WARNING!

WARNING - Risk of ﬁre.

Install the clothes dryer according to the

manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

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.

NOTE!

Do not install the machine in a room where

there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures

around freezing point the machine may not be

able to operate properly.

The room in which the appliance is installed

should be adequately ventilated, with

temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

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, the

door should be louvered. (please see door

ventilation requirements in the Built-in chapter).

To improve ventilation, the door where the

tumble dryer is located should be left open

when the dryer is in use.

Freestanding

The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the

washing machine.

Stacking

The tumble dryer can be placed on top of an

ASKO washing machine. Use the two foot cups

found in the document bag included with the

machine and the two tip guards attached to the

bottom of the back of the machine.

How to assemble the stacking kit:

1. Remove the two tip guards from the back of

the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that

held the tip guards in place.

2. Remove the two screws indicated on the

back of the washing machine.

3. Secure the anti-tip device using the screws

as shown in the picture.

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

tumble dryer is correctly positioned on the

washing machine. Break oﬀtab 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.

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 oﬀthe remaining tabs.

6. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal

brackets. At the same time keep the front

edge raised by 7/16" (10mm) to 7/8" (20mm) .

7. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into the

plastic cups and adjust the tumble dryer to

ensure it is level.

Adjusting the feet

Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer

is both stable and level.

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 and a minimum gap of 1"

(25 mm) 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).

NOTE!

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).

NOTE!

It is very important to avoid a buildup of heat.

The warm air which is expelled from the rear of

the dryer must be able to dissipate.

Warm air which cannot dissipate could cause a

fault.

A buildup of heat could be avoided by:

• Creating a gap for the dryer in the kitchen

furniture plinth facing.

• Creating ventilation gaps in the kitchen unit.

When build under, drying times may be longer.

NOTE!

The dryer should not be installed next to a

refrigeration appliance. The warm air expelled

from the rear of the dryer would increase the

temperature around the refrigeration appliance

heat exchanger causing the compressor to

run continuously. If it is not possible to install

the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigeration

appliance must be sealed oﬀfrom the dryer.

Installation instructions

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” (12 mm) minimum

clearance between units and cabinet or wall

and a 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance between

the rear edge of the machine top panel and the

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:

NOTE!

Ensure the dryer door can be opened without

hindrance after installation.

NOTE!

The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer

must not be blocked or covered. Doing so could

cause a fault.

Condensed water

Install the dryer so the condensed water will

continuously ﬂow into a drain or sink. To do this,

follow the instructions below:

1 Connect the rubber hose supplied with the

dryer to the blue nipple.

2. Run the hose to a drain or sink, as illustrated.

NOTE!

The drain hose must not be more than 40”

(100 cm) above the ﬂoor.

NOTE!

• Do not pull on the drain hose and do not

stretch it or allow it to become kinked as it

could get damaged.

• Secure the hose carefully (e.g. by trying it to

a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use).

Otherwise there is a risk of overﬂowing water

which could cause damage.

WARNING!

If the tumble dryer is to be connected to a

drainage system already in use by another

appliance it is essential to ﬁt a non-return valve.

The non-return valve will prevent the risk of

back-ﬂow into the dryer which could cause

damage.

Electrical installation

WARNING!

The receptacle on the rear of the machine is

designed to accommodate ASKO washers

ONLY (rated 208–240 V.) To use this receptacle,

you must use the ready-ﬁtted plug supplied with

the washing machine or an equivalent.

ASKO washers rated 208–240 V have two

internal fuses of 15 A each.

The machine should only be connected to a

grounded wall socket.

WARNING!

This appliance must be properly grounded.

Refer to the “Important Safety Instructions” for

grounding instructions.

The power supply cord must be grounded. If the

machine is to be used in a wet area, the supply

must be protected by a residual current device.

Connection to a permanently wired supply point

must be made only by a qualiﬁed electrician.

As supplied: Single-phase, 230 V, 60 Hz,

3000W heater rating 30 A circuit required.

NOTE!

Do not connect the machine to the mains

electricity supply by an extension lead.

Remove cover to access

teminal box. (Requires- Torx

screwdriver.)

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 appliance is installed in a location where

grounding through the neutral conductor is

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 conductors. 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.
