not be obstructed by a carpet.
Before connecting the washing machine to the power
mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room
temperature.
Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet
intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
Before the first use of the washing machine, remove all
transit bolts (see chapter Before using the appliance for the
first time/ Transport protection). Warranty shall be void in cases
of such damage.
Connection to water and power supply has to be executed by
an adequately trained technician or expert.
To connect the washing machine to water supply, make
sure to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets. Water
pressure has to be between 14.5–145 PSI (0,1–1 MPa)
(approximately 14–142 PSI (1–10 kp/cm
2
), 1-10 bar, 14.5–145
PSI (10–100 N/cm
2
)).
Always use a new water supply hose to connect the washing

).
If the hoses are newly installed, we
recommend rinsing them to remove any
impurities. Otherwise, these impurities could
clog the filter in the water connection on the
washing machine and thus cut off the water
supply.
The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly
enough for the hose to have a good seal. After
connecting the hose, the seal must be
checked for any leaks.
INFORMATION!
The washing machine has a sensor that detects water leakage. If there is water on the bottom of
the washing machine, the sensor is activated and trigger a shut-off system to cut the water supply
to the washing machine; washing process is stopped, water supply is shut off, the appliance
engages the pump, and signals an error.
INFORMATION!
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not attempt to install any used
hoses or hoses not supplied by ASKO.
24
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
If the connection on the supply hose is of different dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4” (1,9
cm) → 1/2” (1,22 cm), use an adapter.
INFORMATION!
When connecting the water supply hose, make sure to connect it in a way that allows adequate
and unobstructed water supply.
Installing the drain hose
Upon delivery, the washing machine has a
drain hose attached to the back wall (Figure
1), which must be connected to the drain.
1
INFORMATION!
If the drain hose is not correctly attached,
safe and correct washing machine
operation cannot be ensured.
The drain hose can be installed in three ways
(see Figure 2):
1 Into a wall drain with a siphon (A), which
must be properly installed so that it can be
cleaned;
2 Into a sink or bathtub (B). Use a string to
attach the hose through the opening in the
elbow so that it does not slip to the floor;
3 Directly into the sink drain (C). The diameter
of the drain hose must be at least 1 5/8" (4 cm).
The internal hose diameter should be at least
3/4" (18 mm) (D).
The end of the drain hose can be no more than 35 7/16" (900 mm) and at least 23 5/8" (600 mm)
mm from the ground. The lower position (23 5/8" (60 cm)) is always recommended. Make sure the
drain hose is not bent.
25
Installation and connection
INFORMATION!
If the hose is extended, the internal diameter of the coupling must not be less than 1/2" (12.2

Special features
This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing.
Before using the washing machine, carefully remove any solid objects and particles from the textiles
you intend to wash to prevent damage to the appliance or clogging of the pump filter. This includes
(also check all pockets and flaps):
• solid objects (e.g., screws, clips, small stones, hay, etc.),
• food residues (e.g., bones, dried dough, etc.),
• dried particles of construction materials (e.g., mortar, sand, mud, etc.).
WARNING!
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for malfunctions resulting from failure to follow these
instructions, which may also affect the validity of the warranty. Furthermore, the manufacturer
does not cover service costs in the event of foreign objects in the pump or pump cleaning.
Laundry sorting
Sort the laundry according to:
• how soiled it is,
• color,
• material,
• recommended washing temperature.
Clothing
• Sort the laundry by type of fabric, color, soiling, and recommended washing temperature (see
Program table).
• Wash the laundry that sheds a lot of fiber or lint separately from other laundry.
• Empty the pockets. Coins, nails etc. could damage the machine and the fabric.
• Close the buttons and zippers, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out; remove any
metal clips that could damage the laundry and washing machine interior, or clog the drain.
• Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and color fading.
• Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
(A dedicated textile bag can be purchased separately.)

Tips before washing
Laundry types
Dyed cotton
Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 104 °F (40 °C) should be first washed at a
temperature of 140 °F (60 °C) to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye
being washed out of such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent.
Unbleached linen
Unbleached linen fabrics should be washed at 140 °F (60 °C) with a detergent free of bleach or
optical bleaching agents. Heavily soiled linen laundry may be occasionally washed at higher
temperatures, but do not do this too often as heat could ruin the shine and strength of linen laundry.
Wool
These fabrics are intended for either machine or hand wash. The Wool/Hand Wash program is equally
gentle or even gentler than an actual hand wash.
Wool in particular is sensitive to washing and similar procedures.
When selecting the Wool/Hand wash program use wool detergent and avoid using fabric softener.
If you do not wish to spin your clothes, select a setting without spinning (see chapter STEP 6: Choosing
the program settings). However, most clothes are able to withstand a short spinning period. Top
spinning speed available is 800 rpm.
Viscose and synthetic fibres
Materials made of viscose and some synthetic fibers are highly sensitive, and require a lot of space
in order not to crease. When washing fill the recommended load for the program and choose a
program with spinning speed of no more than 1200 rpm.
INFORMATION!
Viscose and acetates are fragile when wet.
Reducing allergic reactions
Possibility of washing with the Anti-Allergy Synthetics program. This program, program settings, and
features should be used for people with sensitive skin, such as those suffering from allergies, or
small children. We recommend turning the garments inside out as this will also thoroughly wash out
the skin residues.
Saving time and energy
Save time by using Speed mode and save power with the Eco (ecological) washing mode (Green
mode).
Economy and efficiency
You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures.
Select the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry or use the Time program (Time
program). This will save water and power.
44
Tips before washing
Selecting the maximum spinning speed will reduce power consumption if you dry the clothes in a
dryer or a drying cabinet.
Detergents
INFORMATION!
Detergents carrying the environment protection label are less harmful to the environment.
Only use detergents for machine washing.
When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent
clogging the dispenser tray drain.
Liquid detergents are intended for washing programes without a prewash cycle.
Only add the detergents in compliance with the recommendations by detergent manufacturers.
Recommended amount of washing detergent at certain loads and water hardness levels are specified
on the detergent packaging.
Dosing accessories
To correctly dose detergents, especially liquid ones, use the accessories provided by the detergent
manufacturer.
Stains
If your clothes are soiled with stubborn stains (blood, eggs, coffee, grass etc.), they should be
appropriately treated before the wash. Then, wash your laundry using the special programs (if your
washing machine has them).
Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the
environment on less stubborn stains.
However, prompt action is required! Soak the stain with an absorbent sponge or a paper towel; then,
rinse with cold (lukewarm) water – but never with hot water!
When using bleaches or stain removal agents, there is danger of rust (corrosion) and discoloration.
WARNING!
To protect the environment, we advise against using powerful chemicals.
Do not use any chemical substances or agents; only use the stain removing detergents.
Dyeing fabrics
If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, choose the Cotton program with the option to select the
Super rinse function. Choose the temperature according to the dye manufacturer's recommendations.
If you dye mixed fabrics, such as polyester/cotton, choose a low spinning speed.
After dyeing use the Drum Cleaning program. Use the usual amount of detergent.
When using bleaches or stain removal agents, there is danger of rust (corrosion) and discoloration.
45
Tips before washing
WARNING!
To protect the environment, we advise against using powerful chemicals.
If you wash at low temperatures and/or with liquid detergents, there is a risk of developing
microorganisms and an unpleasant odor in the washing machine. Leave the washing machine door
open after each wash to allow the appliance to dry. If you detect an unpleasant odor, run the Drum
Cleaning programe.
To prevent and remove limescale deposits only use agents with added anti-corrosion protection.
Observe the cleaning agent manufacturer's instructions. To remove limescale deposits, we
recommend starting the Drum Cleaning programe. Add spirit vinegar (6.7 fl oz. (2 dl)).
We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use
of energy and less optimal washing machine performance.
You can save energy and water by filling up the washing machine to the capacity specified by the
manufacturer for each programe.
46
Tips before washing
STEP 1: Sort the laundry

STEP 4: Add the detergent and the softener
Recommended amount of detergent is usually specified on the detergent packaging. When washing
a smaller amount of laundry, the amount of detergent used can be decreased.
Observe manufacturers' recommendations regarding the type of detergent suitable for certain
temperatures, load size, and water hardness.
When using ADS, the appliance will automatically add the liquid detergent and the softener depending
on the amount of laundry and the other settings.
47
Operating instructions - Washing step by step (1 – 8)
Powder detergent
Only dispense the powder detergent into the front main wash/hand wash compartment »MainWash«.
Do not put any powder detergent in the container for ADS.
INFORMATION!
We recommend adding the powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. Otherwise,
make sure the detergent compartment is completely dry before adding the powder detergent,
as otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid detergent and softeners, follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations.
When using thick detergents, we always recommend using the laundry balls. In the detergent
compartment, use the separator (3); see figure in the chapter Description of the washing machine
Washing machine description Detergent compartment with Auto dose system (ADS).
Add the liquid detergent to the Main wash dispenser (1) or into the tank A or B for ADS.
Liquid detergent in ADS
The washing machine will automatically add the amount of liquid detergent and softener depending
on the amount of your laundry and how heavily soiled it is.
Compartment (A) for liquid detergent for: colored, white, black, delicate or other laundry.
Compartment (B) for liquid detergent for different types of laundry, softener or other rinse aids.
See chapter: Special features.
In case of excessive foaming, check the water hardness settings (see chapter Appliance settings/
Water hardness ), how heavily soiled the laundry is and the setting for the amount of liquid detergent
according to the manufacturer's recommendations (see chapter Tips before washing).
INFORMATION!
Use of other non-homogenised or homemade liquid detergents can cause malfunction of the
ADS. Any servicing required due to such problems shall not be covered by the warranty.
The ADS function is tested with liquid detergents from the world's leading manufacturers.
Do not mix different liquid detergents. When changing the liquid detergent, the tanks need to be
cleaned.
Laundry capsules, ball, or washing net
If you use laundry capsules, a ball, or a washing net, place it directly in the drum and select a program
without prewash.
INFORMATION!
An excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results. Rather, it will lead to foaming
and increase the environmental impact. We recommend using less detergent. Only increase the
dosage if you are not satisfied with the washing results.

68
Cleaning and Maintenance
INFORMATION!
We recommend regular cleaning of the pump filter once a month. When washing very fleecy,
very dirty or old laundry, do it more often.
Cleaning the exterior of the appliance
Clean the appliance exterior and the display using a soft damp cotton
cloth and water. Do not use any solvents or abrasive cleaners that
could damage the appliance (please observe the recommendations
and warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents).
INFORMATION!
Do not clean the machine with a jet of water!
After every wash, wipe the rubber door gasket and remove any objects
that may have become stuck in the gasket to extend its useful life.
Preventing odors
Modern detergents often allow washing clothes at low temperatures. This means that residue may
accumulate in the washing machine, which in turn could cause odors.
To avoid bad odors, we recommend running the Drum Cleaning program once per month . Use a
small amount of powder detergent, without any laundry.
If you have hard water
If you are washing with hard water (high limescale content), a greyish-white coating may appear on
the washing machine drum. Remove this coating by pouring alcohol vinegar (pickling vinegar) into
the washing machine drum (approx. 2 dl) or sodium bicarbonate (1 tablespoon or 15 g) and select
any program in which the temperature reaches 90 °C or the Drum cleaning program. See chapter
STEP 5: Program table.
Repeat the process as necessary.
For the water hardness adjustment procedure see chapter Appliance settings/ Water hardness .
69
Cleaning and Maintenance
Disturbances from the environment (e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports (see
table below: Fault/Error). In such case:
• Switch off the appliance, wait for at least 1 minute, switch on the appliance again and repeat
the washing program.
• If the error persists, call an authorized service center.
• Most interferences during operation can be resolved by the user (see table below: Fault/Error).

which in turn leads to longer program duration. In extreme cases of unfavorable conditions, the
program can be completed without the spinning cycle.
The UKS* (*stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer washing machine useful
life.
If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorized service technician.

Due to the influence of water pressure, hardness, and inlet temperature, the type, quantity, and
soiling of the laundry, the detergent used, power supply, and selected functions, the actual
values may differ from the specified values.
1
The above table includes several examples of the use of energy, water, and time for several different
program settings. Actual consumption or duration may vary depending on the water pressure, water
hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, weight and type of load, changes in power
supply, and selected options or settings. In the examples specified here, the draining is set to Normal
and no additional options are selected.
Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.
84
Table of consumption values
Adjustment of the displayed washing time
Advanced technology allows the appliance to sense the amount of laundry and add the required
amount of water during the washing process. Depending on the washing load, washing time can
be longer or shorter and the time displayed will be adjusted accordingly.
Moreover, displayed washing time may change due to differences in inlet water temperature. At low
inlet water temperatures, washing time can be longer; at higher temperatures, it can be shorter.
Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems
such as vibration and noisy operation. The appliance can sense such lumps and will try to redistribute
the laundry. Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of
materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the
washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute
the laundry, which in turn leads to longer program duration.
