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
manufacturer'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 enable
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 standardised
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 drying cabinet 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 required. 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, making the drying
process even more efficient.

borne in mind if the drying cabinet is
built in.
The floor where the cabinet is located
must withstand a weight of around 95
kg.
The floor must be level with a max
drop of 2.5 cm under the cabinet.

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 togeth-
er 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 interchangeable. The kit
also includes a control cable for fitting in the door with associated hinge bushing.
Lay the cabinet down carefully on
its back.

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 sufficiently
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.
