INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either freestanding or installed on
top of 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 ambient air.
Do not place the dryer in a room where
temperature can drop below 0 °C (32 °F), as the
machine may not operate correctly at such low
temperatures or may freeze, which can result in
damage to the machine.
For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with
adequate ventilation and a temperature between
10 °C (50 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F).
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding
doors, or doors with a hinge on the opposite side of
the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way
that the door can always be freely opened.
As this is an vented dryer, it does not have a
condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative
purpose and is
fi
xed; it is not intended for opening. If
excessive force is applied, the handle may break.
Never block the air vents.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long
fi
bres as this may impede air circulation.
If the appliance is installed on a plinth or a
similar structure, then the appliance must be
fi
xed to
it, to avoid the risk of falling.
ASKO original accessories are available for this
purpose, complete with
fi
xing instructions.
Freestanding appliance
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing
machine.
If the friction between the dryer feet and the
fl
oor is
not su
ffi
cient, the dryer may move during operation.
To prevent sliding, use a non-slide mat or install the
supplied vacuum feet onto both front feet.
Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit level to
level the dryer horizontally and vertically by rotating
the adjustable feet using a No. 22 (0.87") spanner
(max. 15 mm (0.59")). Then,
fi
rmly tighten the jam nuts
(counter nuts) by rotating them towards the appliance
bottom using a No. 17 (0.67") spanner
.
