECTING TO HOT/COLD WATER SUPPLY
(Only available in some models)
If your appliance has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold water connection and the other hose to the hot water connection, as indicated on the back of the appliance:
COLD = cold and HOT = hot.
Hot water is supplied for programs operating at 40 °C or more.
Connecting to both hot and cold water will save time and electric energy when washing.
If your washing machine model has connections for both hot and cold water, and you only wish to
connect cold water, then the protective cap has to be (or remain) attached to the hot water connection.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN HOSE
Upon delivery, the appliance has a drain hose attached. This drain hose must be connected to a drain. Drain hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to allow cleaning. The height of the drain
should be 600–900 mm above the floor. The lower position (600 mm) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not clipped or bent.

Drain hose can also be connected directly to the washbasin drain via a siphon. In this case, the hose, should be 600–900 mm above the floor. Internal hose diameter should be at least 18 mm.
See figure.
At least 18 mm

CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS
After installation, the washing machine should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
Connect the appliance to an earthed power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).

Information about your washing machine is indicated on the rating (type) plate.
Use the type A di erential current protection switch.
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a lightning strike.
The washing machine may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.

TIPS BEFORE WASHING
This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing.
LAUNDRY SORTING
Sort the laundry according to:
•how soiled it is,
•colour,
•material.
CLOTHING
1.Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric.
2.New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several times.
3.Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and colour fading.
4.Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
5.Empty the pockets and turn them inside out.
