DOOR OPEN BUTTON The power must be on and you must press this button to open the door. Hold down the button until the indicator light goes off (approximately 3 seconds). You will hear the door lock release. Please note that the water must be drained before the door will open. NOTE: Refer to "The door won't open" section in the Troubleshooting chart on page 13 for instructions on how to open the glass door in case of a mechanical or power failure. INTERRUPTING A PROGRAM If you wish to interrupt a program to add an item to the wash, press and hold the Door Open button ( ) until the indicator light next to the button comes on (approximately 3 seconds). Any water in the machine will be pumped out before the door will open. Add the item to be washed and, if necessary, add more detergent. Close the door. The unit will start at the point it was interrupted. You can also interrupt a program by pressing the Start/ Stop button until the indicator light next to the button goes off. When you press Start again, the unit will start at the beginning of the program. If there is water already in the tub, you will have to turn the Program knob to Drain to drain the water then press the Door Open button. The door will open when the water has drained. Insert the item you wish to wash and close the door. Add more detergent, if necessary. Turn the Program knob to the desired program and press Start. OPTION BUTTONS The Option buttons allow you to select wash temperatures, spin speeds, delayed start, extra rinses, high-water level, and anti-crease. Each of these options is defined in more detail in the following paragraphs. NOTE: The unit is programmed to retain the option selections, except for temperatures above 140° and Delayed Start. Temperature Button Select wash temperatures by pressing this button until the temperature you desire displays on the LED. The temperature options are 85°, 105°, 120°, 140°, 160°, 175°, and 205° F. "C" on the LED indicates the wash temperature will be the same as that of the incoming water (cold). The wash temperature for the Wool and Hand/Delicate wash programs can only be set for cold, 85° F, or 105° F. NOTE: The temperature selection cannot be changed after the main wash has started. Spin Speed Button Select the spin speed by pressing this button until the spin speed you desire displays. The spin speeds advance in 200 rpm increments. The minimum spin speed is 400 rpm and the maximum is 1400 rpm. The spin speed for the Perma Press, Wool and Hand/ Delicate programs cannot be set higher than 800 rpm. You can also select No Spin, which is indicated by a zero on the LED. The program will not have a spin cycle, but it will drain. There is also a No Spin/No Drain option, which is indicated in the LED by the letters "no d." When you select this option, the program will not have a spin cycle and the unit will stop with water in the machine. You will have to set the Program knob Drain, to drain the unit before you can open the door. If you wish to spin the load before you remove it, set the Program knob to Spin so it will spin and drain. NOTE: The spin speed can only be altered before the main wash water is pumped out. Delayed Start Button This button lets you delay starting the program from 1 to 24 hours. This means you can set the washer to start at the most convenient time for you, such as an hour before you arrive home from work. This feature is also useful in areas where utility companies offer discount rates during off-peak hours. To select delayed start, press this button until the number of hours you wish to delay starting the program displays in the LED then press Start. If you change your mind before you press Start, you can void delay start by continuing to press the button until a zero displays in the LED. To void this selection after you have pressed Start, press and hold the Start button until the selected temperature displays on the LED. Super Rinse Button Press this button to add two rinses. The indicator light next to the button stays lit when this option is selected (on). Press the button again to turn the option off. (This option cannot be altered after the main wash water is pumped out.) High Water Button The normal water level for an ASKO is just below the bottom of the glass door. Some users prefer to see the water level, so ASKO added this option, which increases the water level to about an inch above the bottom of the glass door. It doesn't necessarily enhance the washer's cleaning performance. The indicator light next to the button stays lit when this option is on. To cancel this option, hold down the button until the indicator light goes off. This option cannot be cancelled after the main wash has started. NOTE: The Wool and Hand/Delicate wash programs automatically have a higher water level. Anti-Crease Button This option is designed to reduce wrinkling of garments that are not going to be taken out of the washer right away. When you select Anti-crease, the drum will rotate once every minute at the end of the program for two hours or until you press the Door Open button. The indicator light will stay lit when this option is on. To cancel this option, hold down the button until the indicator light goes off. This option cannot be cancelled after you have started the program. Page 11
