The option buttons allow you to select program time,
normal or low temperature, anti-crease, delayed start,
buzzer and quick cooling. Each of these options is
defined in more detail in the following paragraphs.
TIME SET
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 on the LED. The time advances in 5-
minute increments and you can select between 5 and
90 minutes. If you pass the time you wanted to select,
continue to press the button until the correct time
displays.
WRINKLE-FREE
The Wrinkle-free option prevents garments from
wrinkling if you’re unable to remove them right away.
You can select one, two, or three hours by pressing the
Wrinkle-free button until the number of hours you prefer
displays, as illustrated below:
1hNOTE: “0” on the LED indicates the option is not active.
When you set a time, the drum will continue to rotate
after the program is complete for three seconds every
minute until the door is opened or the selected time (1–
3 hours) has passed. If the buzzer is on, it will sound
each time the anti-crease program activates.
DELAY
This option lets you set the dryer to start at the most
convenient time. This feature is also useful in areas
where utility companies offer discount rates during off-
peak hours. You can set delayed start from 1 hour to 24
hours, in one-hour increments.
To set a delayed start time, press the button until the
number of hours you wish to delay starting the machine
displays on the LED, as illustrated below:
1hIf you pass the time you wanted to select, continue to
press the button until the correct time displays. If you
decide not to delay starting the unit, continue to press
the button until “0” displays.
Press Start and the unit will start after the number of
hours you selected has passed.
To cancel Delay Start after you have pressed the Start
button, press and hold the Stop button until the LED
displays either the program number or minutes if you
were running a Timed dry or Air fluff program.
You can then press Start and the unit will start right
then.
TEMPERATURE
You have two temperature options: Normal and Low.
The Normal setting should be used for heavier fabrics,
such as denim, cotton, linen, etc. The Low setting should
be used for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as
synthetics, permanent press, acrylics, etc.
The indicator light will stay lit when Low is selected. It
will remain off when Normal is selected.
NOTE: 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 below for details.)
Program Definition
Heavy (P1) For items that are extremely difficult to dry, such as jeans and thick towels.
Normal (P2) Cotton w/out elastic and/or decorative trim.
Delicate (P3) Cotton with elastic and/or decorative trim, linen (white and colorfast).
Iron dry (P4) Synthetics, polyester, cotton/polyester blends.
Timed Dry Any fabric that can be machine dried. (See note below.)
Air Fluff This setting does not heat. It simply circulates the air as the clothes tumble to shake out
the dust and refresh the clothes. (See note below.)
Your ASKO dryer has our state-of-the-art Sensidry
system. This means it has a humidity sensor that
ensures different fabrics always dry thoroughly. This
sensor turns off the heat when the laundry has reached
the appropriate dryness.
The Heavy, Normal, Delicate and Iron Dry programs
are automatic (Sensidry) programs designed for certain
types of loads, as defined in the table below. The sensor
detects different levels of humidity with each program.
It is important, therefore, to select the appropiate
program for the type of load you are drying.
If you prefer, you can select Timed Dry, which does not
activate the humidity sensor. You should be careful
when using this option not to overdry the fabrics. This
program automatically uses the Low temperature
setting, but you can change it to Normal by depressing
the Temperature button.
When using Timed Dry, it’s best to use a shorter time;
then if the load isn’t dry, you can set the timer for a few
more minutes.
NOTE: Always follow the care label instruction.
