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 fibres. Garments
will be softer and lighter when tumbled than when hung
out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significant wear
on fabrics. The lint that collects in the lint filter consists
of dust and fibre 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 fire 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.
• fibreglass material.
• wool must not be tumble-dried 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 five 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 programme is stopped and starts from
the beginning if restarted. If you do not want to restart
the programme then immediately remove all laundry
and spread it out to allow the heat to dissipate.

TUMBLE DRYING
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury to
persons, read the”Important Safety Instructions”
section before operating this appliance.
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve
the best possible tumble-drying results.
SORT 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.
NOTE!
Do not overload the drum!
Overloading the dryer will result in poor drying results
and wrinkling.
Press the main power switch until the display lights.
Open the door, load the items and then close the door.
NOTE!
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.
NOTE!
To save energy, always observe the maximum load for
each programme (see Program chart)
Guidelines as to what specific programmes can be used
for:
Auto Heavy
Program with the maximum temperature. This program
is for items that are particularly difficult to dry.
NOTE!
Knitted fabrics in particular are prone to shrinkage.
Use the Auto Normal, Auto Delicate, or Auto Iron Dry
programs for these items. Stretch clothes back into
shape immediately after drying.
Auto Normal and Auto Delicate
These programs end automatically when the load is dry.
The Auto Normal program leaves the laundry slightly
more dry than Auto Delicate.
Auto Iron Dry
This program shuts offthe heat once the load is just
damp enough for ironing or pressing.
Jeans
Program for jeans and clothing with very thick seams.
Synthetic
Gentle program for synthetics.
Terry cloth
Program intended for large and small loads of thick terry
cloth, such as towels and bathrobes.
Down
Gentle program that dries down items completely. Can
be used to dry up to three pillows or one quilt.
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 find 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
Select a programme by turning the programme selector. The selected programme is shown in the display window. Use

WARNING !
Risk of fire.
Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is
installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the
applience manufacturer that is UL approved for use
with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint.
These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow
and increase the risk of fire.
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
qualified 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 a ASKO
washing machine. In this case you use the stacking
attachments (foot cups and anti-tilt devices) that come
with the machine. Two rubber feet and two anti-tipping
brackets are supplied in the bag found in the drum of the
dryer.
How to assemble the stack:
1. Undo the screw on the back of the ASKO washing
machine as shown in the figure.
2. Secure the anti-tilt device using the screws as shown
in the picture.
3. Take the other anti-tipping bracket from the bag and
attach it on the dryer with two screws as shown in the
figure.

INSTALLATION
4. Place the two rubber feet on the front feet of the
dryer.
5. Fasten or undo the rear feet of the appliance until
it is fully level, either on the floor or on the washing
machine.
6. Slide the dryer backward until it reaches the anti-
tipping bracket. Make sure the front of the appliance
is raised by 50 to 150 mm as you slide it back.
Adjusting the feet
Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble dryer is steady
and balanced on the floor or on the washing machine.

ASKO dryers can be installed beneath a cabinet or
worktop with a minimum height of 34” (864 mm). There
must be a gap of about 1/2” (12 mm) all around the
machine, including between the rear side of the machine
and the back wall. The opening width must be at least
24-1/2” (622 mm).
NOTE!
The height adjustment for the dryer is 33-1/2” to 34-
1/2” (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise it higher than
34-1/2” (876 mm). Hole measurements are from center
of hole.
INSTALL IN A CLOSET
ASKO's front panel controls make it possible to install
the washers and dryers in a closet. Make sure there
is a ½” (12 mm) minimum clearance between units
and cabinet or wall. To ensure proper ventilation, we
recommend louvered doors.
Otherwise there must be ventilation openings in the
door. See illustration for minimum ventilation openings:
NOTE!
Ensure the dryer door can be opened without
hindrance after installation.
NOTE!
The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer must
not be blocked or covered. Doing so could cause a
fault.
