NOTE: See below for temperature options. Please note also that program times will increase when you select higher wash temperatures. (See “Temperature Control” on page 3.)
CAUTION! Some fabrics may not be able to withstand extremely hot temperatures. Always refer to the garment care label for recommended wash temperatures.
OPTION BUTTONS
The Option buttons allow you to select wash temperatures, spin speeds, delayed start, extra rinses,
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
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
