ENGLIESNHGLISH ASKO DRYER FEATURES Your new energy-efficient ASKO dryer is designed to give you maximum drying performance using less energy. To make the most of the dryer's functions and features, we recommend that you read this manual carefully before using your machine for the first time. For operating instructions, refer to the section in this guide for your specific model. Below is an illustration of the parts and features of your ASKO dryer. Condensed Water Container (Models T721 & T781) Type Plate (Type and Serial Number) Power Button Control Panel Lint Filter Lint Filter Holder Front Panel Cleanable Fan (behind panel) Condenser Unit (behind panel) DRYING SYSTEMS ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems: Sensidry™ Models T761 and T781 have our state-of-the-art Sensidry system. These machines are equipped with a humidity sensor that ensures different fabrics always dry thoroughly. This sensor turns off the heat when the laundry has reached the appropriate dryness. Thermostat-Control Model T701 has a thermostat that controls the temperature by turning the heating element on and off to maintain the selected drying temperature (Normal or Low) within +/- 5° F. Timer-Control Model T721 offers only timed drying. You can set the dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes. Model T701 has timer-controlled drying in addition to the two automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs. When using a timed drying program, be careful not to leave the clothes in too long. It's best to use a shorter time; then if the load isn't dry, you can set the timer for a few more minutes. OVERHEAT PROTECTION ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection switch that automatically turns off the machine if the temperature is too high. The machine will not start until it has cooled sufficiently. The dryer could overheat if the lint filter or exhaust hose becomes clogged with dust. It's a good idea to make sure the lint filter and exhaust hose and vent duct are clean before you call for service. NOTE: If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be vented properly or the room in which it is located may not have sufficient air circulation. Contact your installer to have these issues checked out. COOL-DOWN Every program on an ASKO dryer ends with a cool-down cycle to reduce wrinkling. Unlike with other dryers, the laundry will feel cool when you remove them from an ASKO dryer. No more scorched fingertips. ENERGY SAVING TIPS ♦ Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer. ♦ Do not overload the dryer. ♦ Use the highest spin speeds allowed for the garments. ♦ Do not put extremely wet clothes into the dryer. ♦ Dry like fabrics together (i.e., heavy fabrics together, light fabrics together). ♦ Clean the lint filter after each load. ♦ Do not over-dry clothes when using the timed program. ♦ Spin the clothes at no less than 800 rpm.
