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. Type Plate (Type and Serial Number) Power Button Control Panel Lint Filter Lint Filter Holder Cleanable Fan (behind panel) Condenser Unit (behind panel) (T721 & T781 only) DRYING SYSTEMS ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems: Sensidry™ Models T731, 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 T711 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 T711 has timer-controlled drying in addition to the two automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs. Model T721 offers only timed drying. You can set the dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes. 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. Model T731 has timer-controlled drying in addition to the four automatic programs. When using a timed drying program, be careful not to dry the clothes 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 will automatically turn the machine off if the temperature gets too high. The machine will not start until it has cooled down sufficiently. If the unit shuts down because of overheating, check that the lint filter exhaust hose, vent duct, and the condenser unit are free of lint. These components need to be cleaned on a regular basis. Additionally, the lint filter may need to be cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft brush a few times a year to ensure the filter screen is not blocked. Using dryer sheets (not recommended) can also cause this problem. Should the machine turn itself off because of overheating, it will not be possible to restart the unit until it has cooled down sufficiently. This could possibly take up to thirty minutes. To restart the unit once it has cooled down, press the "Start" button. 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. ♦ 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.
