BUILT-IN
ASKO dryers can be installed beneath a cabinet
or worktop with a minimum height of 34" (864
mm). There must be a gap of about 1/2" (12 mm)
all around the machine and a minimum gap of 1"
(25 mm) between the rear edge of the machine top
panel and the back wall. The opening width must be
at least 24-1/2" (622 mm).
The condensing models work best when they have
good air circulation.
Install the dryer so the condensed water will
continuously
fl
ow into a drain or sink. You will need
a drain outlet behind the unit. The maximum drain
height is 40" (1016 mm).
The height adjustment for the dryer is 33- 1/2" to
34-1/2" (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise it higher
than 34-1/2" (876 mm).
It is very important to avoid a buildup of heat.
The warm air that is expelled from the rear of the
dryer must be able to dissipate.
Warm air that 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.
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 o
ff
from
the dryer.
Closet Install- Ventilation Requirements
ASKO's front panel controls make it possible to
install the washers and dryers in a closet. Make sure
there is clearance between units and cabinet or wall
and a 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance between the
rear edge of the machine top panel and the cabinet
or wall. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend
louvered doors, particularly for condenser dryers.
Otherwise there must be ventilation openings in
the door. See illustration for minimum ventilation
openings below (gray boxes):
Ensure the dryer door can be opened without
hindrance after installation.
The cool air intake panel at the front of the dryer
must not be blocked or covered. Doing so could
cause an error.
