Before using the appliance for the first time
Packaging
Remove all packaging.
Please sort the materials in compliance with local recommendations (see chapter "Disposal").
Cleaning
Disconnect the dryer from the power mains and open the door towards you. Before using the dryer for the first time, clean the dryer drum using a soft damp cotton cloth and water.
In the case of a 3 phase connection of the appliance, switch off the main socket switch.
No program can be started while the door is open.
Choosing the language
When the dryer is connected (see chapter "Installation and connection") and switched on for the first time, choose the preferred language.
For further drying process, see chapter "DRYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP".
When you run the dryer for the first time, or if the dryer has been out of use for a long time, slight hitting noise may appear. This is normal and it will disappear after a few drying cycles.
Installation and connection
Dryer placement
The dryer can be either free standing or installed on top of a washing machine.
At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may be longer due to limited amount of ambient air.
Do not place the dryer in a room where temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine may not operate correctly at such low temperatures, or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the machine.
For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with adequate ventilation and a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened.
Never block the air vents.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
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.
Free-standing appliance
|
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine. If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor is not sufficient, the dryer may move during operation. To prevent sliding, use a non-slide mat or install the supplied vacuum feet onto both front feet. |
|
Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit level to level the dryer in longitudinal
and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet using a No. 22 spanner (max.
15 mm). Then, firmly tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) by rotating them towards
the appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner |
Clearance around the dryer for optimum operation
|
The appliance shall not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation, observe the clearance from the wall as shown in Fig. |
Opening the dryer door (top view)
Stacking on top of a washing machine
To stack the 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 dryer drum. Tipping guard part B is designed to fit on ASKO washing machines and it may be hard or impossible to mount on appliances of other brands. If the washing machine and dryer are not of matching dimensions or if you have installed a hidden helper between the two appliances, then binding plates are available as optional accessories at the service center (… available only for HH (acessory Hidden Helpers) and TD75 stacked on top of WM80 or WM85; not intended for any other combinations).
All ASKO washing machines can bear the weight of the dryer.
Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight of the dryer (see washing machine’s rating plate or technical information).
How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO):
There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard.
|
|
1 The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A + B). Use two screws to attach the A part to the back of the dryer. |
|
2 Undo the screw on the back side of the washing machine. |
|
|
3 Use the screw to attach the tipping guard (B part) to the back of the washing machine. |
|
|
4 Level the washing machine so that it is stable.
|
|
|
5 Set the dryer feet:
|
|
|
6 Place the dryer onto the washing machine:
Make sure the tipping guard is "locked"! |
Changing the door opening direction
To change the direction of door opening, proceed as follows:
|
1 Open the door fully. |
|
|
2 Undo the screws and remove the door. |
|
|
3 Use a screwdriver to remove the door lock cover and undo the screw on the door lock. |
|
4 Push the door lock upwards and remove it. Move it to the other side and push it downwards. |
|
|
5 Fasten the screw on the door lock. Replace the door lock cover. |
|
6 Undo the door hinge assembly (left) and the door latch assembly (right), switch their positions, and replace the screws (door hinge assembly to the right-hand side, door latch assembly to the left-hand side). Use a screwdriver to remove the plastic part more easily. |
|
7 Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily. |
|
8 Rotate the door cover by 90°so that the sign indicating the opening of the door is on the other side. |
|
9 Rotate the door ring by 180°, install it onto the door, and fasten it with screws. |
|
|
10 Install the door to the front and screw the door. |
Draining the condensate
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. Condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter "Cleaning and maintenance").
To simplified and avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank, run the condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain (see chapter "Settings/ Condensed water").
|
1 Remove the small short hose from the attachment (A). |
|
2 Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A). Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. Tie the hose onto a tap (B) so that it cannot slip during use. The drain hose can also be fed into the washbasin siphon (C) or directly into the floor drain (D). Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a siphon, or a floor drain. Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not under tension, clamped, or bent. |
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, siphon, or washbasin, make sure the hose is securely fastened. This will prevent any water spillage that could result in unexpected damage.
Always use hoses that are supplied with the appliance.
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the appliance and the non-return valve prevents such flow.
Connecting to the power mains
After installation, the dryer 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 tumble dryer with a 3 phase connection, the connection must be carried out by a qualified and authorized specialist.
Connection upon delivery
Information about your dryer is indicated on the rating (type) plate.
Use the type A differential current protection switch.
The dryer shall not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
Coin operation
(Only available in some models)
The machine is prepared for coin operation.
Owner/distributor can find detailed informations in Service manual.
Such installation must be carried out by a qualified professional.
The coin meter shall be able to short circuit two signal lines for periods of up to 10 minutes.
This will allow the user to load the appliance, choose a program and start the program after inserting the coins.
"Please pay to continue" appears on the display when the machine is started with the main power switch (by pressing on button Start).
Advices before drying
This chapter includes several advices on how to prepare the laundry from drying.
Laundry sorting
Sort the laundry according to:
-
type,
-
fabric thickness.
For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material.
Clothing
-
Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
-
Turn the pockets inside out.
-
Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry bag.
(The special purpose laundry bag is available as an optional accessory in general stores.)
Laundry to be dried in the dryer should be spun at a minimum of 1000 rpm. Higher spinning speeds will save energy and cut drying time.
If you decide to dry only one large item, we recommend drying it separately from smaller items of laundry.

SOUNDS
(depending on the model)
In the initial stage of drying or during drying, the compressor and the pump may cause noise which, however, does not affect the dryer operation.
Humming sound: this is the sound of the compressor unit. The level of noise depends on the program and the drying stage.
Whirring sound: from time to time, the compressor unit is ventilated.
Pumping or liquid flowing sound: the pump is pumping the condensate into the condensate tank.
Clicking sound: clicking noise is caused by automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger (compressor).
Rustling water sound: can be heard during automatic cleaning.
Rattling sound: can be heard during drying if laundry has any hard parts (buttons, zippers etc.)
Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).
Cleaning the door net filter in the door
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).
|
1 Lift the net filter cover. |
|
2 By hand or a cloth drag the net filter to remove the lining of fibers and threads. The door net filter may feel quite loose when cleaning/removing fibers and threads. This is normal because of large net filter area in combination with high working temperatures inside the tumble dryer. |
|
3 If necessary, clean the net filter housing and door gasket as well. |
|
4 Close the net filter cover. |
|
5 If it is necessary to clean the net filter from the back, unscrew the screw and turn the filter from the locked to the unlocked position. Pull out the entire filter unit and clean it thoroughly, and return the filter unit to its original position after cleaning. Turn the filter from the unlocked to the locked position and tighten the screw. |
Make sure you do not pinch your fingers with the filter cover.
Clean the door net filter after each drying cycle.
Never operate without a door net filter or if the door net filter is damaged.
Emptying the condensate tank
Empty the condensate tank after each drying cycle.
If the condensate tank is overflowing the drying program will be paused automatically.
A warning will appear on the display unit that the condensate tank has to be emptied.
(Disregard this warning if you fed the condensate discharge hose into a drain, siphon, or a sink.)
|
|
1 Pull out the condensate tank from the dryer, then turn it upside down over a washbasin, sink, or any suitably sized vessel. |
|
|
2 Discharge the water through the condensate drain opening. To make draining the tank easier, pull out the nozzle at the condensate drain. Some water will still remain in the condensate tank, after emptying the water. |
|
3 Replace the condensate tank into the dryer housing. |
Water from the condensate tank is not drinkable. If thoroughly filtered, it can be used for ironing.
Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate tank.
Condensate tank does not require draining if the drain hose is connected directly to a washbasin or a bathroom floor drain (see chapter ”Installation and connection/Draining the condensate”).
Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated room during the winter, the condensate tank has to be emptied.
Water condenser clleaning
Clean the condenser when warning appears on the display.
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).
|

Cleaning the appliance exterior
Clean the appliance exterior and the display unit using a soft damp cotton cloth and water. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the appliance (please observe the recommendations and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents).
Wipe all parts of the dryer with a soft cloth until dry.
Keep the area around the dryer clean and cool. Dust, heat, and humidity will extend the drying time.
Always disconnect the dryer from the power mains before cleaning.
In the case of a 3 phase connection of the appliance, switch off the main socket switch.
