(max. 9/16" (15 mm)).
Then, firmly tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts)
by rotating them towards the appliance bottom
using a No. 11/16'' (17) wrench .
19
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
Incorrect leveling of the dryer with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, appliance sliding
across the floor, and loud operation. Incorrect leveling of the dryer is not covered by the warranty.
INFORMATION!
Sometimes, unusual or louder noises may occur during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.
Installation under the counter
ASKO dryers can be installed under a counter
or a countertop that is at least 34" (864 mm)
high, measured from the floor to the underside
of the countertop. There must be a clearance
of at least 1/2" (12 mm) on all sides of the
appliance. There must be a minimum
clearance of 1" (25 mm) between the rear edge
of the appliance's top panel and the wall
behind it. The width of the opening or niche
where the appliance is to be installed must be
at least 24 1/2" (624 mm), measured between
the side walls of the niche.

The height adjustment for the dryer is between 33 1/2" (850 mm) to 34 1/2" (876 mm). Do not
raise the appliance higher than 34 1/2" (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 can be avoided by:
• Creating a gap for the dryer in the kitchen cabinet toe space.
• Creating ventilation gaps in the surroundings.
When built in, drying times may be longer.
20
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
The dryer should not be installed next to a refrigeration appliance. The warm air expelled from
the back of the dryer can increase the temperature around the refrigeration appliance’s heat
exchanger, causing the compressor to run continuously. If it is not possible to install the dryer
elsewhere, the refrigeration appliance must be properly sealed off from the dryer.
Stacking on top of a washing machine
WARNING!
At least two people are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.

This chapter includes several advice on how to prepare the laundry for 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 table).
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 a mixed load contains a single, particularly 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.
38
Advice before drying
Materials (fabrics) suitable for drying in a tumble dryer
This symbol indicates the material is suitable for tumble drying. Clothes dried in a tumble
dryer will be softer and lighter than air-dried clothes.

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 from your dealer (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.
