ASKO DRYER FEATURES

Your new energy-efficient ASKO dryer is designed to give
you maximum drying performance using less energy. To
make the most of the dryer's functions and features, we
recommend that you read this manual carefully before
using your machine for the first time. For operating
instructions, refer to the section in this guide for your
specific model.
Below is an illustration of the parts and features of your

DRYING SYSTEMS
ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems:
Sensidry™
Models T761 and T781 have our state-of-the-art
Sensidry system. These machines are equipped with
a humidity sensor that ensures different fabrics always
dry thoroughly. This sensor turns off the heat when the
laundry has reached the appropriate dryness.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

♦
Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer.
♦
Do not overload the dryer.
♦
Use the highest spin speeds allowed for the
garments.
♦
Do not put extremely wet clothes into the dryer.

Thermostat-Control
Model T701 has a thermostat that controls the temperature
by turning the heating element on and off to maintain the
selected drying temperature (Normal or Low) within
+/- 5° F.
Timer-Control
Model T721 offers only timed drying. You can set the
dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes.
Model T701 has timer-controlled drying in addition to the
two automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs.
When using a timed drying program, be careful not to
leave the clothes in too long. 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.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection
switch that automatically turns off the machine if the
temperature is too high. The machine will not start until
it has cooled sufficiently.
The dryer could overheat if the lint filter or exhaust hose
becomes clogged with dust. It's a good idea to make sure
the lint filter and exhaust hose and vent duct are clean
before you call for service.
NOTE: If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be
vented properly or the room in which it is
located may not have sufficient air circulation.
Contact your installer to have these issues
checked out.
COOL-DOWN
Every program on an ASKO dryer ends with a cool-down
cycle to reduce wrinkling. Unlike with other dryers, the
laundry will feel cool when you remove them from an
ASKO dryer. No more scorched fingertips.
♦
Dry like fabrics together (i.e., heavy fabrics together,
light fabrics together).
♦
Clean the lint filter after each load.
♦
Do not over-dry clothes when using the timed
program.
♦
Spin the clothes at no less than 800 rpm.
