Installation Drain outlet connection The machine is supplied with the outlet hose already attached. The hose should be extended over a suitable sink edge or drain pipe at a height of 24" to 36" (610 mm to 914 mm) above the bottom of the unit. (The lower height is preferable.) Make sure the hose is not kinked. 24" to 36" Note! If the hose is extended, the internal diameter of the coupling must not be less than ½". Warning! Do not extend the drain hose higher than 36" (914 mm) from the bottom of the unit. Electrical Connections The machine is delivered ready-fitted with a plug and is intended for connection to an ASKO Dryer, which is equipped with a matching receptacle. The plug supplied with the washer can only be used with an ASKO Dryer. If the washer is used separately or with another dryer, it must be on a separate 220 V single-phase circuit. If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the supply must be protected by a residual current device. As supplied: 230 V, 60 Hz, 2000 W heating element,15 A fuse required. Warning! Connection to a permanently wired supply point must be made only by a qualified electrician 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. 30 Customer Care Center 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
