DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either free standing 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, as the machine
may not operate correctly at such low temperatures,
or freeze, which in turn 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 and 25 °C.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding
door, or door 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.
Never block the air vents.
At least two persons are required to install the
tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long
fi bres as this may impede air circulation.
Free-standing appliance
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing
machine.
If the friction between the dryer feet and the fl oor is
not suffi 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 in longitudinal and traverse
direction by rotating the adjustable feet using a No.
22 spanner (max. 15 mm). Then, fi rmly tighten the
jam nuts (counter nuts) by rotating them towards the
appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, connection, and maintenance of a dryer, including details on its placement, door opening direction, condensate draining, and electrical connection.

Function Description

The dryer is designed to extract moisture from laundry through a condenser unit, accumulating the water in a condensate tank. It can be operated as a free-standing appliance or stacked on top of a washing machine. The appliance is designed for domestic use, providing a convenient way to dry clothes.

Usage Features

Installation and Placement:

  • Initial Setup: After transport or servicing where the dryer was laid on its side, it must be placed with its left side (viewing from the front) downwards and allowed to stand for 24 hours before first use. This allows internal components, particularly the refrigerant, to settle.
  • Free-standing: The dryer can be placed next to a washing machine. If the dryer tends to slide during operation due to insufficient friction with the floor, a non-slide mat should be used, or the supplied vacuum feet should be installed on both front feet to enhance stability.
  • Room Environment: The dryer emits heat, so it should not be placed in very small rooms, as this can prolong the drying process due to limited ambient air. Optimal operation requires installation in a room with adequate ventilation and a temperature between 10 °C and 25 °C. It is crucial to avoid placing the dryer in rooms where temperatures can drop below 0 °C, as this can lead to incorrect operation, freezing, and potential damage to the machine.
  • Door Clearance: The dryer should not be placed behind a lockable or sliding door, or a door with a hinge opposite to the dryer door hinge. The installation must ensure that the dryer door can always be opened freely.
  • Air Vents: The air vents of the dryer must never be blocked to ensure proper air circulation and efficient drying.
  • Carpet Placement: Avoid placing the dryer on a carpet with long fibers, as this can impede air circulation and affect performance.
  • Leveling: The dryer must be placed on a stable surface and leveled using a spirit level. This is achieved by rotating the adjustable feet with a No. 22 spanner (maximum 15 mm adjustment). After leveling, the jam nuts (counter nuts) must be firmly tightened towards the appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner to secure the feet.
  • Clearance: For optimum dryer operation, the appliance should not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. Specific clearances (e.g., 100 mm at the top and back, 50 mm at the sides) are recommended.

Stacking on a Washing Machine:

  • Requirements: To stack the dryer on a washing machine, the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (parts A+B) supplied in the dryer drum's cardboard box must be used. The tipping guard part B is specifically designed for ASKO washing machines and may be difficult or impossible to mount on other brands.
  • Compatibility: If the washing machine and dryer dimensions do not match, or if a "hidden helper" (an intermediate accessory) has been installed between the two appliances, binding plates are available as optional accessories from the service center. These binding plates are specifically for HH (accessory Hidden Helpers) and TD75 stacked on WM80 or WM85 models and are not intended for other combinations.
  • Washing Machine Capacity: All ASKO washing machines can bear the weight of the dryer. However, it is essential to ensure that the specific washing machine on which the dryer is to be installed can bear the dryer's weight, as indicated on the washing machine's rating plate or technical information.
  • Stacking Procedure (ASKO):
    1. Tipping Guard Assembly: The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A + B). Part A is attached to the back of the dryer using two screws.
    2. Washing Machine Preparation: Undo the screw on the back of the washing machine. Use this screw to attach tipping guard part B to the back of the washing machine.
    3. Leveling the Washing Machine: Ensure the washing machine is stable. Level it by rotating its adjustable feet with a No. 32 spanner (allowing +/- 1 cm adjustment). After adjusting, firmly tighten the jam nuts using a No. 17 spanner, turning them towards the bottom of the washing machine.
    4. Setting Dryer Feet: Tighten the front two dryer feet all the way in. Undo the back feet by 3.5 turns (5 mm), then fasten the jam nuts towards the bottom of the appliance.
    5. Placing the Dryer: Lift the front part of the dryer by 5 to 10 cm. Attach the vacuum feet onto the front feet of the dryer. Push the dryer into the tipping guard, ensuring part B is inserted into part A, and then release it. Confirm that the tipping guard is "locked."

Changing Door Opening Direction:

The door opening direction can be changed by following these steps:

  1. Open the door fully.
  2. Undo the screws and remove the door.
  3. Use a screwdriver to remove the door lock cover and undo the screw on the door lock.
  4. Push the door lock upwards to remove it, move it to the other side, and push it downwards.
  5. Fasten the screw on the door lock and replace the door lock cover.
  6. Undo the door hinge assembly (left) and the door latch assembly (right). Switch their positions, placing the door hinge assembly on the right-hand side and the door latch assembly on the left-hand side, then replace the screws. A screwdriver can be used to remove plastic parts more easily.
  7. Undo the door ring and remove it temporarily.
  8. Rotate the door glass cover by 90° so that the sign indicating the door opening is on the other side.
  9. Rotate the door ring by 180°, install it onto the door, and fasten it with screws.
  10. Replace the door on the door hinge and fasten the screws.

Draining the Condensate:

The condensate tank needs to be emptied regularly. To simplify this and avoid interruptions to the drying cycle, the condensate discharge tube located at the back of the appliance can be run directly into a drain.

  1. Remove the small short hose from the attachment (A).
  2. Connect the supplied drain hose to the same attachment (A).
  3. Run the condensate drain hose into a drain. It can be tied to a tap (B) to prevent slipping, fed into a washbasin siphon (C), or directly into a floor drain (D).
  4. Ensure the drain hose is not pulled, under tension, clamped, or bent. It must be securely fastened to prevent water spillage.
  5. Only use hoses supplied with the appliance.
  6. If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be installed to prevent return flow into the dryer, which could damage the appliance.

Connecting to Power Mains:

  • Initial Wait: After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before being connected to the power mains.
  • Grounded Outlet: Connect the appliance to a grounded power outlet. The wall outlet must be freely accessible after installation and fitted with an earth contact in compliance with relevant regulations.
  • ASKO Washers Only: The receptacle on the rear of the machine is designed for ASKO washers only (rated 208-240 V). To use this receptacle, the ready-fitted plug supplied with the washing machine or an equivalent must be used. ASKO washers rated 208-240 V have two internal 15 A fuses each. The machine should only be connected to a grounded wall socket.
  • Grounding: The appliance must be properly grounded. Refer to the "Important Safety Instructions" for grounding instructions. The power supply cord must be grounded. If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the supply must be protected by a residual current device. Connection to a permanently wired supply point must only be made by a qualified electrician.
  • Protection: Use a type A differential current protection switch.
  • Extension Cords: The dryer must not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.
  • Dedicated Outlet: Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.

Maintenance Features

  • Condensate Tank Emptying: The condensate tank needs to be emptied regularly. The manual refers to a "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" chapter for specific instructions on this, though the details are not provided in this excerpt.
  • Repairs and Maintenance: Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should only be carried out by trained experts to ensure proper functioning and safety.
