Safety precautions

•Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as described
in the instruction manual. The machine is not intended for dry
cleaning.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost
of any damage.
•Only use detergents intended for the washing machine!
•Only use agents for machine washing and care of laundry. We
shall not be responsible for any damages or discolouration of
gaskets and plastic parts resulting from incorrect use of bleaching
or colouring agents.
•Bleaches that contain chlorine can be replaced with oxygen-based
bleaches. Otherwise, a neutralization cycle should be performed
by running the Cotton program at the highest temperature. For
best results, use hydrogen peroxide or oxygen-based detergents.
•Do not use colourants (dyes) or bleaching substances (substances
for discolouration or removal of colourants) as they contain
sulphuric compounds that could cause corrosion.
•Excessive use of products containing chlorine compounds
increases the risk of premature failure of appliance components.
This depends on the concentration of chlorine, exposure time,
and temperature.
•DANGER OF FIRE!
Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could lead
to release of poisonous gases, damage to the machine, and
risk of fire and explosion.
•Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the transport
bolts and all other transport protection devices. See chapter
"BEFORE FIRST USE/Transport protection".

For further washing process, see chapter "WASHING PROCESS STEP BY STEP".
INFORMATION!
The amount of detergent also depends on the hardness of water. For details, see the detergent
packaging. Please contact your local water supply company to check the water hardness in your
area.
INFORMATION!
Before the product is dispatched from the factory, every appliance is tested.
As a result, there may be some residual water left in the discharge pump filter. This, however,
does not affect the quality and will not damage the appliance.
11
Before using for the first time

Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as a built-in (integrated) or a free-standing unit. Place the
machine on a level surface so that the power outlet on the wall is accessible.
INFORMATION!
Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it
reaches room temperature.
INFORMATION!
If the appliance is installed on a plinth or a similar structure, then the appliance must be fixed to
it, to avoid the risk of falling. ASKO original accessories are available for this purpose, complete
with fixing instructions.
Surface for positioning
The most suitable surface for installation is concrete. Unlike wooden floors or other floor coverings
with "soft" characteristics, concrete rarely vibrates during spinning.
*The washing machine must be installed in a vertical and stable position
*Do not place the washing machine on soft floor coverings, otherwise it will vibrate during spinning.
Built-in washing machine
The washing machine can be integrated under a worktop with a height of 900–950 mm. Leave 5 cm
of room around the entire appliance, including between the back edge of the upper cover and the
wall behind it.

Installation and connection

Stacking an ASKO dryer on top of an ASKO washing machine
To stack an ASKO dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping
guard (A+B), supplied in the cardboard box in the ASKO dryer drum.
Adjusting the feet
Place the washing machine so that it is stable.
1. Level the washing machine in longitudinal
and traverse direction by rotating the
adjustable feet (using a No. 32 spanner).
The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 cm.
2. When the appropriate height of feet is set,
use the wrench No. 17 to firmly fasten the
counter-nuts towards the bottom of the
appliance .
3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) to the end
position.
This will reduce washing machine noise,
vibration, movement etc. to minimum.
Moving the washing machine and transport after installation
If you are moving the washing machine without packaging, open the washing machine door and
pull the appliance by holding the washing assembly, as indicated in the figure.
14
Installation and connection

For any further moving of the appliance, use the transport rods (the washing machine drum has to
be blocked).
(See chapter TRANSPORT PROTECTION.)
Connection to water supply
INFORMATION!
The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person.
Use the water supply hose to connect the appliance. Water pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1
MPa (approximately 1–10 kp/cm2, 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/cm2).
If the hoses are newly installed, we recommend rinsing them to remove any impurities. Otherwise,
these impurities could clog the filter in the water connection on the washing machine and thus cut
off the water supply.
The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal.
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
INFORMATION!
If the connection on the supply hose is of different dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4”→
1/2”), use an adapter.
Connecting to hot/cold water supply
(Only available in some models)
If your appliance has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold
water connection and the other hose to the hot water connection, as indicated on the back of the
appliance:
COLD = cold and HOT = hot.
15
Installation and connection

Hot water is supplied for programs operating at 40 °C or more.
INFORMATION!
Connecting to both hot and cold water will save time and electric energy when washing.
If your washing machine model has connections for both hot and cold water, and you only wish to
connect cold water, then the protective cap has to be (or remain) attached to the hot water connection.
Installing the drain hose
Upon delivery, the appliance has a drain hose attached. This drain hose must be connected to a
drain. Drain hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly
installed to allow cleaning. The height of the drain should be 600–900 mm above the floor. The lower
position (600 mm) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not clipped or bent.
16
Installation and connection

Drain hose can also be connected directly to the washbasin drain via a siphon. In this case, the
hose, should be 600–900 mm above the floor. Internal hose diameter should be at least 18 mm.
See figure.
At least 18 mm
17
Installation and connection

Connecting to the power mains
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
After installation, the washing machine should stand still for two hours before it is connected to
the power mains.
Connect the appliance to an earthed power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely
accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant
regulations).
If you have a washing machine with a 3-phase connection, the connection must be carried out by
a qualified and authorized specialist.
Connection upon delivery
Information about your washing machine is indicated on the rating (type) plate.
Use the type A differential current protection switch.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a lightning
strike.
WARNING!
The washing machine may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
INFORMATION!
Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair
dryer.

This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing.
Laundry sorting
Sort the laundry according to:
•how soiled it is,
•colour,
•material.
Clothing
1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several
times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and colour fading.
4. Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
5. Empty the pockets and turn them inside out.
