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

4
• 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 drye).
• 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 "SYSTEM SETTINGS", section Child Lock.

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).
