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.
10 Customer Care Center
1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
Operating instructions
Warning!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury to persons, read the "Important Safety Instructions" section before operating this appliance.
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible tumble drying results.
1
Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying results if the items are made of the same type of material. Close zippers and fasten buttons or belts; sort the items and adjust load and temperature.
2
Turn on the main power switch.
3
Open the door, load the items, and then close the door
4
Select the program
You select a program by turning the program selector. The name of the selected program is highlighted and the program end time also appears on the display. Start the program by pressing the Start button, or press the button in the middle of the program selector to select Options.
Guidelines as to what specific programs can be used for.
Auto Heavy
This program is for items that are particularly difficult to dry.
Note!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to shrinkage.
Use the Auto Normal, Auto Delicate, or Auto Iron
Dry programs for these items. Stretch clothes back into shape immediately after drying.
Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
These programs shut off the heat once the load is dry but before it is "bone-dry". The Auto Normal program shuts off the heat slightly later than Auto
Delicate. Use trial and error to find out what works best. Use these programs when you want items to be completely dry.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts off the heat once the load is just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Jeans
Program for jeans and clothing with very thick seams. Delayed Start can be selected as an option.
Synthetic
Gentle program for synthetics. Delayed Start can be selected as an option.
Timed Dry
The program length you choose depends on what you intend to do with the items after drying them.
Use trial and error to find out what works best.
When you use Timed Dry to tumble dry a load of mixed fabrics, some of the garments may remain damp. Tumble dry any damp garments for a further 30 minutes or so using the Timed Dry program.
Note!
When using the Timed Dry program, garments can become "over-dry" if you have selected too long a drying time. This can cause the items to shrink or wrinkle and become rough. Synthetic materials can also become charged with static electricity.
Setting the time for the Air Fluff or Timed
Dry program
For the Air Fluff and Timed Dry programs, you set the number of minutes incrementally. The selected time is shown on the display. You can try out different drying times.

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.
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.
3. Open the filter and remove the lint from all sides of it by hand. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any deposits.
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 the Delayed Start option has not been selected. To cancel Delayed Start, press the Stop button for 3 seconds.
• 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).
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 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, by opening doors and/or windows, for example.
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 Overflow is shown in the display, the condenser drain hose could be blocked. Remove the hose from the drain and check for obstructions. The hose should be inserted no more than 5 or 6 inches into the wall drain.
• 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.

Installation instructions
WARNING!
WARNING - Risk of fire.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the applience manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
Save these instructions for future reference.
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.
Caution!
For proper ventilation, the machine should not be installed behind a door.
Caution!
The tumble dryer's toe kick ventilation must not be blocked by a rug or the like.
Tip!
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.
Caution!
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
A. Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the washing machine.
B. Stacked
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-tip devices) that come with the machine: You will find
2 foot cups in a bag in the drum and 2 anti-tip devices attached to the bottom left corner at the back of the machine. Extension plates can be ordered from your local retailer.

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).
Notes
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.

Installation instructions
How to assemble the stacking kit:
1. Undo the anti-tip device.
5. Fit the plastic cups so that the "tags" marked 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.
2. Remove the two screws indicated on the back of the washing machine.
6. Push out the knock-out hole on the back of the dryer (you don't have to completely remove the knockout, just fold it up far enough for the stacking bracket to fit inside the slot) using a hammer and screwdriver.
3. Secure the anti-tip device using the screws as shown in the picture.
7. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal brackets. At the same time, keep the front edge raised by 0,4" (10mm) to 0,8" (20mm).
4. 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.
8. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the plastic cups and adjust the dryer to ensure that it is balanced.

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.
