INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

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.
At least two persons are required to install the
tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long
fibres as this may impede air circulation.
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 .

Stacking on top of a washing machine
To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use
the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B),
supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum.
Tipping guard part B is designed to fit on ASKO
washing machines and it may be hard or impossible
to mount on appliances of other brands. If the
washing machine and dryer are not of matching
dimensions or if you have installed a hidden helper
between the two appliances, then binding plates
are available as optional accessories at the service
center (… available only for HH (acessory Hidden
Helpers)and TD75 stacked on top of WM80 or
WM85; not intended for any other combinations).

DRAINING THE CONDENSATE
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank.
Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").
To simplified and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank, run the
condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

(A).

2Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A).
Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the
hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use.
The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin
siphon (C) or directly into the floor drain (D).
Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a
siphon, or a floor drain.
Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not
under tension, clamped, or bent.
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is
securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected damage.
Always use hoses that are supplied with the appliance.
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve
must be installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents
such flow.

included in the set of documents.
CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS
After installation, the dryer should stand still for
two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
Connect the appliance to a grounded 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).
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 readyfitted plug supplied with the washing
machine or anequivalent. 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.
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.
