Economy – Extends the main wash time by 22 minutes. When used with low wash
temperatures (85°–100° F), this program conserves energy but gives the same high level of
cleaning. Note: You can only use this option with programs 1, 2, and 3.
E2
Reduces the spin speed from 1000 rpm to 800 rpm.

DETERGENT DRAWER
THE DETERGENT DRAWER
The detergent drawer on ASKO washers automatically dispenses the detergent and fabric softener at
theappropriatetimes.The drawer is located to the left of the control panel. Simply pull the drawer out and
pour the measured amounts of detergent and softener into the proper compartments (as illustrated) and
close the drawer.
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER AMOUNTS
BecauseASKOwashersuseless water than conventional top-loading washers, you need less detergent
andfabricsoftener.Werecommend that you use a low-sudsing powder detergent only, preferably a high-
efficiency(HE)detergent designed specifically for front-loading washers. (Liquid detergents tend to suds
more, which make them more difficult to rinse out.)
Detergent – The amount of detergent needed varies, depending on the detergent you use. For high-
efficiency detergent specifically for front-loading washers, you should use the amounts recommended
by the manufacturer. For regular laundry detergent, 1 to 3 tablespoonsof detergent is all you need for
a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need slightly more detergent. Also, the
amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. (Refer to the Use and Care
Guide for more details.) If you choose to use a liquid detergent, start out with a very small amount, such
as one or two tablespoons.
Fabric Softener – We recommend that you use only 2 tablespoons of fabric softener.If more softening
is desired, try using slightly more with the next load.
Prewash detergent
Main wash

Fabric
softener
We recommend that you don’t use bleach in an ASKO washer. The tumbling
wash action, temperature control options and extended wash times are sufficient
to remove most stains.
NOTE:
The detergent drawer is equipped with an
optional child safety catch. (See the Use and
CareGuide.)

Service intervention for leaking front door.
First verify that the door seal is not damaged or covered by lose particles.
In order to increase the sealing strip pressure against the sealing surface of the container, a special O-
ring (part no. 806 178) has been designed.
As of Week 19, 2000, the front door O-ring is factory installed on all WMC 55 Professional models.
The front door O-ring can be fitted on earlier WMC 55 models as well as on WMC 33- -55-66 to
remedy a leaking front door seal.
Fitting the front door O-ring, part no. 80641 8
Fit the O-ring by placing it on the outside, covering the sealing strip (see picture) between the plastic
part of the door and the sealing strip. See the figure.

The timer unit software has been inproved to withstand frequency variations from the power
source.
This change has been implemented on units manufactured after week 13, 2000. The part number of the
timer unit does not change.
Timer units manufactured from week 10, 2000 or later are fitted with the new machine programme.
Check the label on the side of the timer unit
If the programme unit stops at C = (Check)
Check the following before replacing the programme unit.
Possib e error causes:
Thermistor fault
The thermistor output is closed or fully open.
Heating element fault
The set temperature was not reached within:
2 minutes using the Cotton programme or 80 minutes for other programmes.
Water level fault
Overfilling. The mechanical and electronic level guard will indicate a water level fault if the level has not
been reached within minutes or if the level has not been reached within 3 minutes when draining.
Level guard fault
The machine does not heat; it takes too long time (approx. 3 hours).
If the machine does not exhibit any of the above faults, but instead carries out all the programme steps
and then stops at C, then the programme unit should be replaced.
