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.
Built-in installation
ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet
or worktop with a height of 34" to 35" (863 to 889
mm) or in a closet. There must be a gap of about
½" (12 mm) all around the machine, including
between the rear edge of the machine's top panel
and the back wall. The opening width must be at
least 24½" (622 mm). Space must also be
available for the fill and drain hoses. See the
illustration below for measurements and positions.
If the washer is installed in a closet the door must
be left open while the washer is running.
If the drain outlet is higher than 24"(610 mm), the
connections will need to be recessed.
