Connection to water supply
Hot water connection
A few seconds after you start a program, the
washing machine will begin to fill with water from
the hot and cold supplies. If for some reason no
hot water is available, the machine waits for one
minute and then fills with cold water only. The
wash drum does not start to rotate until it begins
to fill with water.
However, if you choose to connect your
ECO-machine to cold water only, it is important
that you shut off the hot water connection. See
the "Settings" chapter for information on how to
switch between "Hot water On" and "Hot water
Off".
Read these instructions carefully and completely
before you install the machine. The installation
should be carried out by a qualified person who
is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for
electrical and plumbing connections.
Cosmetic damage must be reported to your dealer
within five days from the date of purchase. After
unpacking the washer, thoroughly check the unit
for cosmetic damage.
Leveling the machine
It is important that the machine is level to prevent
excessive vibrations during spin cycles. Each foot
of the washer is adjustable, so you can level the
washer on any surface. Once it is level, securely
tighten the lock nuts on the feet to prevent
excessive vibration during spin cycles.
Water supply connection
Since ASKO washers have a built-in heating
element, you only need a cold water inlet. The
connection should be made by someone who is
sufficiently skilled. Use the hose supplied with the
washer. (The inlet hose is marked for correct
connection.) The water pressure must be in the
range 15–146 PSI. A valve should be fitted on the
water supply pipe. If a new supply pipe has been
installed for the washer, it should be flushed
thoroughly to remove any foreign particles that
might clog the filter in the fill valve.
NOTE!
If the unit is installed on a second storey, follow
local building codes. We recommend installing
a drip pan.
