6
Safety precautions
• 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.
• Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
• After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours
before it is connected to the power mains.
• The tumble dryer may not be in contact with a wall or
adjacent furniture.
• Place the dryer on a level and stable solid (concrete) base.
• 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.
• At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer

7
Safety precautions
• In case of incorrect dryer connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear
the cost of any damage as such damage shall not be
covered by warranty.
• In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by
authorized manufacturers.
DANGER OF FIRE!
The refrigerant R290 in this appliance is environmentally
friendly yet combustible and may ignite if it comes into
contact with open flames or ignition sources. Keep naked
flames and ignition sources away from the appliance.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Safe use
DANGER OF FIRE!
Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned
with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.
DANGER OF FIRE!
Remove all objects such as lighters and matches from the
pockets.
• Do not dry unwashed laundry in the dryer.
• If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or
chemical substances, do not dry them in the dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be
washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent
before being dried in the tumble dryer.
8
Safety precautions
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the tumble dryer.
• Oil-aff ected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in
the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape,
the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-aff ected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or
cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products shall be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi
rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• The system consists of a compressor and a heat
exchanger. When the dryer is started, compressor operation
(the sound of flowing liquid) or flow of refrigerant may be
louder as long as the compressor operates. This is not a
sign of malfunction and it will not affect useful life of the
dryer. In time and with use of the dryer this noise will
become quieter.
• The dryer uses a heat pump system to heat the air.
• The lint filter has to be cleaned frequently.
Clean the dryer filters after each drying cycle. If you have
removed the filters, replace them before the next drying
cycle.
• Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance
with manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could
damage the dryer (please observe the recommendations
and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning
agents).
9
Safety precautions
• Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners,
or all-purpose cleaners.
• Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate
tank (see chapter Dryer description and Emptying the
condense tank).
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• Fill steam generators only with liquids specified by the
manufacturer.
• A float will switch off the appliance if the condensed water
pipe is clogged or if there is a risk of overflowing of the
condensed water accumulated in the condensed water tank
with a heat pump.
• If the condensate tube is blocked or clogged, then tumble
dryer operation is stopped (see chapter Emptying the
condense tank).
• After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord
from the power outlet.
Storage during the winter
Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated
room during the winter, the condensate tank has to be
emptied.

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.
WARNING!
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
WARNING!
Never block the air vents.
14
Installation and connection
Clearance around the dryer for optimum operation
WARNING!
The dryer may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation,
we recommend observing the clearance from the walls as indicated in the figure. In case of failure
to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.
For safety reasons, the minimum distance
between the back of the appliance and the
wall must be at least 25 mm, and the distance
between the appliance and any furniture above
it must be at least 40 mm.
For installing the dryer into the cabinet, please
refer to the special installation requirements in
section Built-in.
Opening the door of the dryer (top view).
The dryer door width (a) is 503 mm.
The dryer depth with door open (b) is 1248,2
mm.
The dryer door can be opened up to the angle
of 180°.
15
Installation and connection
Placement on a pedestal
INFORMATION!
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 there is insufficient friction between the dryer
feet and the floor, the dryer may slide during
operation.
To prevent any sliding, use a non-slide mat.
Adjusting the dryer 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. 32 spanner
(max. 15 mm).
16
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
Incorrect levelling of the dryer with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, appliance sliding
across the room, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the dryer shall not be subject to
warranty.
INFORMATION!
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.
Installation under the counter
ASKO dryers can be installed under a furniture
unit or worktop which is at a height of at least
864 mm (measured from the floor to the bottom
surface of the counter). On all sides of the
appliance, there must be at least 12 mm of
room. Between the rear edge of the top panel
of the appliance and the wall behind the
appliance, the clearance must be at least
25 mm. The width of the opening in which you
want to insert the appliance must be at least
624 mm (measured between the sides that
limit the opening). The condenser models work
best when there is sufficient 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 1000 mm.
INFORMATION!
The height adjustment for the dryer is between 850 mm to 876 mm. Do not raise the appliance
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.
17
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
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.
Stacking on top of a washing machine
WARNING!
At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
To stack the dryer on top of a washing
machine, use the front feet (plastic footrests

Installation and connection
Draining the condensate
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate
tank. The condensate tank has to be emptied regularly (see chapter Emptying the condense tank).
To avoid emptying and interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank, run the condensate
drain pipe located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain (see chapter System settings).
1 Remove the long ribbed hose from the
attachment (A). Disconnect the hose from the
hose attachment and in all places at the rear
wall.
Always use hoses that are supplied with the
appliance.
2 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.
INFORMATION!
Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not under tension, clamped, or bent.
WARNING!
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.
WARNING!
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.

Initial settings before use
This chapter includes several advices on how to prepare the laundry from drying.
Laundry sorting
Sort the laundry according to the type and thickness of the fabric.
For the most even drying, make sure the laundry is made of a similar material.
Clothing
1. Sort the laundry by type and thickness of the fabric (see Program chart).
2. Close the buttons and zippers, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out; remove any
metal clips that could damage the laundry and tumble dryer interior.
3. Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
INFORMATION!
Do not insert laundry into the dryer if it has not been wrung or spun (recommended minimum
spinning cycle: 800 rpm).
Higher spinning speeds will save energy and cut drying time.
INFORMATION!
If you decide to dry only one large item, we recommend drying it separately from smaller items
of laundry.
INFORMATION!
Turn printed garments inside out before drying. To reduce the risk of heat damage to the prints,
use the Delicate drying mode.
33
Advices before drying
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.
INFORMATION!
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.
Materials that are not suitable for drying in a tumble dryer
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be deformed is not recommended.
The following types of laundry may not be dried in the dryer as this may cause your garments to
deform:
• leather garments and other leather products,
• garments that are waxed or treated in any other way,
• garments with major wooden, plastic, or metal parts;
• garments with spangles;
• garments with metal parts subject to rusting.

Advices before drying
STEP 1: Sort the fabrics
See chapter Advices before drying.
INFORMATION!
Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric.
STEP 2: Turn on the main switch
On / Off
Press the On/Off button.
STEP 3: Open the dryer door and insert the laundry.
Open the dryer door towards you.
Place the laundry into the empty dryer drum. Make sure there aren't any other objects among the
laundry, such as a detergent ball. Such objects could melt and cause damage to the dryer or your
laundry.
Do not overload the drum! (See program table and observe your nominal load as indicated on the
rating plate.) If the dryer drum is overloaded, the laundry will be more wrinkled and perhaps unevenly
dried.
WARNING!
Before inserting or removing fabrics, we recommend that the lint filter is always placed in its
designated opening. This is the only way to prevent a piece of clothing or other fabric from falling
into the open space.
36
Drying process, step by step (1–7)
INFORMATION!
There is an LED light inside the dryer drum.
The light in the dryer drum is not suitable for any other use.
The light in the dryer drum may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician or
an authorized person.
37
Drying process, step by step (1–7)
Drying in a basket
INFORMATION!
Before the first drying cycle, remove the basket and all packaging from the drum.
Laundry may only be dried in the basket when using Time program. The basket is available for
purchase as an optional accessory at the service centre (ART. No.: 914908).
The drying basket consists of two connected parts; before installation,
it must be unfolded into its final shape.
1 Open the dryer door and insert the drying basket. If you attempt to
insert the basket straight in, it will not fit properly into the dryer.
For easier installation, we recommend removing the lint filter beforehand.
Simply pull the lint filter upward to remove it. See chapter Cleaning the
lint filter.
2 Once the drying basket is inside the dryer, first attach it to the
designated holder on the upper part of the rim, located inside the dryer,
as shown in the figure.
3 After securing the basket at the top, position the lower part by pulling
the left and right sides into place until the basket locks into the
designated openings near the lint filter.
If you have removed the lint filter, reinsert it now.
Once the basket is correctly installed, check that it is securely and firmly
attached.
4 The basket can be used to dry sports shoes, slippers, or items that
you do not want to be tumbled inside the dryer drum (max. load: 4 kg).
After the drying process, remove the drying basket and close the dryer door.
Only dry clean sports shoes or slippers that have been sufficiently wrung out after washing to prevent
water from dripping. The basket remains stationary while the drum rotates, so ensure that the items
being dried do not touch the drum to avoid potential damage to both the items and the dryer.

whenever necessary. If the appliance is being used with a selfcleaning system, perform cleaning
after every 30 cycles or whenever necessary.
51
Cleaning and maintenance
4 Carefully detach the lining of fibres and
threads from the lint filter, and also clean the
second lint filter housing with a soft cloth.
If the heat exchanger fins are covered with dust and dirt, you can clean them using a vacuum cleaner
with a soft brush attachment.
WARNING!
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.
INFORMATION!
Second part of the hosing contains a lint and a filter foam which shall be cleaned thoroughly.
5 Reassemble the foam filter and the second
lint filter housing.
The second lint filter must be tilted and
inserted back into the dryer at a slight incline
with the handle open.
6 Close the handle and close the outer cover.
INFORMATION!
The heat pump filter has to be correctly placed into its slot. Otherwise, the heat exchanger installed
inside the dryer may be clogged.
WARNING!
Insufficient cleaning of the filters in the dryer can lead to reduced drying efficiency, increased
energy consumption, overheating of the appliance, and a higher risk of fire and mechanical
damage. Regular cleaning of the filters will ensure optimal appliance performance, shorter drying
times, and minimal energy consumption.
52
Cleaning and maintenance
Emptying the condense tank
INFORMATION!
After each drying cycle, empty the condense tank.
If the condense tank is overflowing the drying program will be paused automatically.
A warning will appear on the display that the condense tank has to be emptied.
If the setting for draining condensed water to the drain is enabled, this warning will not be displayed.
1 Pull out the condense tank from the dryer
(using both hands as shown in the figure), then
slowly turn it upside down over a washbasin,
sink, or any suitable vessel.
2 Discharge the water through the condense
drain opening.
Replace the condense tank into the dryer
housing.
INFORMATION!
Water from the condense tank is not drinkable. If thoroughly filtered, it can be used for ironing.
WARNING!
Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condense tank.
INFORMATION!
Condense 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).
INFORMATION!
Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated room during the winter, the condensate
tank has to be emptied.

Errors: what to do?
What to do?CauseProblem/
Error
The noise will subside without any intervention.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.
A slight hitting
noise appears.
Reduce the amount of laundry.Excessive load on the door (too
much laundry in the drum).
The door opens

room; room that is too cold; or
room that is too small and the
air overheats as a result.
Check if the temperature in the room where
the dryer is installed is too high or too low.
If the load is still wet after completed drying
cycle, an appropriate drying program should
be run again (after cleaning filters).
Laundry was not sufficiently
wrung or spun.
Use a suitable program or extra functions.Amount of laundry dried in the
appliance is too large or
insufficient.
Close the buttons or zippers on the laundry
before drying. Select a suitable programme
