Important safety instructions
Grounding instructions
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,
cord-connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This appliance (Canadian
market only) is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician
or service representative or personnel if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the appliance (Canadian market only). If it will
not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
To reduce the risk of re, this appliance must
be exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do
not exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or
concealed space in a building.
B) Grounding instructions for a
permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
NOTE!
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.

Advice and tips before you tumble dry
Here are some tips that may help you before
you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000
rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energy
and reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material is
suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited
to tumble drying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth,
and synthetic bers. Garments will be softer and
lighter when tumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any signicant
wear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint lter
consists of dust and ber residues formed when
the items are used.
Materials that should not be tumble
dried
This symbol means that the material is not
suitable for tumble drying. Certain materials
may melt or become a re hazard if exposed to
heat and others can lose their shape or shrink.
And do not tumble dry
• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• berglass material.
• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.
Static electricity
To reduce the risk of static electricity in the
laundry after tumble drying, you can:
• Use fabric softener when washing.
• Wait ve minutes after the drying program
ends before opening the door and removing
the laundry from the dryer.
NOTE!
You can stop the tumble dryer by pressing the
Stop button for three seconds or by opening the
door. In both cases the program is stopped and
starts from the beginning if restarted.
If you do not want to restart the program,
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.

Guidelines as to what specic
programs can be used for:
Auto Heavy
Program with the maximum temperature. This
program is for items that are particularly dicult
to dry, such as jeans with very thick seams.

Troubleshooting
The machine will not start
Check:
• that the door is properly closed.
• that the main power switch is on.
• that any plug is connected.
• that the house fuses or circuit breaker have
not been tripped.
• that the overheating cut-out has not been
triggered.
The machine loses all power during a
program
The overheating cut-o shuts o the tumble
dryer if the temperature is too high, caused by
lint clogging the lint lter, for instance.
• Clean the lint lter.
• Check that the condenser is clean. Clean it
if necessary. See the Care and maintenance
instructions chapter.
• Wait until the machine has cooled, then try
starting it. If it still does not start: Call the
Customer Care Center.
Drying takes too long
• Check that the lint lter is not blocked. See
the Care and maintenance instructions
chapter.
• Check that the condenser is not blocked.
See the Care and maintenance instructions
chapter.
• Prolonged drying times may also be due to
the tumble dryer being located in a conned
area or in a room that is too small, causing
the air to become too hot.
• Make sure that the tumble dryer has access
to more cold air, open doors and/or windows,
for example.

Installation instructions
WARNING!
WARNING - Risk of re.
Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death,
follow all installation instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
Positioning the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer can be freestanding or
stacked. Remember that the tumble dryer
produces heat and should therefore not be
located in a room that is too small. If the room
is very small, drying will take longer due to the
limited quantity of air.
NOTE!
Do not install the machine in a room where
there is a risk of frost occurring. At temperatures
around freezing point the machine may not be
able to operate properly.
The room in which the appliance is installed
should be adequately ventilated, with
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
WARNING!
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed
by a qualied installer.
• For proper ventilation, the machine should
not be installed behind a door.
• The tumble dryer's toe kick ventilation must
not be blocked by a rug or the like.
NOTE!
If the unit must be installed behind a door, the
door should be louvered. (please see door
ventilation requirements in the Built-in chapter).
To improve ventilation, the door where the
tumble dryer is located should be left open
when the dryer is in use.
Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine.
Stacking
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of an
ASKO washing machine. Use the two foot cups
found in the document bag included with the
machine and the two tip guards attached to the
bottom of the back of the machine.
How to assemble the stacking kit:
1. Remove the two tip guards from the back of
the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that
held the tip guards in place.
2. Remove the two screws indicated on the
back of the washing machine.
