Asko T411VDW Installation Instructions English - Page 2

Dear Customer, 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. See also the general Safety Instructions in the Use & Care Guide. Cosmetic damage must be reported to the ASKO dealer within five days from the date of purchase. As soon as you unpack the machine, thoroughly check it for cosmetic damage. INSTALLATION WARNING - Risk of fire. Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes. Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer. Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the applience manufacturer that is UL approved for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. WARNING For proper ventilation, the machine should not be installed behind a door. The tumble dryer's toe kick ventilation must not be blocked by a rug or the like. DRYER PLACEMENT The dryer can be either freestanding or installed onto 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 available 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. Install the dryer 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 a vented dryer, it does not have a condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative purpose and is fixed; it is not intended for opening. If excessive force is applied, the handle may break. 2 Customer Care Center, 1-800-898-1879, www.askona.com
