IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Applicable to installation in the EU
 The drying cabinet can be used by children over the age of
8 and persons (including children) with various disabilities or
inadequate experience and knowledge, provided they are kept
under supervision or are given instructions on how to use the
appliance in a safe way and understand the risks that use entails.
Children must not play with the appliance.
Applicable to installation in countries outside the EU
 The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with various disabilities or inadequate experience and knowledge.
They may use the appliance only under supervision or if they have
received instructions on how to use the appliance form a person
who is responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Applicable to all installation
The drying cabinet must be installed and kept indoors.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be immediately replaced,
and this must be done only by the manufacturer, the manufac-
turer's service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
prevent danger.
Follow ASKO instructions in repair and replacement of parts.
This drying cabinet meets applicable safety requirements. Incorrect use
may, however, lead to injuries and damage to objects.
The advice and caution notices in this manual have been written to ena-
ble you to avoid incorrect use and unnecessary risks of accidents, and
should be read before installing and using the drying cabinet.
CAUTION: This equipment is intended only to be used to dry fabrics
washed in water.

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.
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 materials 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 stand-
ardised symbols. The parts of the drying
cabinet can therefore be recycled in an
environmentally sound manner by waste
separation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYING CABINET
The ASKO DC7784HP and DC7794HP dry-
ing cabinets operate according to the heat
pump principle with a dehumidifier instead
of a conventional hot-air unit. As a result,
the washing is dried at lower heat and with
substantially lower energy consumption.
The cabinet is a completely enclosed
system. No exhaust-air connection is re-
quired. The moisture condenses during
the process, and the water that is formed
is conveyed to a detachable water tank, or
through a hose to the drain.
In addition, the fan is so powerful that it
causes the items of clothing to flutter, mak-
ing the drying process even more efficient.

PLACEMENT
There must be an earthed socket
within a distance of 2 m from the
lower part of the drying cabinet.
The drying cabinet has a 2 m long
earthed lead with a plug connect-
ed at the bottom. The power socket
should be located such that there
is no need for an extension cable.
It must be possible to reach the
socket easily after the drying cab-
inet has been installed. This must
also be borne in mind if the drying
cabinet is built in.
The floor where the cabinet is lo-
cated must withstand a weight of
around 95 kg.
The floor must be level with a max
drop of 2.5 cm under the cabinet.
The drying cabinet is intended
only for installation indoors with a
temperature above 15°C.
The drying cabinet must not be
placed in an environment in which
high-pressure water is used for
cleaning.

REHANGING OF DOOR
1Detach the two screws holding the outer
roof. The screws are located beneath
the blind plugs (1). as illustrated, and
remove the roof.
2Remove the protective cover (2) on the
upper hinge and separate the door cable
(3) from the connector (4). Thread the
cable through the hole in the chassis
and stretch out the cable.
3Remove the upper hinge and release
the cable from the hinge. The hinge has
a slot through which the cable can be
threaded. See illustration.
Release the door from the hinge and to-
gether with the control cable lay it aside.
4Fit the new replacement hinge, which
is included in the rehanging kit, on the
opposite side. Use the same screws as
previously.
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 interchange-
able. The kit also includes a control cable for fitting in the door with associated
hinge bushing.
Lay the cabinet down carefully on
its back.
_______________________________
NB
Before placing the cabinet on its back, take
out and empty the water tank.

NB
Wait at least 1 hour before using the
cabinet again. This is to allow time for the
oil in the compressor to flow back. The
compressor may otherwise be damaged.

CAUTION
The drying cabinet must not be used
without being secured to a wall owing to
the risk of tipping over forward.

CONDENSATION WATER
Condensation water may be removed in two ways, collected in a detachable
water tank or via a hose to the floor drain.
DETACHABLE WATER TANK
_____________________________
NB
The water tank is designed to be suffi-
ciently large for a complete wash by a
comfortable margin. But make a habit of
always emptying the water tank before
each drying operation.
____________________________________

1Carefully pull the upper part of the hose
out around 2 - 3 cm.
2Trim the hose in the middle of the opening.
3 Install the new drain hose with the nipple
supplied in the assembly kit as illustrated.
Push the hose on without hose clips.
4 Position the drain hose in one of the
recesses in the sheet metal so that
there is no risk of the hose being
crushed.
CONNECTION TO FLOOR DRAIN
The drying cabinet is supplied from the factory with a hose to the detachable water tank.
To change to removal of condensation water to the floor drain, proceed as follows:

5Route the drain hose to the drain.
6 If the drain is higher than the outlet on the cabinet, make sure that the hose runs to the
floor in an arc and forms a trap. There is otherwise a risk of the condensation water
flowing back to the tray when the pump is not working. This may cause the tray to be
filled with water and the cabinet to stop working.
RECONNECTION TO WATER TANK
If you wish to reconnect the condensation water to the water tank, all you need to do is
to connect the two hoses together again with the nipple.
_____________________________
NB
Do not under any circumstances bend
the hose so that water flow is prevented.
