It is important that you select the appropriate program for the type of load you are drying. Refer to the table below for recommendations. Program Extra dry (P1) Dry (P2) Normal dry (P3) Iron dry (P4) Timed Dry Air Fluff NOTE: Definition For items that are extremely difficult to dry, such as jeans and thick towels. Cotton w/out elastic and/or decorative trim. Cotton with elastic and/or decorative trim, linen (white and colorfast). Synthetics, polyester, cotton/polyester blends. Any fabric that can be machine dried. (See note below.) This setting does not heat. It simply circulates the air as the dryer tumbles to shake out the dust and refresh the clothes. (See note below.) When using Timed Dry and Air Fluff, you must set the number of minutes for the program to run. (See "Time" in the "Option Buttons" section on the next page for details.) When using Timed Dry, it is best to use a shorter time; then if the load isnt' dry, you can set the time for a few more minutes. QUICK START PROCEDURES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Press the Power button to turn on the machine. Load the laundry into the dryer. Clean the lint filter (see below). Check that the door is clear of laundry then close it firmly. (The door won't shut if it's slammed.) Turn the Program knob to the desired program. Select desired option(s). Press Start. The machine will start. 6%! Options Time If you set the program knob to Timed Dry or Air Fluff, you must select the length of drying time by pressing this button until the number of minutes you wish to dry the load displays. The time advances in 5-minute increments and you can select between 5 and 90 minutes. The Anti-crease option prevents garments from wrinkling if they're not removed right away. You can select 1, 2, or 3 hours by pressing this button until the number of hours you prefer displays (e.g., 1h). The drum will rotate once every minute at the end of the program for the number of hours you select or until you press Stop or open the door. This option lets you delay starting the program from 1 to 24 hours. Press this button until the number of hours you wish to delay displays (e.g., 1h) then press Start. If you change your mind before you press Start, press Delayed Start button until "0" displays. To cancel Delayed Start after you press Start, press and hold the Stop button until the LED displays the program number or the number of minutes. You have two temperature options: Normal and Low. The Normal setting is for heaver fabrics, such as denim, cotton, linen, etc. Low is for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as synthetics, permanent press, etc. The indicator light will stay lit when Low is selected. It will remain off when Normal is selected. Press this button to set a buzzer to sound for three seconds when a program is complete. The indicator light will stay lit when this option is on. If you select Anti-crease, the buzzer will sound every time the drum rotates. Every program except Air Fluff ends with a cool-down cycle that tumbles the clothes without heat to reduce wrinkling. This button lets you set a Normal cool-down cycle (15 minutes) or a Quick cool-down (5 minutes). The indicator light will stay lit when Quick is selected. NOTE: The dryer is programmed to retain the option settings last selected with each program. Anti-crease Delayed Start Temperature Buzzer Cool-down UNDERSTANDING THE LED WINDOW The LED window displays the program number for the automatic programs (i.e., P1 = Extra Dry; P2 = Dry; P3 = Norma Dry; P4 = Iron Dry). When you select Timed Dry, the LED displays the number of mintues selected plus the cool-down time. When you select Air Fluff, the LED displays the number of minutes selected. With Timed Dry and Air Fluff, as the program advances the LED displays the remaining time. "End" on the LED indicates the program is complete. "C" indicates the program is in the cool-down cycle. 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, first check the lint filter. If the filter is clean, the fan may need to be cleaned. See page 3 in your Use and Care Guide for more details. Refer to your Use and Care Guide for additional programming and operational information as well as care and cleaning instructions. ...
