Important Safety Information

ASKO complied with the highest international safety regulations when designing and manufacturing your washer/ dryer. For your safety, however, please carefully follow all precautions within this manual in order to minimize any risk of fire, electric shock, property damage, personal injury or loss of life

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

Do not run washer/dryer while you are not at home.

Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, cooking oils or other flammable or explosive substances, because they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

Do not allow children to play on or in washer / dryer. Supervise children whenever appliance is in use.

Before removing appliance from service or discarding appliance, remove the door to washing/drying compartment.

Do not reach into appliance while drum is moving.

Do not install or store appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the user instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and are qualified to carry out. Call ASKO to locate a qualified repair technician near you.

Do not add dry cleaning solvents, gasoline or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off harmful vapors that can catch fire or explode.

Do not heat-dry items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials, fiberglass and wool (unless specified “washable” on label).

Do not heat-dry items that have been dry-cleaned.

Do not place flammable substances around your washer/dryer during operation.

If a hot water system has not been used for 2 weeks or more, under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To release any accumulated hydrogen, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes.

In case of water break or rupture, turn off water faucets to relieve pressure on hoses and valves and to minimize leakage.

Have machine interior cleaned by qualified service personnel periodically.

When emergency service is required, unplug machine or turn off power to washer at the circuit breaker/fuse box.

Make sure drum is empty before loading washer.

Do not dry feather or down bedding
