Installation
Drain outlet connection
The machine is supplied with the outlet hose
already attached. The hose should be extended
over a suitable sink edge or drain pipe at a height
of 24" to 36" (610 mm to 914 mm) above the
bottom of the unit. (The lower height is preferable.)
Make sure the hose is not kinked.
NOTE!
If the hose is extended, the internal diameter of
the coupling must not be less than ½".
WARNING!
Do not extend the drain hose higher than 36" (914
mm) from the bottom of the unit.
Electrical Connections
The machine is delivered ready-fitted with a plug
and is intended for connection to an ASKO Dryer,
which is equipped with a matching receptacle.
The plug supplied with the washer can only be
used with an ASKO Dryer. If the washer is used
separately or with another dryer, it must be on a
separate 208-240 V single-phase circuit.
If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the
supply must be protected by a residual current
device.
As supplied: 208-240 V, 60 Hz, 2000W heating
element,15A fuse required.
WARNING!
Connection to a permanently wired supply point
must be made only by a qualified electrician
Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Freestanding installation
The washer can be placed next to the dryer.
It is essential that the machine is leveled and
the locknuts are tightened to prevent excessive
vibration during spin cycles. Also be sure to leave a
minimum of ½" of space between the washer and
the dryer. The height adjustment for the washer is
33½" to 34½" (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise it
higher than 34½" (876 mm).
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Stacked installation
ASKO washers should never be stacked on a
counter or a dryer. You can, however, stack an
ASKO dryer on an ASKO washer. Refer to your
Dryer Use and Care Guide for instructions on how
to do this.
