About Your Washer/Dryer

Your New Appliance

Your ASKO washer / dryer is a front-loading machine with a quality stainless steel tub, a vent-less condenser dry system, a 1200 RPM maximum spin speed and 140 minute Dry Time knob. It features 4 wash temperatures, 9 wash programs and many other convenient features such as:

Features

Fabric Care System

The gentle tumble action of your front-loading washer results in cleaner clothes with less wear and tear – and you can put delicate fabrics in the washing machine instead of hand-washing them. Tumble action also uses less water and detergent than conventional washers. In addition to the better wash action, your ASKO washer has an internal heater to boost temperatures to 140°F (60°C) for improved stain removal. After the clothes are clean, ASKO spins them dry at speeds up to 1200 RPM, which saves time and energy in the dryer and extends the life of your clothes. Your ASKO washer/dryer also has a reversing tub to keep clothes moving freely, to speed drying and reduce wrinkles.

ENERGY STAR® Rated

As the U.S.-government-backed, trusted symbol for energy efficiency, the ENERGY STAR label identifies highly efficient products and superior energy performance.

Load Management System

To keep your washer on an even keel, ASKO introduces the load management system. The WCAM 1812 features a four shock absorber suspension to reduce vibration when the washer spins. A cast- aluminum cradle supports the tank and evenly distributes the weight of the clothes.

Easy to use controls

Your ASKO laundry appliance has easy-to-use controls with familiar program names and convenient wash/dry options.

Coin trap

Your ASKO washer/dryer has a coin trap to keep small objects from blocking the pump. A small door on the front of the washer allows you to empty items, such as coins, to prevent the pump from jamming.

Water control system

The water system measures how much water is needed for each load. You never have to select the water level, because the washer automatically uses the right amount.

Quiet package

The ASKO washer/dryer features a package for quiet performance. The top holds in noise; the washer’s drain pump is at the rear of the machine to reduce sound; the suspension system reduces vibration and minimizes noise.

Work top surface

The triple-layer DuraTech™ top locks in noise and provides a convenient surface for folding clothes or other laundry tasks.

Complies with ADA accessibility guidelines (Americans with Disabilities Act)

The ASKO washer/dryer fits easily into any standard American cabinet opening. All ASKO units are ADA height-compliant for convenient wheelchair access. For your convenience, your ASKO washer/dryer has controls on the front, making them easy to reach.

Internal (vent-less) condenser

Your ASKO washer/dryer uses a condenser dryer, so doesn’t need a vent to the outside like a traditional dryer. Instead, the washer/dryer conveniently drains water through the drain hose. This makes it ideal for installation in closets, older homes without vents, RVs and marine applications.

Cool down program

Your ASKO dryer finishes with up to a 20-minute cool-down program to reduce wrinkles and decrease wear and tear on clothes. When you take your clothes out of the dryer, they are dry but not hot.
