Advice and tips before washing
Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sorting your laundry
• how soiled they are
• color
• material
Clothing
1. Close zippers and Velcro straps so they won’t
damage fabrics.
2. New colored items may contain excess dye
and should therefore be washed separately
the rst few times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This reduces
the risk of burling and fading.
4. Empty pockets and wash them inside out if
possible.
Laundry labels
Look at the item’s laundry label. The table below
shows suitable wash programs for dierent
materials and wash loads.Using modern washing
machines and detergents, such as compact
detergents, you can usually wash at lower
temperatures. It is a good idea to use trial and
error to nd out what produces the best results.
Laundry label symbols
Examples of washing instructions and recommended programs. Always follow the washing instructions

Coloured cotton
Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C)
should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) the rst time
in order to remove any excess dye. If you do not
do so, there is a risk that the color will run. Use
detergent without bleach in order to preserve the
color of the fabric.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed
at 140 °F (60 °C), using detergent containing
no bleach or optical whiteners. Heavily-soiled
linen can occasionally be washed at higher
temperatures, but not too often as the heat can
destroy the linen’s sheen and strength.
Wool
These fabrics are labeled either machine wash
or hand wash. The Wool/Hand Wash program is
at least as gentle as washing by hand.
Wool is especially sensitive to processes such
as washing.
If you do not wish to spin dry, you can squeeze
out the water using terrycloth towels. In this case
select No spin.
To nd out how to choose this setting, see the
"Operating instructions" chapter. However, most
garments can withstand a short spin. Choose a
short spin by selecting a spin speed of 800 rpm
or less.
Rayon bers and synthetic bers
Materials made of rayon bers, such as viscose,
and some synthetic bers are very delicate and
require much space to avoid wrinkling. Only half
ll the drum when washing and choose a spin
speed of 800 rpm or lower.
NOTE!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Reducing allergic reactions
The washing machine has a Super Rinse option.
Use this for people with sensitive skin, such as
those with allergies and small children.
Save time and energy
Use the Color program to save time and energy.
This program has a shorter main wash than
White, but is often sucient for lightly soiled
laundry.
Economy and eciency
You can save a lot of energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up
shirts or exercise clothes, for example. This
will save both water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces
energy consumption when drying in a tumble
dryer or drying cabinet.
• Always wash with a full load when using the
Sani, Color, and White programs.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and
detergents clean eectively without pre-
washing. Pre-washing is only necessary for
heavily soiled laundry.
Detergents
Eco-labeled detergents are less harmful to the
environment.
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment.
Try to use less detergent, and increase only if you
are not satised with the results.
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select
the Color program with the Super Rinse option.
Select the temperature according to the dye
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Choose a low spin speed if the fabric to be dyed
is a blended material, such as polyester/cotton.
Advice and tips before washing

13
Customer Care Center
1-800-898-1879
www.askona.com
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not
to the detergent compartment. After dyeing, you
should run the machine empty using the same
program. Use the normal amount of detergent.
NOTE!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage
the use of strong chemicals.
When using agents for bleaching or stain
removal, there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and
discoloration of the machine.
Liquid detergents
We don’t recommend liquid detergents because
they tend to produce more suds than powder
detergents when used in water temperatures of
150° F or higher.
If you should try a liquid detergent, start with a
very small amount, such as 1 to 2 tablespoons.
Also, liquid detergent can be used for all programs
without prewash, so add it into the main wash
compartment.
Detergents
Laundry detergents are available in low-, normal-
and high-sudsing formulas. A detergent´s ability
to clean is not relative to the amount of suds it
produces. Excess suds in a front-loading washer
actually interfere with the cleaning because they
cushion the tumbling action. Also, high-sudsing
detergents are more dicult to completely rinse
out.The use of anything other than a low-sudsing
detergent can cause severe oversudsing, which
could cause suds to backup through the
detergent compartment and run down the front of
the washer onto the oor. If oversudsing occurs,
run the wash through one or more rinse programs
until all items are thoroughly rinsed. Remove the
laundry then run the washer through a Normal
wash program to get rid of any remaining
detergent.
We recommend that you don’t use bleach in
your ASKO washer. The tumbling wash action,
temperature control options, extended wash
times and proper amount of detergent are
sucient to remove most stains.
Recommended powder detergents
ASKO washers use 50% to 75% less detergent
than most other washers. This is because of their
low water consumption and the fact that all the
wash water is repeatedly circulated through the
laundry, ensuring that all the detergent is fully
utilized. We recommend that you use powder
detergents made specically for front-loading
washers. These are sometimes called HE (High-
Eciency) detergents. Please visit our homepage
www.askona.com to see the powder detergents
we recommend for ASKO washers.
We recommend that you do not use any powder
detergent that doesn’t wash completely out of
the detergent drawer.
Detergent Amounts Based on
Water Hardness
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to
dierences in water hardness. To determine the
water hardness in your area, contact your local
water utility or area water softening company.
The harder the water, the more detergent you
may need. Refer to the chart below for the
recommended detergent amounts based on
water hardness. Remember, you should adjust
the amount of detergent you use by small
amounts until you nd the correct amount.
Note that 12 grains and higher is extremely
hard water and detergent alone may not be
enough. You may need to use a water softener
to maximize the performance of your washer.
Also, in areas with hard water (9+) you may need
to wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard
water deposits from forming in the tank and wash
system.
Amount of detergent to use
The amount of detergent needed varies among
the dierent brands, but for most detergents,
you need only one or two tablespoons. Using too
much detergent can result in detergent residue
being left

in your clothes, which can cause them to appear
gray or dingy. You should start with a small
amount of detergent and increase it only if the
cleaning results are unsatisfactory.
Additionally, you should never put detergent
in the prewash compartment unless you are
using a wash program that has a prewash cycle.
This could cause excess foaming, which could
damage the machine.
The amount of detergent needed can also
depend on the hardness of the water in your
area. See the “Detergent Amounts Based on
Water Hardness” section on the next page for
more details.
Advice and tips before washing
Recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness
Detergent amounts
Water hardness Pre Wash Main Wash
Soft (0-3 grains per gal.) 1 teaspoon 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons
