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.
