Description of the tumble dryer
Here are some tips that may help you before youbegin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been spun?Items to be tumble dried should be spun at 1000rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds save energyand reduce drying time.
Materials that can be tumble driedThis symbolmeans that thematerial is suitable
for tumble drying. Fabrics best suited to tumbledrying are cotton fabrics, terry cloth, and syntheticfibers. Garments will be softer and lighter whentumbled than when hung out to dry.
NOTE!
The tumble dryer does not cause any significantwear on fabrics. The lint trapped in the lint filterconsists of dust and fiber residues formedwhenthe items are used.
Materials that should not be tumbledried
This symbol means that the material is notsuitable for tumble drying. Certain materials maymelt or become a fire hazard if exposed to heatand others can lose their shape or shrink.And do not tumble dry• materials labeled "Do not dry near heat".• garments that have been dry-cleaned at home.• plastic foam.• fiberglass material.• wool must not be tumble dried due to the risk
of piling.

If flexible metal (foil type) ductis installed, it must be of a specific type identifiedby the applience manufacturer as suitable forusewith clothes dryers. Flexible ventingmaterialsare known to collapse, be easily crushed, andtrap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothesdryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.To reduce the risk of of severe injury or death,follow all installation instructions.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTUREREFERENCE.
Positioning the tumble dryerThe tumble dryer can be freestanding or stacked.Remember that the tumble dryer produces heatand should therefore not be located in a room thatis too small. If the room is very small, drying willtake longer due to the limited quantity of air.
WARNING!• Clothes dryer installation must be performed
by a qualified installer.• For proper ventilation, themachine should not
be installed behind a door.• The tumble dryer's toe kick ventilation must
not be blocked by a rug or the like.
NOTE!
If the unit must be installed behind a door shouldbe louvered. To improve ventilation, the doorwhere the tumble dryer is located should be leftopen when the dryer is in use.
FreestandingThe tumble dryer can be positioned beside thewashing machine.
StackingThe tumble dryer can be placed on top of a ASKOwashing machine. Use the two foot cups found inthe document bag includedwith themachine andthe two tip guards attached to the bottom leftcorner of the back of the machine.How to assemble the stacking kit:1. Undo the anti-tip device.
2. Remove the two screws indicated on the backof the washing machine.
