Installation under the counter

ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet or worktop with a height of 35 1/2" to 37 1/2" (900 to 950 mm) or in a closet. There must be a gap of about 1/2" (12 mm) all around the machine including between the rear edge of the machine’s top panel and the back wall. The opening width must be at least 24 1/2" (624 mm). Space must also be available for the fill and drain hoses. See the illustration for measurements and positions.

If the drain outlet is higher than 24" (610 mm), the connections will need to be recessed.

Closet Install- Ventilation Requirements

ASKO's front panel controls make it possible to install the washers and dryers in a cabinet or closet.

Make sure that there is a minimum distance of 1/2" (12 mm) between the appliance and the cabinet or wall, and a minimum distance of 1" (25 mm) between the rear edge of the top panel of the appliance and the cabinet or wall. To provide adequate ventilation, we recommend doors with grilles. Otherwise, doors must have ventilation openings. See the figure for the minimum ventilation openings.

Ventilation Requirements of ASKO laundry concept (when installing the appliance in a closet)

Make sure there is clearance between appliances and cabinet or wall and 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance between the rear edge of the appliance top panel and the cabinet or wall.

When the closet or cabinet is closed with a door, we recommend using louvered doors to ensure proper ventilation.

Otherwise, the door must have ventilation gaps. See the figure for the dimensions of the ventilation openings.

Connection to water supply

The water inlet hose is included inside the drum of the washing machine. Before use, it must be connected to the appliance and the water supply.

The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person.

STANDARD CONNECTION

Use the water supply hose to connect the appliance. Water pressure has to be between 15–145 psi (approximately 0,1–1 MPa, 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.

The washing machine has a sensor that detects water leakage. If there is water on the bottom of the washing machine, the sensor is activated and trigger a shut-off system to cut the water supply to the washing machine; washing process is stopped, water supply is shut off, the appliance engages the pump, and signals an error.

Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not attempt to install any used hoses or hoses not supplied by ASKO.

If the connection on the supply hose is of different dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4” (1,9 cm) → 1/2” (1,22 cm), use an adapter.

When connecting the water supply hose, make sure to connect it in a way that allows adequate and unobstructed water supply.

Installing the drain hose

Upon delivery, the washing machine has a drain hose attached to the back wall (Figure 1), which must be connected to the drain.

If the drain hose is not correctly attached, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured.

The drain hose can be installed in three ways (see Figure 2):

1Into a wall drain with a siphon (A), which must be properly installed so that it can be cleaned;

2Into a sink or bathtub (B). Use a string to attach the hose through the opening in the elbow so that it does not slip to the floor;

3Directly into the sink drain (C). The diameter of the drain hose must be at least 1 5/8" (4 cm). The internal hose diameter should be at least 3/4" (18 mm) (D).

The end of the drain hose can be no more than 35 7/16" (900 mm) and at least 23 5/8" (600 mm) mm from the ground. The lower position (23 5/8" (60 cm)) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not bent.

If the hose is extended, the internal diameter of the coupling must not be less than 1/2" (12.2 mm).

Do not extend the drain hose higher than 35 7/16" (900 mm) from the bottom of the unit.

Connecting to the household power

After installation, the washing machine should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.

Connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with a ground contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).

When you change the detergent in the tank B, select the appropriate washing program based on the type of laundry.

In the case of the following combinations:

White laundry program + white laundry detergent + off ADS or
Program for colored laundry + colored laundry detergent (but not selected)

then, pour a different type of liquid detergent into tank B than the one selected in tank A. For example, if you have chosen the Black program, you will likely pour a detergent specifically designed for black laundry into the tank. For certain programs, you will be notified to select the appropriate detergent.

If the tank is not empty, the dosing container must be removed and the tank cleaned (see chapter ).

2Filling the compartment with liquid detergent

When you want to use the ADS function for the first time, you will need to fill the dosing container.

While the washing program is running, do not open the dosing container and do not add softener or liquid detergent to the ADS compartment.

Start dispensing the liquid detergent into the selected tank. The tank can be filled to the MAX mark (maximum amount of detergent that can be poured into the tank is 0,29 US gal (1,1 l).

DESCRIPTION OF THE DOSING CONTAINER

1 - Compartment for main wash liquid and powder detergent with the inscription »MainWash«.

2 - Compartment for softeners with the inscription »Softener«.

3 - Separator or movable barrier.

4 - Tank (A) for liquid detergent for ADS.

5 - Tank (B) for liquid detergent or softener for ADS.

FILLING PROCESS

1 - Pull out the dosing container.

2 - Open the lid of the ADS tank A and pour liquid detergent into it up to the mark »MAX«.

Tips before washing

This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing.

Before using the washing machine, carefully remove any solid objects and particles from the textiles you intend to wash to prevent damage to the appliance or clogging of the pump filter. This includes (also check all pockets and flaps):

solid objects (e.g., screws, clips, small stones, hay, etc.),
food residues (e.g., bones, dried dough, etc.),
dried particles of construction materials (e.g., mortar, sand, mud, etc.).

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for malfunctions resulting from failure to follow these instructions, which may also affect the validity of the warranty. Furthermore, the manufacturer does not cover service costs in the event of foreign objects in the pump or pump cleaning.

Laundry sorting

Sort the laundry according to:

how soiled it is,
color,
material,
recommended washing temperature.

Clothing

Nasveti_oblacila

Sort the laundry by type of fabric, color, soiling, and recommended washing temperature (see ).
Wash the laundry that sheds a lot of fiber or lint separately from other laundry.
Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric.
Close the buttons and zippers, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out; remove any metal clips that could damage the laundry and washing machine interior, or clog the drain.
Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and color fading.
Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.

(A dedicated textile bag can be purchased separately.)

Laundry symbols

Observe the laundry symbols.

Cotton Normal wash; Sensitive laundry;
	Max. washing temperature EX. HOT	Max. washing temperature WARM		Do not wash

Laundry types

Dyed cotton

Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 104 °F (40 °C) should be first washed at a temperature of 140 °F (60 °C) to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye being washed out of such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent.

Unbleached linen

Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) with a detergent free of bleach or optical bleaching agents. Heavily soiled linen laundry may be occasionally washed at higher temperatures, but do not do this too often as heat could ruin the shine and strength of linen laundry.

Wool

These fabrics are intended for either machine or hand wash. The Wool/Hand Wash program is equally gentle or even gentler than an actual hand wash.

Wool in particular is sensitive to washing and similar procedures.

When selecting the Wool/Hand wash program use wool detergent and avoid using fabric softener.

If you do not wish to spin your clothes, select a setting without spinning (see chapter ). However, most clothes are able to withstand a short spinning period. Top spinning speed available is 800 rpm.

Viscose and synthetic fibres

Materials made of viscose and some synthetic fibers are highly sensitive, and require a lot of space in order not to crease. When washing fill the recommended load for the program and choose a program with spinning speed of no more than 1200 rpm.

Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.

Saving time and energy

Save time by using Speed mode and save power with the Eco (ecological) washing mode (Green mode).

Economy and efficiency

You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures.

Select the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry or use the Time program (Time program). This will save water and power.

Selecting the maximum spinning speed will reduce power consumption if you dry the clothes in a dryer or a drying cabinet.

Detergents

Detergents carrying the environment protection label are less harmful to the environment.

Only use detergents for machine washing.

When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent clogging the dispenser tray drain.
Liquid detergents are intended for washing programes without a prewash cycle.

Only add the detergents in compliance with the recommendations by detergent manufacturers. Recommended amount of washing detergent at certain loads and water hardness levels are specified on the detergent packaging.

Dosing accessories

To correctly dose detergents, especially liquid ones, use the accessories provided by the detergent manufacturer.

Stains

If your clothes are soiled with stubborn stains (blood, eggs, coffee, grass etc.), they should be appropriately treated before the wash. Then, wash your laundry using the special programs (if your washing machine has them).

Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the environment on less stubborn stains.

However, prompt action is required! Soak the stain with an absorbent sponge or a paper towel; then, rinse with cold (lukewarm) water – but never with hot water!

When using bleaches or stain removal agents, there is danger of rust (corrosion) and discoloration.

To protect the environment, we advise against using powerful chemicals.

Do not use any chemical substances or agents; only use the stain removing detergents.

Dyeing fabrics

If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, choose the Cotton program with the option to select the Super rinse function. Choose the temperature according to the dye manufacturer's recommendations. If you dye mixed fabrics, such as polyester/cotton, choose a low spinning speed.

After dyeing use the Drum Cleaning program. Use the usual amount of detergent.

When using bleaches or stain removal agents, there is danger of rust (corrosion) and discoloration.

To protect the environment, we advise against using powerful chemicals.

If you wash at low temperatures and/or with liquid detergents, there is a risk of developing microorganisms and an unpleasant odor in the washing machine. Leave the washing machine door open after each wash to allow the appliance to dry. If you detect an unpleasant odor, run the Drum Cleaning programe.

To prevent and remove limescale deposits only use agents with added anti-corrosion protection. Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions. To remove limescale deposits, we recommend starting the Drum Cleaning programe. Add spirit vinegar (6.7 fl oz. (2 dl)).

We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of energy and less optimal washing machine performance.
You can save energy and water by filling up the washing machine to the capacity specified by the manufacturer for each programe.

Operating instructions - Washing step by step (1 – 8)

STEP 1: Sort the laundry

See chapter .

STEP 2: Turn on the main switch

On/Off
Press the ikona_ON-OFF on/off button.

STEP 3: Open the washing machine door and insert the laundry

Open the washing machine door by pulling the handle towards you.

Odpiranje_vrat_WM7686

Place the laundry into the washing machine drum.

Before doing so, make sure the drum is empty.

Do not overload the drum!

If the washing machine drum is too full, the laundry will not be washed as thoroughly.

STEP 4: Add the detergent and the softener

Recommended amount of detergent is usually specified on the detergent packaging. When washing a smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased.

Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain temperatures, load size, and water hardness.

When using ADS, the appliance will automatically add the liquid detergent and the softener depending on the amount of laundry and the other settings.

Powder detergent

Only dispense the powder detergent into the front main wash/hand wash compartment »MainWash«. Do not put any powder detergent in the container for ADS.

We recommend adding the powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. Otherwise, make sure the detergent compartment is completely dry before adding the powder detergent, as otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process.

Liquid detergent

When using liquid detergent and softeners, follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations. When using thick detergents, we always recommend using the laundry balls. In the detergent compartment, use the separator (3); see figure in the chapter Description of the washing machine .

Add the liquid detergent to the Main wash dispenser (1) or into the tank A or B for ADS.

Liquid detergent in ADS

The washing machine will automatically add the amount of liquid detergent and softener depending on the amount of your laundry and how heavily soiled it is.

Compartment (A) for liquid detergent for: colored, white, black, delicate or other laundry.

Compartment (B) for liquid detergent for different types of laundry, softener or other rinse aids.

See chapter: .

In case of excessive foaming, check the water hardness settings (see chapter/«), how heavily soiled the laundry is and the setting for the amount of liquid detergent according to the manufacturer's recommendations (see chapter ).

Use of other non-homogenised or homemade liquid detergents can cause malfunction of the ADS. Any servicing required due to such problems shall not be covered by the warranty.
The ADS function is tested with liquid detergents from the world's leading manufacturers.
Do not mix different liquid detergents. When changing the liquid detergent, the tanks need to be cleaned.

Laundry capsules, ball, or washing net

If you use laundry capsules, a ball, or a washing net, place it directly in the drum and select a program without prewash.

An excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results. Rather, it will lead to foaming and increase the environmental impact. We recommend using less detergent. Only increase the dosage if you are not satisfied with the washing results.

Softener

Pour the softener into the detergent compartment, into the compartment with the symbol . Observe the recommendation on the softener packaging.

Do not fill the softener compartment over the max. indication (maximum indicated level). Otherwise, the softener will be added to the washing machine drum too soon, leading to a less optimal washing effect.

STEP 5: Choose the program

Choose the program by rotating the Program selector knob in either direction.

Choose the program depending on the type and soil level of laundry (see chapter ).

Estimated program duration will appear on the display.

With the selected program, you can press key 5 and then key 3 Information to display a brief description of the program and the maximum load.

Extra program settings can also be selected for each program. See .

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the dispenser tray

Always disconnect the washing machine from the power mains before cleaning.

Cleaning the ADS system is very important for the correct operation of the appliance! Clean the empty container of the ADS system regularly, at least once a month or with every other filling.

1On the right side of the lower part of the dosing container, press on the release mechanism and completely remove the dosing container from its housing.

2On the underside of the dosing container, push into the opening of the left and right compartment of the ADS to remove the tank from the dosing container.

3Remove the tank cover using the tab on the rear side.

Rinse the tank under water and clean thoroughly. You can help yourself with a brush.

4

Also open the tank cap and clean it.

5

Clean the dosing container interior.

6

Reinstall the tank into the housing of the dosing container.

7Use a brush to clean the nozzles on the upper side of the detergent compartment housing.

Use a brush to clean the lower part of the detergent compartment housing.

8Put the dosing container back into its housing and close it.

When cleaning the dosing container, always remove the concentrated detergent and softener residues. Also clean the bottom of the dosing container housing.

The dosing container can be washed in the dishwasher; before that you must remove any residues of detergent or softener. The maximum allowed washing temperature in the dishwasher is 131°F (55°C).

Cleaning the filter

The washing machine has a filter that will retain smaller objects such as coins, buttons, hair etc.

1Before cleaning, drain the water from the washing machine using the Drain program, and disconnect the washing machine from the power mains.

Open the pump filter cover using appropriate tools (the door opening tool is located on the front right side of the dosing container).

2Release the water drain hose from the holder.

3Before cleaning the filter, drain the water from the washing machine by placing the end of the water drain hose over a large shallow container and opening the cap on the water drain hose.

4Gradually rotate the filter in the counter-clockwise direction and pull it out.

5Clean the filter thoroughly under running water.

6Remove all objects and impurities from the filter housing and the impeller.

7Replace the filter as shown in the figure and fasten it by rotating in the clockwise direction. For a good seal, the filter seal surface should be clean.

Reattach the drain hose and close the lid.

We recommend regular cleaning of the pump filter once a month. When washing very fleecy, very dirty or old laundry, do it more often.

Cleaning the exterior of the appliance

Clean the exterior of the appliance and the display using a soft, damp cotton cloth and water. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the appliance. (Please follow the recommendations and warnings provided by the cleaning product manufacturers.)

Do not clean the machine with a jet of water!

After every wash, wipe the rubber door gasket and remove any objects that may have become stuck in the gasket to extend its useful life.

Preventing odors

Modern detergents often allow washing clothes at low temperatures. This means that residue may accumulate in the washing machine, which in turn could cause odors.

To avoid bad odors, we recommend running the Drum Cleaning program once per month . Use a small amount of powder detergent, without any laundry.

If you have hard water

If you are washing with hard water (high limescale content), a greyish-white coating may appear on the washing machine drum. Remove this coating by pouring alcohol vinegar (pickling vinegar) into the washing machine drum (approx. 2 dl) or sodium bicarbonate (1 tablespoon or 15 g) and select any program in which the temperature reaches 90 °C or the Drum cleaning program. See chapter STEP 5: .

Repeat the process as necessary.

For the water hardness adjustment procedure, see chapter /.

** UI = (User Interface)

Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation. The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS* (*stability control system) will be activated.
Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer program duration. In extreme cases of unfavorable conditions, the program can be completed without the spinning cycle.
The UKS* (*stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer washing machine useful life.

If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorized service technician.

Noise and vibration – make sure the appliance is levelled using the adjustable legs and that the jam nuts are securely tightened.

The warranty does not cover consumables, minor deviations in color, increased noise that results from appliance age and which does not affect the functionality of the appliance, and aesthetic defects on components, which do not affect the functionality and safety of the appliance.

The warranty does not cover the errors or failures resulting from disturbances from the environment (lightning strike, power grid failures, natural disasters etc.).

Wi-Fi Network Requirements and Recommendations

1. Access Point and Coverage

Standard 2,4 GHz Band Wi-Fi network IEEE 802.11b/g/n required,
use a stable router or access point with adequate signal strength (minimum −60 dBm) at the appliance installation location,
avoid excessive channel overlap; use non-overlapping 2,4 GHz channels (1, 6, or 11) and 20 MHz channel width,
Wi-Fi network capacity must be dimensioned appropriately in multi-appliance installations.

2. Security and Encryption

Network must use WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA/WPA2 encryption,
open (unencrypted) networks are not supported,
appliance and mobile device must be connected to the same SSID during initial setup,
continuous internet connection is required for operation of remote features.

3. Unsupported Network Types

Networks with captive portals (browser-based login pages) or public Wi-Fi networks (hotel, guest hotspot with login, etc.),
networks requiring proxy servers or VPN tunnels,
networks with strict MAC filtering (unless appliance MAC is manually whitelisted),
networks enforcing client-based default-deny access control (unless appliance is manually granted access).

v	One program for quick washing of lightly soiled laundry, at the nominal capacity for this program
vi	One program for heavily soiled textiles, at the nominal capacity for this program
1	Due to the influence of water pressure, hardness, and inlet temperature, the type, quantity, and soiling of the laundry, the detergent used, power supply, and selected functions, the actual values may differ from the specified values.

The above table includes several examples of the use of energy, water, and time for several different program settings. Actual consumption or duration may vary depending on the water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, weight and type of load, changes in power supply, and selected options or settings. In the examples specified here, the draining is set to Normal and no additional options are selected.

Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.

Adjustment of the displayed washing time

Advanced technology allows the appliance to sense the amount of laundry and add the required amount of water during the washing process. Depending on the washing load, washing time can be longer or shorter and the time displayed will be adjusted accordingly.

Moreover, displayed washing time may change due to differences in inlet water temperature. At low inlet water temperatures, washing time can be longer; at higher temperatures, it can be shorter.

Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation. The appliance can sense such lumps and will try to redistribute the laundry. Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer program duration.
