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 specific to your model, refer
to the Quick Start Guide enclosed with this manual.
Below is an illustration of the parts and features of your

ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems:
Sensidry™
Models T760 and T780 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.
Thermostat-Control
Model T700 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 T720 offers only timed drying. You can set the
dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes.
Model T700 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.

CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS CARE LABEL INSTR
Read all permanent care labels carefully. If the label
says "Drip dry," "Line dry" or Dry flat," do not dry that item
in the dryer. Certain fabrics will melt or become
dangerously flammable if heated, while others may lose
their shape.
NOTE: Refer to "Important Safety Instructions" on the
previous page for a list of specific materials that should
never be put in a tumble dryer.
SOR SORTING TING THE LA THE LAUNDR
For best drying results, clothes should be sorted
properly. Below are some suggestions on how to sort
your laundry for drying.
Permanent press items should be dried together.
For the most wrinkle-free results when drying
permanent press items, you should fill the machine
only half full. These items also should be removed
promptly from the dryer and hung up or folded right
away.
Dry heavy fabrics together and lightweight fabrics
together.
Dry fabrics that shed lint (chenille, terry cloth, etc.)
separately from fabrics that collect lint (synthetics,
velveteen, corduroy, etc.).
Separate non-colorfast fabrics from light-colored
items.
If the care label says "Wash Separately," the fabric
is likely to lose color (excess dye) for the first few
washings. To minimize the possibility of the dye
transferring to white or lighter colored items, dry
new colored garments with items of similar color
or alone. Bright reds and oranges on cottons are
the dyes most likely to transfer colors.
F F ABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS ABRIC SOFTENER SHEETS
We recommend that you do not use fabric softener
sheets in the dryer. Over time, the chemicals on these
sheets can build up inside the lint filter and clog the
holes that circulate the air.
DR DRYING PR YING PROGRAMS OGRAMS
Refer to the Quick Start Guide that came with your dryer
for specific instructions and programs available with
the model you purchased.
Models T760 and T780:
the Preset Programs" on page 7 of this guide for
instructions on how to change the preset programs.
DR DRYING YING TIMES TIMES
Drying times will vary due to the amount of laundry in
the machine, moisture content, type of fabric, air
temperature and humidity. The length of the vent hose
can also affect drying times. (See "Connecting to a
Ventilation Duct (T700/T760)" on page 11 for the
recommended installation.)
