Advice and tips before you tumble dry
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.

Care and maintenance instructions
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.
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.
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 you cannot remove the limescale,
you can buy a new filter from the retailer where
you bought the tumble dryer.

Troubleshooting
The machine will not start
Check
•
that the door is properly closed.
•
that the main power switch is on.
•
that any plug is connected.
•
that the fuses (circuit breakers) in your house
are intact. Flip the dryer breaker off and then
back on to make sure. You can not always tell
from the outside if the circuit breaker has
tripped.
•
that the overheating cut-off has not been
triggered (see below).
•
that the lint filter is in place and is clean.
Overheating cut-off
The overheating cut-off shuts off the tumble dryer
if the temperature is too high, caused by lint
clogging the lint filter, for instance.
•
Clean the lint filter.
•
Check that the condenser is clean. Clean it if
necessary. See the "Care and cleaning"
chapter.
•
The overheating cut-off will reset automatically
once the machine has cooled down.
Drying takes too long
•
Check that the lint filter and the condenser are
not blocked. See the "Care and maintenance"
chapter.
•
Prolonged drying times may also be due to the
tumble dryer being located in a confined space
or room that is too small, causing the air to
become too hot.
•
Make sure that the tumble dryer has access
to more cold air, open doors and/or windows.
The laundry does not dry, or is too dry
•
The door has been opened while the program
is running, which disrupts the moisture
monitoring function.
Error messages
•
If "Max Program Time" appears on the display,
the maximum program time has been reached.
Read "Drying takes too long" in the
"Troubleshooting" chapter to find out what to
do.
•
If "Clean lint filter" appears on the display,
clean the lint filter.
•
If "Clean condenser" appears on the display.
See the "Cleaning the condenser" section of
the "Care and cleaning" chapter for remedy
•
Press the Stop button to close error messages.

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.
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.

Installation instructions
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).
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:
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.

Attach the plastic cups for mounting the tumble
dryer’s front feet to the washing machine’s top
cover. This is essential, as only when the
tumble dryer’s feet are resting in the plastic
cups can you be sure that the dryer is correctly
positioned on the washing machine.
Break off tab A on the cup fitted on the right
side and tab B on the cup fitted on the left side.
Then remove the paper from the self-adhesive
surface under the plastic cups.

with arrows are against the front edge or side
edge of the cover and press them firmly onto
the cover. Then break off the remaining tabs.
8.
Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the
plastic cups and adjust the dryer to ensure that
it is balanced.
Adjusting the feet
Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer
is steady and balanced on the floor or on the
washing machine if stacking. Then tighten the
lock nuts.

Installation instructions
Electrical Connections
WARNING!
Read the Electrical requirements and grounding
instructions before connecting the tumble dryer.
Electric models of the dryer are manufactured for
a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame is
grounded by a link to the neutral conductor on the
dryer terminal block. If local codes do not permit
grounding through the neutral, the grounding link
from the terminal block must be removed and a
separate ground wire must be used.
Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the
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.
4-wire connection.
Each of the above connections can be made with
an approved power supply cord or by direct wiring.
Each connection instruction identifies the
appropriate Power Supply Cord and covers
requirements for direct wiring.
NOTE!
In Canada, the dryer is delivered ready-fitted
with a four-prong plug intended for connection
to a single-phase supply.
