Program Control This model has two automatic programs: Dry ­ for heavy items, such as jeans or thick towels Normal Dry ­ for cottons, permanent press, synthetics, etc. These programs work with a thermostat that measures the exhaust temperature coming out of the dryer and automatically turns the machine off when the clothes are appropriately dry. Timed Drying (30, 60 or 90 minutes) If you prefer, you can set the Program Control knob to a specific number of minutes to dry the laundry. When you choose timed drying, you must set the Temperature Control to Normal or Low. It is best to select a shorter time; then if the load isn't dry, you can set the timer for a f ew more minutes. Air .luff The Air Fluff program is designed to shake dust out of fabrics, air them, or soften them. This program does not activate the heating element. Temperature Control Normal Low Air .luff This temperature setting should be used for heavier fabrics, such as denim, cotton, linen, etc. This temperature setting should be used for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as synthetics, permanent press, acrylics, etc. This setting does not activate the heating element. It simply circulates the air as the clothes tumble to shake out the dust and refresh the clothes. QUICK START PROCEDURES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 6% Press the Power button to turn on the machine.

CLEANING THE LINT .ILTER Although the lint in your ASKO dryer will be minimal, the lint filter should be cleaned after each load to ensure maximum air flow and prevent possible overheating. To clean the filter, follow the steps below: 1. Grasp the handle and pull it toward you. 2. Remove the filter from the holder by pulling it up. 3. Open the filter and gently brush away any lint. 4. Fold the filter together and return it to the holder on the door. 5. Push the holder in until it snaps into place NOTE: We recommend that you clean the lint filter after every load. OVERHEATING PROTECTION The dryer has a protection device that shuts the machine off if the temperature becomes too high. Overheating could occur if the lint filter is clogged or the fan needs to be cleaned. If the dryer shuts off during a program, check the lint filter first. If it is clean, it could be the fan needs to be cleaned. See page 3 in your Use and Care Guide for more details.
