CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY
The machine has to be connected to water
supply by an adequately trained person.
Since ASKO washers have a built-in heating
element, you only need a cold water inlet. The
connection should be made by someone who is
sufficiently skilled. Use the hose supplied with
the washer. (The inlet hose is marked for correct
connection.) The water pressure must be in the
range 15–146 PSI. A valve should be fitted on
the water supply pipe. If a new supply pipe has
been installed for the washer, it should be flushed
thoroughly to remove any foreign particles that might
clog the filter in the fill valve.
The water intake hose has to be fastened fi rmly
enough for the hose to have a good seal.
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked
for any leaks.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the
appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
If the unit is installed on a second story, follow
local building codes. We recommend installing a
drip pan.

CONNECTING TO HOT/COLD WATER
SUPPLY
(Only available in some models)
If your appliance has connections for both hot
and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold
water connection and the other hose to the hot
water connection, as indicated on the back of the
appliance:
COLD = cold and HOT = hot.
Hot water is supplied for programs operating at
WARM or more.
Connecting to both hot and cold water will save
time and electric energy when washing.
If your washing machine model has connections
for both hot and cold water, and you only wish to
connect cold water, then the protective cap has to be
attached to the hot water connection.
Hot water connection
(Depending on model)
A few seconds after you start a program, the
washing machine will begin to fi ll with water from
the hot and cold supplies. If for some reason no hot
water is available, the machine waits for one minute
and then fi lls with cold water only. The wash drum
does not start to rotate until it begins to fi ll with water.
Read these instructions carefully and completely
before you install the machine. The installation
should be carried out by a qualifi ed person who
is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for
electrical and plumbing connections.
Cosmetic damage must be reported to your dealer
within fi ve days from the date of purchase. After
unpacking the washer, thoroughly check the unit for
cosmetic damage.
