Here are some tips that may help you before
washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
•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 first 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 different
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 find out what produces the best results.

Advice and tips before washing

Hot water connection
Hot water intake has a positive effect on grease
stains and certain pigment stains, such as oil,
soot, and coffee. Note, however, that difficult
protein stains with albumen content (blood, milk,
meat, and fish) first need to be soaked in cold
water, as they are difficult to dissolve at
temperatures above 104 °F (40 °C). For the best
washing results, we recommend the Super Wash
option and presoaking the stained items in cold
water before washing them in the machine.
Colored cotton
Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C)
should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) the first 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 find 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 fibers and synthetic fibers
Materials made of rayon fibers, such as viscose,
and some synthetic fibers are very delicate and
require much space to avoid wrinkling. Only half
fill 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 sufficient for lightly soiled laundry.
High Water Level
If you want more water for the main wash and
rinses, you can use the High Water Level option.
High Water Level is used automatically in the
Wool/Hand program.
Economy and efficiency
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 effectively without
pre-washing. Pre-washing is only necessary
for heavily soiled laundry.
13Customer Care Center
1-800-898-1879

Advice and tips before washing

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 satisfied 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.
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 difficult 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 floor. 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 sufficient 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 specifically for front-loading
washers. These are sometimes called HE
(High-Efficiency) detergents. Please visit our
homepage www.askousa.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
differences 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
Customer Care Center
1-800-898-1879
14
www.askousa.com
Advice and tips before washing

recommended detergent amounts based on water
hardness. Remember, you should adjust the
amount of detergent you use by small amounts
until you find 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 different 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.

6Select options
You can select options to adjust the wash program to suit your own specific requirements. The
available options depend on the selected program. If the option is available for the selected program,
the symbols lights up when you press the button.
The machine will remember the options you select for each program (with one exception – Delayed Start).
You can still change the selected options the next time you select a particular program.
Temperature
•Select the temperature by pressing the -/+ buttons until the desired temperature is displayed.
•You can select temperatures between Cold (-) and 194 °F (90 °C). If you select Cold, the washing
temperature will be the same as that of the water entering the machine. You cannot choose a
temperature higher than 104 °F (40 °C) for Wool/Hand Wash. The maximum temperature for Time
Choice and Everyday Wear (Easy care) is 140 °F (60 °C).
Spin
•Select the spin speed by pressing the -/+ buttons until the desired spin speed is displayed.
•You can select speeds between 400 and 1800 rpm, 0 (no spin), or No D(no drain). The maximum
spin speed varies according to the selected program. The speed is shown on the display.
•0 , means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends by draining.
•No D, No drain means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends with the water from
the final rinse still in the machine. The washing will remain covered by the water from the final rinse,
stopping it from getting wrinkled. If you have selected "No drain", once the program has ended you
must select the Spin or Drain program to drain the water from the machine before you open the washer
door.
Delayed Start
When you select Delayed Start, the machine will start 1-24 hours after you press the Start/Stop button.
This option cannot be used with Time Choice.
•Select Delayed Start by pressing the + button under the time display. Delayed Start is shown for three
seconds.
•By pressing the + and - buttons under the time display, you can delay the start in whole hours up to a
maximum of 24 hours. The symbol for Delayed Start lights up beside the number of hours.
•Press Start/Stop and the machine will count down 1 hour at a time, starting after the selected delay.
If you change your mind and want to cancel Delayed Start, press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds.
NOTE!
Remember to press the Start/Stop button to start the program.
NOTE!
Make sure the detergent compartment is completely dry before you add detergent, otherwise there is
a risk that the detergent will clump before the machine starts.
