TABLE OF CONTENTS

GENERAL

Please read the instruction manual and save it for future reference.

• Please do not use the tumble dryer if you have not read and

understood these instructions or use ﬁrst.

• Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate use of the tumble

dryer may result in damage to the laundry or appliance, or injury to the user.

• Instructions for use are available on our website at www.asko.com.

• Your dryer is intended solely for household use.

• Before connecting the dryer to the power mains, please read carefully the

instructions for use that describe the dryer and its correct and safe use. The

instructions apply to several appliance types or models; thus, settings or

equipment may be described herein which is not available in your dryer.

• Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the dryer to an expert. Unprofessional

repair may result in an accident or major malfunction.

• After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is

connected to the power mains.

• At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a

washing machine.

• The dryer shall not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.

• Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended for an

electric shaver or hair dryer.

• If the power cord is damaged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer,

an authorized service technician, or a similarly qualiﬁed person, in order to

avoid any hazards.

• The appliance shall not be supplied through an external switching device,

such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and oﬀ

by a utility.

• After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord from the power

outlet.

• In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or servicing by an

unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost of any damage.

• Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust particles.

The air where the dryer is installed should be thoroughly ventilated to prevent

reverse ﬂow of gases released from the gas appliances with open ﬁre (e.g.

ﬁreplaces).

• Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for appliances

or devices that use natural gas or other fuels for their operation (only applies

to the evacuation dryer).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.

• Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives, stain removers,

turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be washed in a washing machine

with hot water and detergent before it is dried in the dryer.

• Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and bathing caps, and

laundry or covers with rubber foam shall not be dried in the dryer.

• Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance with

manufacturer's instructions.

• Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge

on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that

the door can always be freely opened.

• Never block the air vents.

• Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long ﬁbres as this may impede air

circulation.

• The air in the room where the dryer is installed may not contain dust

particles.

• Make sure the ﬁbres do not accumulate around the dryer.

• Remove all objects such as lighters and matches from the pockets.

• After installation, wait for 24 hours before using the appliance. If the dryer

has to be laid down on one of the sides during transport or servicing, place it

with its left side, viewing from the appliance front, downwards (only applies to

dryers with a heat pump).

• The appliance shall not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.

• If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another

appliance, a non-return valve must be installed. Reverse ﬂow into the dryer

could damage the appliance, and the non-return valve prevents such reverse

ﬂow (only applies to the evacuation dryer).

• A ﬂoat will switch oﬀthe appliance if the condensed water pipe is clogged

or if there is a risk of overﬂowing of the condensed water accumulated in the

condensed water tank (only applies to the evacuation dryer).

• If you wish to move the dryer or store it in a non-heated room during winter, it

is essential that you ﬁrst empty the condensed water tank (only applies to the

condenser dryers and dryers with a heat pump).

• Maximum drying capacity in kg (for the Cotton program) is indicated on the

rating plate.

SAFETY

• Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with water. Do not

dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned with ﬂammable cleaners or

substances (such as gasoline, trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an

explosion.

• If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or chemical

substances, do not dry them in the dryer.

• If the air exhaust hose is connected to an opening in the wall, inﬂux of

cool air may be prevented by installing a ventilation grille. (Only applies to

evacuation dryer.) .

• The air exhaust hose shall not be connected to an active chimney used to

evacuate smoke or waste gases; into a shaft intended for ventilating rooms

with combustion equipment; or into a chimney used by third parties. If smoke

or waste gases return to the room where the dryer is installed, there is a

danger of poisoning (only applies to evacuation dryer).

• The dryer is protected with an automatic switch-oﬀsystem in case of

overheating. The system switches oﬀthe heater if the temperature is too high

(only applies to evacuation and condenser dryer).

• If the net ﬁlter is clogged, the automatic heater switch-oﬀdevice can be

triggered. See chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" (only applies to

evacuation and condenser dryer).

• WARNING! The back of the dryer may get very hot during

operation. Wait for the dryer to cool down completely before

touching its back side. (Observe the instructions in the chapter

"INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION")

• Never stop a drying cycle or do not open the door before the end of the

program. If you do so for any reason, be careful when taking the laundry from

the drum as it can still be very hot and there is a risk of burning.

Quickly remove the laundry from the drum and spread it to allow it to cool

down as quickly as possible.

CHILD SAFETY

• Do not allow the children to play with the dryer.

• Prevent your children and pets to enter the dryer drum.

• Before closing the dryer door and running the program, make sure there is

nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the dryer drum

and closed the door from the inside).

• Activate the child lock.

See chapter "SETTINGS", section Child Lock.

• Do not let children younger than three years to come near the dryer,

unless they are under constant supervision.

• The dryer is made in compliance with all relevant safety standards. This

PACKAGING

Remove all packaging.

Please sort the materials in compliance with local recommendations (see chapter "DISPOSAL").

CLEANING

Disconnect the dryer from the power mains and open the door towards you. Before using the dryer for the ﬁrst

time, clean the dryer drum using a soft damp cotton cloth and water.

No program can be started while the door is open.

CHOOSING THE LANGUAGE

When the dryer is connected (see chapter "INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION") and switched on for the

ﬁrst time, choose the preferred language:

1. Use the program selector knob or buttons to scroll the list of languages.

2. Conﬁrm the selection by pressing the "Set" button.

For further drying process, see chapter "DRYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1–7)".

STEAM PROGRAMS

If you select one of the steam programs as the ﬁrst program to be run with your dryer, ﬁrst add distilled water

to the steam generator tank (min.=0,3 l; max.=1,5 l); the dryer needs the distilled water to generate steam.

If the steam generator tank is empty, none of the steam programs will be available.

"LOW" will be indicated on the display (empty steam generator tank). As you use your dryer, the system will

be ﬁlled automatically with condensed water extracted during the drying process.

Only use distilled water. Use of regular tap water or any additives is forbidden. Limescale may damage

the heater. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.

Only add distilled water when the appliance is switched on and one of the steam programs is selected

(but before you start the program). Otherwise, the level sensor will not operate and water may overﬂow to the

dryer interior.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

1Remove the condensate tank

2Slowly add distilled water to the steam generator

tank filter.

By pouring the water slowly, you will prevent the water from ﬂowing down the front wall of the appliance.

Steam generator tank is not visible as it is located in the dryer interior; only the steam generator tank ﬁlter is

visible.

When the steam generator tank is full, ”HIGH” will be displayed on the screen and an acoustic alarm will

be emitted.

If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, the steam program will

run normally, without manual adding distilled water into dryer.

When you run the dryer for the ﬁrst time, or if the dryer has been out of use for a long time, slight hitting

noise may appear. This is normal and it will disappear after a few drying cycles.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

After installation, wait for 24 hours without

moving the appliance before using it for the ﬁrst time.

If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides

during transport or servicing, place it with its left

side, viewing from the appliance front, downwards.

DRYER PLACEMENT

The dryer can be either free standing or installed on

top of a washing machine.

The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in

a very small room, as the drying process may be

longer due to limited amount of ambient air.

Do not place the dryer in a room where

temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine

may not operate correctly at such low temperatures,

or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the

machine.

For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with

adequate ventilation and a temperature between

10 °C and 25 °C.

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding

door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the

dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that

the door can always be freely opened.

Never block the air vents.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long

ﬁbres as this may impede air circulation.

If the appliance is installed on a plinth or a

similar structure, then the appliance must be ﬁxed to

it, to avoid the risk of falling.

ASKO original accessories are available for this

purpose, complete with ﬁxing instructions.

Free-standing appliance

The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing

machine.

If the friction between the dryer feet and the ﬂoor is

not suﬃcient, the dryer may move during operation.

To prevent sliding, use a non-slide mat or install the

supplied vacuum feet onto both front feet.

Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit

level to level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse

direction by rotating the adjustable feet using a No.

22 spanner (max. 15 mm). Then, ﬁrmly tighten the

jam nuts (counter nuts) by rotating them towards the

appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner .
