Note!  
Do not tumble-dry  
When starting the tumble dryer for the first  
time or after a long period without use, you  
may notice a slight thumping sound.This is  
completely normal and will stop after a few  
loads.  
Certain materials are sensitive to tumble-  
drying. Always check and follow an item’s  
laundry label.You can read more on page 9,  
“Before tumble-drying”.

Advice and tips before you tumble-dry  
Here are some tips that may help you before you begin tumble-drying.  
Has it been spun?  
Items to be tumble-dried should be spun at  
1000 rpm or faster. Better spinning saves  
both energy and drying time.  
Laundry labels  
Materials that can be tumble-dried  
This symbol means that the material is suit-  
able for tumble-drying. Fabrics best suited  
to tumble-drying are cotton fabrics, terry  
cloth and synthetic fibres. Garments will be  
softer and lighter when tumbled than when  
hung out to dry.  
Note!  
Wear to fabrics in the tumble dryer is in-  
significant.The fluff that gets caught in the  
fluff filter is dust and fibre remnants formed  
when the items are used.  
Materials that must not be  
tumble-dried  
This symbol means that the material is not  
suitable for tumble-drying.  
Certain materials may melt or become a fire  
hazard if exposed to heat, and others lose  
their shape or shrink.  
And do not tumble-dry...  
• materials labelled “Do not dry near heat”,  
• garments that have been dry-cleaned at  
home,  
• foam plastic,  
• fibreglass material,  
• wool must not be tumble-dried due to the  
risk of felting.

Tumble-drying  
Below are step-by-step instructions to  
help you achieve the best possible tumble-  
drying results.  
Iron Dry  
This programme shuts off the heat once  
the load is just damp enough for ironing or  
pressing.

them again if you wish.  
This programme is for items that are par-  
ticularly difficult to dry, e.g. jeans with very  
thick seams.  
Low Temperature  
Select or deselect Low Temperature by  
pressing the Temperature button.  
Once Low Temperature has been selected,  
the red field next to the button lights up.  
Note!  
Knit fabrics in particular are prone to shrink-  
age. Use the Dry, Normal Dry or Iron Dry  
programmes for such items. Stretch clothes  
back into shape immediately after drying.  
Anti-crease  
This option means that the drum will rotate  
three seconds per minute for two hours  
once the drying programme has finished.  
This option prevents the items remaining in  
the same position and becoming creased.  
A useful feature if you are not able to re-  
move the load as soon as tumble-drying  
has finished.  
Dry, Normal Dry  
These programmes shut off the heat once  
the load is dry without being “bone-dry”.  
The Dry programme shuts off the heat  
slightly later than Normal Dry. Use trial and  
error to find out what works best. Use these  
programmes when you want items to be  
completely dry.  
A lighted red field by the button indicates  
that the Anti-crease option has been acti-  
vated.

Delayed Start  
Drying programme finished  
Select or deselect this option by pressing  
the Delayed Start button.The machine will  
start the programme 5 hours after you press  
the selection + Start/Stop button.  
A lighted red field by the button indicates  
that the option has been activated. If you  
change your mind, press the Start/Stop  
button for 3 seconds.You can now start the  
machine as usual  
The text  
in the display indicates  
7that the programme has finished.  
If the Anti-crease option has been  
selected, the drum will rotate every minute  
for two hours after cooling.

Caution!  
Press the Start button  
If the fluff filter becomes clogged, the ma-  
chine’s automatic overheating cut-out may  
be triggered.To enable the machine to be  
restarted, the filter must be cleaned and  
the machine allowed to cool for around 30  
minutes.  
6
Drying time remaining  
An estimate of the remaining drying time  
will be shown in the display within 2 min-  
utes of the drying programme starting. For  
example, 1:35 means that approximately 1  
hour and 35 minutes remain until the load  
achieves the selected level of dryness. If  
the Anti-crease option has been selected,  
the drum will rotate every minute for two  
hours after cooling.  
Cleaning the fluff filter  
1. Grasp the filter handle and pull it towards  
you.  
2. Pull the filter out of its holder.  
3. Open the filter and remove the fluff by  
hand.  
If you want to stop or change a  
programme  
Press and hold the Start/Stop button for  
three seconds.The red field next to the but-  
ton goes out.  
4. Fold the filter up and re-insert it into its  
holder.The filter may need to be cleaned  
if limescale deposits occur, see “Care and  
cleaning” chapter.  
Note!  
The programme is not affected if the pro-  
gramme selector is changed after the pro-  
gramme starts.

Clean the outside of the machine and the  
programme panel with a mild cleaner.  
Do not use any solvents, as these can  
damage the machine. Do not hose down or  
spray the machine with water.  
If you have very hard water, this can cause  
limescale deposits in the fluff filter. Check  
for any limescale deposits when cleaning  
the fluff filter and, if necessary, wash down  
the filter by hand.  
Note!

Troubleshooting  
The machine will not start  
Check  
• that the outer door is properly closed  
• that the main power switch is pressed  
• that you have set the programme correctly  
• that the Delayed Start option has not been  
selected. If so, the time remaining until start  
will be shown in full hours in the display  
(e.g. 5, 4, 3h).To cancel the programme,  
see page 10  
• that any plug is connected  
• that your home’s fuses (circuit breakers)  
are intact, swap two circuit breakers.You  
cannot always tell from outside if a circuit  
breaker is broken  
• that the overheating cut-out has not been  
triggered (see below).  
Overheating cut-out  
The overheating cut-out shuts off the tum-  
ble dryer if the temperature is too high, e.g.  
because dust is clogging the fluff filter.  
• Clean the filter.  
• The overheating cut-out will reset auto-  
matically once the machine has cooled.  
Drying takes too long  
• Make sure that the tumble dryer has ac-  
cess to more cold air, e.g. by opening doors  
and/or windows.

Installation  
How to fit the stacker:  
1. Undo the two screws indicated on the  
back of the washing machine.  
Positioning the tumble dryer  
The tumble dryer can be positioned as  
freestanding or in a stack. Remember that  
the tumble dryer produces heat and should  
therefore not be located in a room that is  
too small. If the room is very small, drying  
will take longer due to the limited quantity of  
air.  
Caution!  
The machine must not be installed behind a  
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with  
hinges on the opposite side to those of the  
tumble dryer.  
2. Secure the anti-tilt device using the  
screws as shown in the picture.  
Advice!  
To improve ventilation, leave the door to  
the room where the tumble dryer is located  
open.  
Caution!  
Any electrical installation must be carried  
out by authorised professionals.  
3. Attach the plastic cups that will hold the  
tumble dryer’s front feet to the washing ma-  
chine’s top cover.This is essential, as once  
the tumble dryer’s feet are resting in the  
plastic cups you know the dryer is correctly  
positioned on the washing machine.  
A. Freestanding  
The tumble dryer can be positioned beside  
the washing machine.  
B. Stacking  
The tumble dryer can be placed on top of  
an Asko washing machine. In this case you  
use the stacking attachments that come  
with the machine:  
2 foot cups.These can be found in a bag in  
the drum.  
2 anti-tilt devices.These come attached to  
the bottom left corner on the back of the  
machine.  
Extending plates can be ordered from your  
local retailer.  
17  
 
Break off tag A on the cup fitted on the right  
side and tag B on the cup fitted on the left  
side.Then remove the paper from the self-  
adhesive surface under the plastic cups.  
Air evacuation  
Waste air from the tumble dryer must be  
conducted to an evacuation duct or to an  
outlet through the wall by means of the ac-  
companying vent hose.  
A
Connection to the tumble dryer  
The tumble dryer has three options for air  
evacuation: at the back, on the right side  
and on the left side. One hole is open when  
delivered.The other two have covers.  
The tumble dryer comes with a connector  
(1), a plastic band (2) and a vent hose (3).  
B
4. Fit the plastic cups so that the “tags”  
marked with arrows are against the front  
edge of the cover and side edge and press  
firmly onto the cover.Then break off the  
remaining tags.

5. Push the tumble dryer in under the metal  
angles, keeping the front edge raised 1 - 2 cm.  
6. Lower the tumble dryer’s front feet into  
the plastic cups and adjust so that the dryer  
is balanced.  
Fit the air evacuation system as follows:  
1. Slip the vent hose onto the connector  
and secure using the plastic band.  
2. Remove the plastic cover if you want to fit  
the vent hose to one of the holes other than  
the one already open.  
3. Insert the connector with the vent hose  
into the opening.  
4. Place the cover over the open hole.  
Adjusting the feet  
Screw the feet in or out so that the tumble  
dryer is steady and balanced on the floor or  
on the washing machine.Then tighten the  
locking nuts.  
Locking nut  
18  
 
Connection to evacuation duct  
The vent hose must use the shortest and  
straightest route possible from the tumble  
dryer to the evacuation duct.Trim or cut the  
vent hose if it is too long. If necessary, the  
vent hose can be extended to a maximum  
of 8 metres (inner diameter 102 mm). If a  
longer hose is needed, a larger inner diam-  
eter is required in order to maintain the  
tumble dryer’s fan capacity.  
Any bends must be as gradual as possible.  
If 90º bends are necessary, there must be  
no more than four. Multiple bends reduce  
the tumble dryer’s fan capacity.  
Installation in a hot environment  
When installing in small rooms with high at-  
mospheric humidity where there is a risk of  
the temperature exceeding 25 °C, there is a  
risk of condensation water accumulating in  
a kink and obstructing the air flow, resulting  
in poor drying.  
In such situations the hose must be fitted  
horizontally (b) or downwards (c) from the  
tumble dryer.

Caution!  
Air from the tumble dryer must not be fed  
through ducts used for equipment that  
burns gas or other fuels.  
19  
 
Accessories  
If the vent hose runs to an outlet in the  
wall, you can prevent the inflow of cold air  
by fitting a ventilation grill. This grill can be  
installed either outside or inside.  
If there is only one evacuation duct from the  
room, a “draught check” must be fitted.  
Draught check  
These accessories can be purchased from  
your retailer.  
20  
 
Electrical installation  
The machine must only be connected to an  
earthed wall socket.  
Connection on delivery  
The machine is supplied as single-phase,  
230V, heat output 2500W (see type plate)  
and has a 16A fuse. Any earth fault fuses  
must be type A.  
Alternative connection  
It is possible to switch over from 16A (heat  
output 2500) to 10A (heat output 1950W).  
Switching must be carried out as follows:  
1. Shut off the power.  
2. Press and hold the Start/Stop button, and  
switch on the power.  
3. Release the Start/Stop button once the
