MANAGEMENT OF END-OF-LIFE
DRYING CABINET
When the drying cabinet has reached the
end of its useful life, it must be taken to a
recycling centre for disposal. Many parts of
the drying cabinet can be re-used, but it also
contains other material that must be handled
correctly. You should therefore never leave
the drying cabinet or parts of the cabinet for
collection with household waste, as this may
lead to risks to health and cause damage to
the environment.
The end-of-life drying cabinet should instead
be taken to a recycling centre. Check with
your dealer if necessary.
All the plastic parts of the drying cabinet are
marked with internationally standardised
symbols. The parts of the drying cabinet can
therefore be recycled in an environmentally
sound manner by waste separation.

EVACUATION / AIR SUPPLY
When the cabinet is on, 45 m
3
moist air per hour is evacuated. It must therefore be ensured that
air can enter the room to replace the moist air that is vented out.
CONNECTION TO EVACUATION
The drying cabinet can be connected to the evacuation duct in two ways, either with a draft
stabiliser or permanently fi tted to a mechanical exhaust ventilation unit.
If the drying cabinet is to be connected to an existing ventilation system, a draft stabiliser must
always be used, so that the general ventilation in the room is not affected.
Permanent fi tting must only be carried out when a separate exhaust-air duct is routed to the
drying cabinet, the air fl ow in the exhaust-air duct being adjusted to 45 m
3
per hour.
The drying cabinet has been tested and factory-set for connection with a draft stabiliser.
Place the supplied spigot over the hole
on the top of the cabinet, insert the
screws and secure the spigot.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
___________________________________
The drying cabinet should be connected to
an earthed wall socket using the connecting
cable supplied and must not be permanently
wired.
___________________________________
___________________________________
The socket should be located so that the
plug can be easily pulled out if necessary.
___________________________________
___________________________________
Check that the supply current matches the
data on the rating plate and that the mains
lead is earthed correctly according to current
standard. We recommend that the power
cord be fitted with a residual current de-
vice (RCD).
___________________________________
___________________________________
The drying cabinet must be connected to a
dedicated circuit.
______________________________________
______________________________________
Do not connect the drying cabinet to the
power supply with an extension lead as the
necessary safety cannot be guaranteed (risk
of overheating).
______________________________________
___________________________________
The manufacturer disclaims all liability if the
electrical connection has not been carried
out in the way described in this use and
care manual.
______________________________________
The drying cabinet is connected to a 230 V single-phase 50-60 Hz and protectively earthed
wall socket.
Fuse 10 A.
The drying cabinet is supplied ready for connection with a cable and an earthed plug.
____________________________
CAUTION
A damaged connecting cable may only
be replaced with a special connecting
cable of the same type (can be ordered
from Asko’s spare parts department). For
safety reasons, the replacement may be
carried out only by a qualified electrician
or by Asko Service.

BEFORE USING THE DRYING CABINET
___________________________________
Read this User Manual before
starting the drying cabinet.
______________________________________
_____________________________
CAUTION
Read the safety instructions on page 4
before using the cabinet.
____________________________________
Make sure that the cabinet is fi rmly at-
tached to the wall. See page 16.
Make sure that no packaging material has
been left behind.
Use a mild detergent with hot water and
wash the inside and outside of the drying
cabinet. Dry carefully. See also the ‘Care’
section later in the manual.
21
There are three sections with hangers in the
cabinet. Each section has a number of rails
for hanging laundry.
Hang the items in the drying cabinet
according to how much space they require
- not according to their weight.
For most effi cient drying, do not lay item
fl at on the upper hanger section.
Long items of clothing closest to the
walls of the cabinet and shorter items
towards the centre of the cabinet. The
most effi cient drying results are achieved
by hanging the items in this way.
Fold up the two bottom hanger sections
if long items are to be dried.
Hang gloves, caps, scarves and similar
items on the door hangers/glove hangers
on the inside of the door.
To make it easier, extend the hanger sec-
tion when hanging laundry.
Do not overload the drying cabinet. If
you do, the laundry will become creased
and dry unevenly. Instead, leave a space
between the items of clothing if possible.
If there is a risk of particular items shedding
colour, free space should be left around
them.
Avoid drying heavy items of clothing to-
gether with lighter items as they have very
different drying times.
Do not hang knitted items. These will
stretch unnecessarily as they are heavy
when wet.
CABINET EQUIPPED WITH COAT
HANGER RACK AND SHOE RACK
For more efficient drying, hang shirts,
jackets, etc. on clothes hangers and hang
these on the clothes hanger rack.
Use the shoe rack for more effi cient drying
of shoes.
USER TIPS
Always following the laundry instructions
on the item of clothing if present.
If a fabric conditioner or anti-static agent
is used, follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for use of this product.
Remove laundry that it is already dry.
This will reduce drying time for remaining
laundry.
OPERATION
AIR FLOW
The illustration shows
the air fl ow in the dry-
ing cabinet.
Keep the area
around the evacu-
ation duct clear of
dust and dirt.
Make sure that the
air intake and ex-
haust duct are not
blocked.
_____________________________
NB
When the cabinet is cold it may happen
that the sealing strip of the door does not
close completely. However, this is fully
compensated when the cabinet is operat-
ing with heat as the sealing strip expands.

ARRANGING LAUNDRY FOR DRYING
22
DRYING PROGRAMMES
This drying cabinet is equipped with automatic programmes and manual drying programmes
for effi cient drying of fabrics of different kinds.
The automatic programmes automatically switch off the drying process when the fabrics are
dry. During the last 10 minutes, the heat is switched off while the fan cools down the fabrics
(cool-down period).
The manually time-controlled programmes stop after a set time has been counted down.
Cooling also takes place in the last 10 minutes of drying time in this case.
AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMES
Aut 40° Normal dry. Used for drying items of normal thickness.
Aut 40° Extra dry. Used for drying thicker items, deep drying.
Aut 60° Normal dry. Used for drying items of normal thickness.
Aut 60° Extra dry. Used for drying thicker items, deep drying.
40° or 60°
is selected taking account of the washing instructions for the item.
MANUAL PROGRAMMES
Man 30°. A time-controlled drying programme that should be selected for sensitive fab-
rics that should not be exposed to temperatures above 30°.
Man 40°. As above, but a somewhat higher drying temperature is allowed.
Man 60°. As above, but the fabrics can be dried at max. 60°.
Man --. This is a very energy-efficient drying programme without heat, only the fan
dries the laundry.

The programme Aut 60° Extra is controlled via temp sensor exhaust air and a time factor.
The automatic programmes end automatically when the laundry is dry.
To decide when the laundry is dry, the actual exhaust air temperature is compared against a
parameter, P2014 for 40° programme and P2024 for 60° programme.
For Aut 40° Extra an extra drying time is additionally added according to parameter P2015.
For Aut 60° Extra an extra drying time is additionally added according to parameter P2025.
It is primarily these four parameters that are adjusted to optimise the drying processes of the
automatic programmes.
Aut 40° Normal and Aut 40° Extra are adjusted with parameter P2014.
Aut 40° Extra is additionally adjusted with parameter P2015 (extra drying time).
Aut 60° Normal and Aut 60° Extra is adjusted with parameter P2024.
Aut 60° Extra is additionally adjusted with parameter P2025 (extra drying time).
If it is found that the laundry does not dry suffi ciently, the parameter value is increased.
If it is found that the laundry is over-dried, long drying time, the parameter value is reduced.
Optimisation of drying processes must always take place in small steps, start by adjusting the
parameter concerned one to two units up or down. Then check the result after the next drying
process and make any further adjustment necessary.

CARE
Clean the walls of the cabinet with a mild
soap solution on a damp cloth.
Dust tends to collect around the air intake
on the top of the cabinet. This can cause
disruption, in turn leading to breakdowns
in operation.
To avoid these problems, the air intake
and the roof of the cabinet should be
vacuumed at least once a year, or more
often depending on the environment the
cabinet is positioned in.

OVERHEAT CUT-OUT
The cabinet is equipped with an overheat cut-out which is
automatically restored when the temperature in the cabinet has
fallen to an acceptable level. The time to restore varies from 10
to 15 minutes after the overheat cut-out has been activated.
When the overheat cut-out has been tripped, the cabinet
cannot be started.
If this has happened - always make a new attempt to start
after 15 minutes before reporting a fault.
