Safety instructions
To minimize the risk of re in a tumble
dryer, the following should be observed:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
re hazard and should not be placed in a
tumble dryer.Oil-aected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation
creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the
items can become hot enough to catch re.
Piling, stacking or storing oil-aected items
can prevent heat from escaping and so
create a re hazard. If it is unavoidable that
fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should rst be washed in hot water with
extra detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard. The ’cool down’ cycle
of tumble dryers should be used to reduce
the temperature of the items. They should not
be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or
stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
ammable or explosive substances should
not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly
ammable substances commonly used in
domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene,
spot removers (some brands), turpentine,
waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known
as latex foam) or similarly textured rubberlike
materials should not be dried in a tumble
dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber
materials can, when heated, produce re by
spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should
not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the eects of static electricity unless this
practice is specically recommended by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
• Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed in a
tumbledryer. Damage to the tumble dryer
can result if metal reinforcements come
loose during drying. When available a drying
rack could be used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or
babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not
be placed in a tumble dryer. Rubber-backed
articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads,
pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated tennis
shoes should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
Vented dryers
• There has to be adequate ventilation to avoid
the back ow of gases into the room from
appliances burning other fuels, including
open res, when operating the tumble dryer.
• The exhaust air must not be discharged into
a ue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
CAUTION!
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed
through ducts used for equipment that burns
gas or other fuels.

General
WARNING!
Do not allow children to play with the
tumble dryer.
• If the door is opened when a program is
running the garments may be very hot, with a
risk of burn injuries.
• The tumble dryer does not start automatically
when the door is closed (if a child pulls the
door shut from the inside, for example).

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 bres. 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 that collects in the lint
lter consists of dust and bre residues formed
when the items are used.
Materials that must 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 labelled "Do not dry near heat".
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• plastic foam.
• breglass material.
• wool because of the risk of felting.
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 then
immediately remove all laundry and spread it
out to allow the heat to dissipate.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible tumble-drying results.
1Sort your fabrics
You will achieve the most uniform drying
results if the items are made of the same
type of material. Do up zips and buttons, fasten
belts, sort the items and adjust the load and
temperature.
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying
results and wrinkling.
2Press the main power switch
until the display lights.
NOTE:
Power on
Press the on/o button for min. 1 sec and max.
5 sec.
Power o
Press the on/o button for min. 5 sec.
If the ON/OFF command is not correctly
accepted by the machine, wait min. 8 sec before
any further press.
3Open the door, load the items
and then close the door
Make sure that objects e.g. detergent
dispensing balls, have been removed from the
laundry. They could melt and cause damage to
the dryer or the laundry.
To save energy, always observe the maximum
load for each program (see Program chart).
Tumble drying

4Select the program
Tumble drying
Guidelines as to what specic
programs can be used for:
Auto extra dry
This program is for items that are particularly
dicult to dry, e.g. jeans with very thick seams.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to
shrinkage. Use the Auto dry, Auto normal dry or
Auto Iron dry programs for these items. Stretch
clothes back into shape immediately after
drying.
Auto dry and Auto normal dry
These programs end automatically when the
load is dry. The Auto dry program gives slightly
drier laundry than Auto normal dry.
Auto Iron dry
This program shuts o the heat once the load is
just damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Timed dry
The most suitable program time depends
on what you intend to do with the items after
tumble-drying them. Use trial and error to nd
out what works best. When you use Timed dry
to tumble-dry a load of mixed fabrics, some of
the garments may remain damp. Tumble-dry
any damp garments for a further 30 minutes or
so using the Timed dry program.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 30
minutes and 3 hours can be selected and each
button press changes the time by 15 minutes.
NOTE!
When using the Timed dry program with a
program time that is too long, the garments
can become “over-dry”. This can cause items
to shrink or crease and feel rough to the touch.
Synthetic materials can also become charged
with static electricity.
Revitalise
Use the Air u program when you just want to
refresh, air or soften up items.
Select the desired time by pressing the Delayed
Start button. A program time between 15
minutes and 3 hours can be selected and each
button press changes the time by 15 minutes.
Select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights next to the selected program. Use the
option buttons to select any options.

14
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the lint lter
The lint lter must be cleaned after each load.
1. Lift the lter from the holder in the door.
2. Open the lint lter. Use your thumb to press
on the edge as illustrated and pull it out.
3. Use your hand or a soft cloth to remove the
lint from all sides of the lter. If necessary,
use a damp sponge and a small amount of
washing-up liquid to remove any deposits.
Dry the lter thoroughly with a towel.
NOTE!
Clean the surface of the lint (u) lter after
each drying program.
4. Close the lint lter and put it back in the door.
Close the lint lter before closing the door.

15
Care and cleaning
Emptying the condensed water
container
If you have not connected the machine to a
separate drain the condensed water container
must be emptied after each load. Remove the
condensed water container, empty out the water
and replace the container.
If the condensed water container becomes too
full, the program is interrupted and F10 is shown
in the display. Empty the container and press
the Start button to restart the program.
For connection to a separate drain, see the
installation instructions in the set of documents.
NOTE!
The dryer must not be used without the
condenser unit in place.
Cleaning the evaporator lter and
evaporator
The evaporator lter (A+B) should be cleaned
after every 10 uses of the machine and the
evaporator (C) when necessary.
1. Turn o the Main power switch and open the
outer door.
2. Remove the plinth.
3. Open the evaporator door.
4. Pull out the lter by grasping the “handle” in
the middle.

16
Care and cleaning
5. Wipe the net lter (A). Brush the lint from the
lter with your hand. Use a soft, dry cloth to
remove any deposits.
6. Remove the foam lter (B) found behind
the net lter. Wash the foam lter in a
washing machine using a rinse or quick
wash program. No detergent or hot wash is
necessary. The lint is washed away and the
lter is not damaged.
7. Clean the evaporator (C) by spraying water
on the ribs with a plant spray bottle.The lint
runs o together with the water, which is then
evacuated by the condensed water pump.
8. Replace both lters and close the evaporator
door.
NOTE!
Avoid touching the ribs on the evaporator.
They are very thin and easily damaged. If the
ribs are bent or damaged, the eciency of the
condenser is greatly impaired, as is the drying
result.
NOTE!
Clean the lters after each drying.
Do not replace the lters if they are damp or
wet. Damp or wet lters could cause operational
faults.
NOTE!
The dryer should never be operated without
the lters in place, or with damaged lters as
excessive amount of accumulated bres from
the fabric could cause malfunction or failure of
the dryer.
Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
solvents, as these can damage the machine. Do
not hose down or spray the machine with water.
NOTE!
Do not allow dust to accumulate around the
machine. Keep the area around the tumble
dryer clean and cool; dust, heat and moisture
prolong drying times.

Installation
WARNING!
Do not start the machine until it has been in
position for 24 hours. If for some reason the
tumble dryer needs to be laid down for transport
or service, it must be laid on its left side viewed
from the front.
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.
Positioning the tumble dryer
The tumble dryer can be free-standing or
in a stack. 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.
WARNING!
• Any electrical installation must be carried out
by qualied professionals.
• The machine must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with
hinges on the opposite side to those of the
tumble dryer.
• The tumble dryer's plinth ventilation must not
be blocked by a rug or the like.
NOTE!
To improve ventilation, leave the door to the
room where the tumble dryer is located open.
Freestanding
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside the
washing machine.
Stacking
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of a
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 left corner of the back of the machine.
How to assemble the stack:
1 Remove the two tip guards from the back of
the tumble dryer. Replace the screws that
held the tip guards in place.
2. Undo the two screws indicated on the back
of the washing machine.
3. Secure the anti-tilt device using the screws
as shown in the picture.
