CLEANING Disconnect the dryer from the power mains and open the door towards you. Clean the dryer drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. No program can be started while the door is open.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION DRYER PLACEMENT The dryer can be either free standing or installed onto 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 available air. Free-standing appliance The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine. If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor is not sufficient, the dryer may move during operation.
Stacking on top of a washing machine To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B), supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum. Tipping guard part B is designed to fit on ASKO washing machines and it may be hard or impossible to mount on appliances of other brands.
How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO): There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard. 1 A B The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A + B). Use two screws to attach the A part to the back of the dryer. 1 2 Undo the screw on the back side of the washing machine. 3 Use the screw to attach the tipping guard (B part) to the back of the washing machine. 4 Level the washing machine so that it is stable. 1.
CHANGING THE DOOR OPENING DIRECTION To change the direction of door opening, proceed as follows. 12 1 Open the door fully. 2 Undo the screws and remove the door. 3 Use the screwdriver to remove the door lock cover and undo the screw on the door lock. 4 Push the door lock upwards and remove it. Move it to the other side and push it downwards. 5 Fasten the screw on the door lock. Replace the door lock cover. Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askousa.
Undo the door hinge assembly (left) and the door latch assembly (right), switch their positions, and replace the screws (door hinge assembly to the righthand side, door latch assembly to the left-hand side). 6 Use the screwdriver to remove the plastic part more easily. 7 Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily. Rotate the door glass cover by 90°so that the sign indicating the opening of the door is on the other side.
EVACUATION OF HUMID AIR Use the supplied air exhaust hose to convey the humid air from the dryer is through an opening (ventilation system, window etc.). Connecting the air exhaust hose to the dryer Fitting the air exhaust hose to another opening Instead of on the rear opening, the air exhaust hose can be fitted on one of the side openings. • Move the connection fitting from the rear opening (1) to the side opening. Then, connect the air exhaust hose and secure it with a clamp (2).
Connecting the air exhaust hose to a ventilation duct The air exhaust hose should be routed in shortest and straightest possible way to the ventilation system opening (air evacuation duct). Use a clamp to attach the air exhaust hose to the ventilation opening. If the air exhaust hose is too long, cut it to length. The distance between the dryer and the air evacuation opening (ventilation opening, window) may not exceed 3 metres. Otherwise, moisture could accumulate in the air exhaust hose.
See the separate installation instructions included in the set of documents. CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS Connection upon delivery TYPE: TDXX.XXXXX Art.No.: XXXXXX/XX XXX V ~ After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
