Advice And Tips Before Washing
Here are some tips that may help you
before washing.
Sorting your laundry
Sort items according to:
• How soiled they are
• Color
• Material
Clothing
• Close zippers so that they don’t harm
fabrics.
• New, colored items may contain excess
dye and should therefore be washed
separately the rst few times.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This
reduces the risk of burring and fading.
• 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 nd
out what produces the best results.

Advice And Tips Before Washing
Colored cotton
Colored cotton items labeled 140 °F (60 °C)
should be washed on HOT, 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.
Delicate
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 linens
sheen and strength.
Wool and silk
These fabrics are sometimes labeled as
machine washable and sometimes as hand
wash. The machines Wool/hand program is
just 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 terry cloth
towels.
In this case select No spin.
To nd out how to select this setting, see
the operating instructions. Most items can
withstand a short spin. Select short spin by
selecting a spin speed below medium.
Articial bers and synthetic
bers
These materials require plenty of room to
prevent them from getting wrinkled.
Only ll half the drum when washing articial
or synthetic bers. Choose a short spin by
selecting a spin speed of medium.
Note!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet
Save time and energy
Use the White program to save time and
energy. This program has a shorter main
wash than a Heavily Soiled wash, but it
is often long enough for normally soiled
laundry.
Economy and efciency
You can save a lot of energy by not
using higher temperature programs than
necessary.
• Select Quick wash if you just need to
freshen up shirts or sports 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.
• Try to wash only full loads whenever
possible.
• Avoid washing with prewash. Modern
machines and detergents clean without
prewash. Only garments soiled with
protein stains such as grape juice or
grass are likely to need a prewash.
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.
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.

Advice And Tips Before Washing
Detergents
Note!
Due to environmental concerns, we
discourage the use of chlorine bleach in
your
Asko washing machine. The tumbling
wash action, temperature control options,
extended wash times and proper amount
of detergent are sufcient to remove most
stains.
Laundry detergents are available in low,
normal and high-sudsing formulas.
A detergents 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 difcult to
completely rinse out.
The use of anything other than a low-
sudsing detergent can cause severe over-
sudsing, which could cause suds to backup
through the detergent compartment and
run down the front of the washer onto the
oor. If over-sudsing 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
Everyday Wear/Normal wash program to
get rid of any remaining detergent.
The tumbling wash action, temperature
control options, extended wash times and
proper amount of detergent are sufcient to
remove most stains.
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 pre-wash, so add it into
the main wash compartment.
Should you prefer to use a liquid detergent,
we have provided a liquid detergent cup
specically for use with liquid detergents.
Insert the liquid detergent cup in the main
wash compartment before you pour in the
liquid detergent.
Note!
The liquid detergent cup is supplied with the
machine.

14 Customer Care Center
1-800-898-1879
www.askousa.com
Advice And Tips Before Washing
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-
Efciency) detergents. Listed below are
some low-sudsing powder detergents that
have been successfully tested in ASKO
washers:
• Fab
• All
• Tide HE
• Amway SA8
• Fresh Start
• Wisk HE
We recommend that you do not use
any powder detergent that doesn’t wash
completely out of the detergent drawer.
Amount of detergent to use
The amount of detergent needed varies
among the different brands, but for most
detergents, you need only two or three
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 pre-wash 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
section for more details.
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.
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 extremely
hard water (9+) you may need to wash at
lower temperatures to prevent hard water
deposits from forming in the tank and wash
system.
Different brands of detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softening
water. If you have hard water and use a
detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous
content, you may need to use more
detergent or use a detergent with a higher
phosphorous content.

Liquid Bleach
When using liquid bleach, follow the bleach
manufacturer’s recommendations.
The bleach will be automatically dispensed
at the proper time during the wash cycle.
Note!
Do not ll above the compartment’s
maximum ll level. Overlling can cause
early dispensing of the bleach which could
result in damaged clothes. Do not pour
undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
the load or into the drum. Fabric damage
can occur.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the fabric
softener compartment. Follow the
recommendations on the fabric softener
packaging.
Note!
Do not ll above the compartment’s
maximum ll level. Otherwise fabric softener
will be dispensed too early, which impairs
the washing effect.

Proper care of your washer can extend its
life. This section explains how to care for
your washer properly and safely.
Cleaning your washer
Exterior - Wipe up detergent, bleach, and
other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge
as they occur. Do not use any solvents, as
these can damage the machine.
Interior - Clean the interior
with 250 ml (1 cup) of
chlorine bleach mixed
with 500 ml (2 cups) of
detergent. Run the washer
through a complete cycle.
Repeat this process if
necessary.
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will
not freeze. Because some water may stay
in the hoses, freezing can damage your
washer. If you store or move your washer
during freezing weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer
1. Turn off water faucet.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting
for 1 minute.
4. Unplug the power supply cord.
5. Open the drain pump cover and remove
the coin trap insert. Use a shallow bowl
or old towels to catch the water that
drains from the unit. Replace the coin
trap and close the drain pump cover.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at
home.
If you are on vacation or don’t use your
washer for an extended period of time, you
should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off
power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental ooding (due
to a water pressure surge) while you are
away.
Cleaning the water inlet lter
If your water is very hard or contains traces
of lime deposit, the water inlet lter may
become clogged.
1. Pull the power
cord out of the
receptacle rst.
2. Turn off the
water supply to
the washer and
separate the inlet
hose.
3. Pull the inlet lter
out. Remove the
dirt from the inlet
sediment lter
with a brush.
4. Put the inlet lter
back. Tighten the
inlet hose.
