CLEANING

Disconnect the dryer from the power mains and open the door towards you. Clean the dryer drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.

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:

1. Press the button 2 or the program selector knob to scroll the list of languages. Confirm your selection by pressing the OK button.
2. Press the "Finalize" button to confirm your selection.
   For further drying process, see chapter "DRYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1-7)".

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.

After installation, wait for 24 hours without moving the appliance before using it for the first time. If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides during transport or servicing, place it with its left side, viewing from the appliance front, downwards.

DRYER PLACEMENT

The dryer can be either free standing or installed 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^ , 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 10^ and 25^ .

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. 15mm ). 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 (accessory 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).

At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.

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.

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.
Level 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. After adjusting the height of the feet, firmly tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) using a spanner No 17, by turning them towards the bottom of the washing machine .
3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts).

Set the dryer feet:

1. Tighten the front two feet all the way in.
2. Undo the back feet by 3.5 turns or 5 ~mm ; then, fasten the jam nuts towards the bottom of the appliance .

Place the dryer onto the washing machine:

1. Lift the front part of the dryer by 5 to 10cm
2. Attach the vacuum feet onto the front feet of the dryer.
3. Push the dryer into the tipping guard (so that the B part is inserted into the A part) and release it (See figure on previous page).

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.

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 glass 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 Replace the door on the door hinge and fasten the screws.

BUILT-IN

ASKO dryers can be installed beneath a cabinet or worktop with a minimum height of 864mm There must be a gap of about 12mm all around the machine and a minimum gap of 25mm between the rear edge of the machine top panel and the back wall. The opening width must be at least 622mm The condensing models work best when they have good air circulation. Install the dryer so the condensed water will continuously flow into a drain or sink, you will need a drain outlet behind the unit. The maximum drain height is 1016mm

The height adjustment for the dryer is 850mm to 876 mm. Do not raise it higher than 876 mm.
It is very important to avoid a buildup of heat.
The warm air which is expelled from the rear of the dryer must be able to dissipate.
Warm air which cannot dissipate could cause a fault.
A buildup of heat could be avoided by:
- Creating a gap for the dryer in the kitchen furniture plinth facing.
- Creating ventilation gaps in the kitchen unit. When build under, drying times may be longer.
The dryer should not be installed next to a refrigeration appliance. The warm air expelled from the rear of the dryer would increase the temperature around the refrigeration appliance heat exchanger causing the compressor to run continuously. If it is

not possible to install the dryer anywhere else, then the refrigeration appliance must be sealed off from the dryer.

Ventilation Requirements of ASKO laundry concept or closet installation

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

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

When closet or cabinet is closed by the door, we recommend louvered doors, to ensure proper ventilation particularly for condenser dryers.

Otherwise there must be ventilation openings on the door. See illustration of dimension for ventilation openings below:

Ensure the dryer door can be opened without hindrance after installation.
The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer must not be blocked or covered. Doing so could cause a fault.
Disregarding of instructions influences on appliance performance and may also result in failure of the appliance.

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 "SYSTEM 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 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).

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

1. Close the buttons, zips, and hook-and-loop fasteners, so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. Turn the pockets inside out.
3. Place very sensitive clothes in a special-purpose laundry washing bag. (The special purpose laundry bag is available as an optional accessory in general stores.)

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.

MATERIALS (FABRICS) SUITABLE FOR DRYING IN A TUMBLE DRYER

Material is suitable for tumble drying. Clothes dried in a tumble dryer will be softer and lighter than air-dried clothes.

The dryer does not cause any considerable wear of the fabric. The lint collected in the lint filter consists of dust and fabric fragments collected during the use of the laundry.

MATERIALS (FABRICS) THAT MAY NOT BE DRIED IN A TUMBLE DRYER

This symbol means that the material is not suitable for drying in a tumble dryer.

Never tumble dry the following:

• clothing that was chemically cleaned (or dry-cleaned) at home,
• foam,
  glass fibres.

Pumping 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 power cord from the outlet).

CLEANING THE DOOR NET FILTER IN THE DOOR

1 Open the filter housing.

2 Pull out the net filter.

3 Gently scrape the filter to remove the lint lining (fibres and threads).

4 Reinstall the net filter.

5 Close the filter housing.

Make sure the net filter is correctly inserted into the filter housing.

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

After each drying cycle, empty the condensate tank.

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.)

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.

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 to be emptied.

CLEANING THE HEAT PUMP FILTER

• Do not touch the inner metal parts of the heat exchanger with bare hands. Danger of injury on sharp parts. Use appropriate protection gloves when cleaning the heat exchanger.
  Incorrect cleaning of the metal fins of the heat exchanger can permanently damage the tumble dryer. Do not press on the metal fins with hard objects like for example the plastic tube of a vacuum cleaner.

1 During cleaning, some water may be spilled. It is therefore recommended to place an absorbent cloth on the floor.

Open the outer cover.

2 Hold the levers on the inside cover and rotate them upwards.

Remove the inside cover.

3 Use the handle to pull out the heat pump filter.

4 Pull the foam part of the heat pump filter from the housing. Wash it under running water and dry it before replacing it in the filter housing.

The filter may be washed in the washing machine, with the rinse program on low spin speed. Dry the filter before replacing it in the filter housing.

Clean the foam filter at least after every 10 drying cycles or if necessary.

5 Use a soft dry cloth to also clean the heat pump filter housing and net.
Lower part of the hosing contains a strainer which shall be cleaned thoroughly.
Clean the heat pump filter housing and net after every 10 drying cycles or if necessary.

With automatic heat pump net filter cleaning (only available in some models), a few drops of water may drip on the floor after the filter is removed; therefore, lay a cloth on the floor.

6 The dust and dirt in the metal fins of the heat exchanger can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush attachment.

Without pressing, gently move the brush attachment only in the direction of the metal fins from top to bottom. Too much pressure can damage or bend the metal fins of the heat exchanger.

We recommend you clean the heat exchanger at least every twelve months.

7 Reassemble the foam filter and the filter housing.

8 Reinstall the inside cover and rotate the levers clockwise to the vertical position.

Close the outer cover.

The heat pump filter has to be correctly placed into its slot. Otherwise, the heat exchanger installed inside dryer may be clogged.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CLEANING

If you have inadvertently removed the entire net filter housing in the dryer door, reinstall it in the same position.

Opening on the lower side of the door should occasionally be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

If necessary, clean the filter housing and door gasket as well.

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.

Disturbances from the environment (e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports (see Troubleshooting table). In such case:

• Switch off the appliance, wait for 1 minute, switch the appliance back on, and repeat the drying program.
• If the error persists, call an authorized service center.
• You will be able to solve most of the problems in dryer operation by yourself (see troubleshooting table below).
• Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
  Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the dryer shall not be covered by the warranty. In such cases, the costs of repair shall be charged to the user.

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

Problem/error	Cause	What to do?
The machine will not start.	·The main switch is not switched on.	·Check whether the main switch is on.
	·There is no voltage in the power outlet.	·Check the fuse. ·Check if the power cord plug is correctly inserted into the power outlet.
There is voltage in the outlet, but the drum does not spin ... The dryer does not work.	·Program was not started in accordance with the instructions.	·Re-read the instructions for use again.
	·Door might be open.	·Check if the door is closed properly.
	·The condensate tank is full (only applies to condensation dryer and the dryer with a heat pump).	·Empty the condensate tank (see section "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE") (only applies to condensation dryer and the dryer with a heat pump).
	·Delayed start might be activated.	·To cancel the Delayed Start option, press 5 the Skip button.
The machine stops operating completely during a program.	·The door net filter may be clogged. As a result, the temperature in the dryer rises, which in turn causes overheating, and the dryer switches off.	·Clean the door net filter (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE"). ·Wait for the machine to cool down, and try running it again. If the dryer still fails to start, call service centre.
Laundry not dried or drying takes too long.	• Filters are not clean.	• Clean the filters (see chapter "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE").
	• Dryer is placed in a closed room; room that is too cold; or room that is too small and the air overheats as a result.	• Make sure there is adequate supply of fresh air to the dryer; for example, open the door and/or window. • Check if the temperature in the room where the dryer is installed is too high or too low.
	• Laundry was not sufficiently wrung or spun.	• If the load is still wet after completed drying cycle, an appropriate drying program should be run again (after cleaning filters).
	• Amount of laundry dried in the appliance is too large or insufficient.	• Use a suitable program or extra functions.
	• Laundry (such as bedding) gets tangled.	• Close the buttons or zippers on the laundry before drying. Select a suitable program (e.g. the bedding program). • After the drying process, loosen the laundry and select an additional drying program (e.g. timed drying program).
Unevenly dried laundry.	• Laundry of varying types and thickness, and excessive amount of laundry.	• Make sure you have sorted the laundry by type and thickness, whether you have added a suitable amount of laundry to the drum, and whether you have selected a suitable program.
A slight hitting noise appears.	• If the dryer is out of use for a long period of time, the same points of load-bearing elements or components are under stress for a long time, causing temporary deformation.	• The noise will subside without any intervention.
The door opens during drying.	• Excessive load on the door (too much laundry in the drum).	• Reduce the amount of laundry.
