FOR A GOOD ENVIRONMENT
PACKAGING MATERIALS
The packaging that protects the drying cabinet
against damage in transit has been chosen
with concern for the environment in mind and
is therefore recyclable.
Packaging that is returned to the material
cycle means reduced consumption of raw
materials and a smaller volume of waste.

cycle means reduced consumption of raw

MANAGEMENT OF END-OF-LIFE
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the
end of its useful life, it must be taken to a
recycling centre for disposal. Many parts of
the drying cabinet can be re-used, but it also
contains other material that must be handled
correctly. You should therefore never leave
the drying cabinet or parts of the cabinet for
collection with household waste, as this may
lead to risks to health and cause damage to
the environment.
The end-of-life drying cabinet should instead
be taken to a recycling centre. Check with
your dealer if necessary.
All the plastic parts of the drying cabinet are
marked with internationally standardised
symbols. The parts of the drying cabinet can
therefore be recycled in an environmentally
sound manner by waste separation.

REHANGING OF DOOR
The pictures below illustrate rehanging from right-hung door to left-hung.
Rehanging kit
For rehanging, a rehanging kit must be ordered from the supplier of the cabinet. The kit
consists of a new upper hinge, as the left and right hinges are not interchangeable. The kit
also includes a control cable for fitting in the door with associated hinge bushing.
1Remove the cover in the top of the
drying cabinet. This is attached with
five screws at the marking arrows.
2Remove the protective
cover (1) of the upper hinge
and release the control
cable (2).
3Separate the control cable
from the fan unit with the
quick connector (3) and
pull the cable through the
hole (4).
Lay the cabinet down carefully on its back.

___________________________________________
Do not place the drying cabinet in an area where
high-pressure washing is used for cleaning.

The drying cabinet must be level on a flat
surface, resting on all four feet.
Use the Allen key supplied and adjust the feet
through the holes in the baseplate of the drying
cabinet.
Press the four covering plugs firmly into the
holes after adjustment.
The cabinet must be attached to a wall to
prevent tipping over.
1Open the door, pull out the upper hanging
section and drill 8 mm holes in the wall
through the two pre-drilled holes in the
rear of the drying cabinet (1).
2Fit the plastic plugs in the wall (if neces-
sary). Fit the screw with the flat washer as
illustrated.
Cover the holes with the cover plugs.
Screws for fixing, washers and plastic plugs
are provided in the assembly kit.

EVACUATION / AIR SUPPLY
When the cabinet is on, 45 m3moist air per hour is evacuated. It must therefore be ensured that
air can enter the room to replace the moist air that is vented out.
CONNECTION TO EVACUATION
The drying cabinet can be connected to the evacuation duct in two ways, either with a draft
stabiliser or permanently fitted to a mechanical exhaust ventilation unit.
If the drying cabinet is to be connected to an existing ventilation system, a draft stabiliser must
always be used, so that the general ventilation in the room is not affected.
Permanent fitting must only be carried out when a separate exhaust-air duct is routed to the
drying cabinet, the air flow in the exhaust-air duct being adjusted to 45 m3per hour.
The drying cabinet has been tested and factory-set for connection with a draft stabiliser.
Place the supplied spigot over the hole
on the top of the cabinet, insert the
screws and secure the spigot.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
___________________________________
The drying cabinet should be connected to
an earthed wall socket using the connecting
cable supplied and must not be permanently
wired.
___________________________________
___________________________________
The socket should be located so that the
plug can be easily pulled out if necessary.
___________________________________
___________________________________
Check that the supply current matches the
data on the rating plate and that the mains
lead is earthed correctly according to current
standard. We recommend that the power
cord be fitted with a residual current de-
vice (RCD).
___________________________________
___________________________________
The drying cabinet must be connected to a
dedicated circuit.
______________________________________
______________________________________
Do not connect the drying cabinet to the
power supply with an extension lead as the
necessary safety cannot be guaranteed (risk
of overheating).
______________________________________
___________________________________
The manufacturer disclaims all liability if the
electrical connection has not been carried
out in the way described in this use and
care manual.
______________________________________
The drying cabinet is connected to a 230 V single-phase 50-60 Hz and protectively earthed
wall socket.
Fuse 10 A.
The drying cabinet is supplied ready for connection with a cable and an earthed plug.
____________________________
CAUTION
A damaged connecting cable may only
be replaced with a special connecting
cable of the same type (can be ordered
from Asko’s spare parts department). For
safety reasons, the replacement may be
carried out only by a qualified electrician
or by Asko Service.
