The detergent drawer on ASKO washers automatically dispenses the detergent and
fabric softener at the appropriate times. 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.
If you use liquid detergent, you will need to use the main wash compartment partition
packaged with your washer. (See your Use and Care Guide.)

Because ASKO washers use less water than conventional top-loading washers, you need less detergent and fabric softener. We recommend
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 tablespoons of
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.

We recommend that you don’t use bleach in your 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 your Use and Care Guide.)
(For more troubleshooting issues, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in your Use and Care Guide.)

1) Where do I put the fabric softener?
2) Why does the machine run longer than my old
top-loader?
3) The machine won’t start.
4) The machine won’t spin.
5) The door won’t open.
ANSWERSANSWERS
ANSWERSANSWERS
ANSWERS
1) See illustration above.
2) One reason ASKO washers clean better than others is because they
have longer wash cycles and extra rinses. Also, if the water entering
the machine is exceptionally cold, it will take longer to heat, therefore
increasing the cycle time.
3) a) Make sure the unit is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
b) Be sure the Power button is pushed in and the indicator light is red.
c) The door must be closed securely (but don’t slam it).
d) The Program Control knob may not be in the proper
position for the beginning of a program.
e) Check the house breaker and fuses.
4) Check the pin trap for an obstruction blocking the pump or outlet hose.
5) See “Door Open” on the previous page and Answer 3 above.
