Asko W620 Use And Care Manual page 16

DRAIN OUTLET CONNECTION
The machine is supplied with the outlet hose already
attached. The hose should be extended over a suitable
sink edge or drain pipe at a height of 24” to 36” (600
mm to 900 mm) above the floor. (The lower height is
preferable.) Make sure that the hose is not kinked.
NOTE: If the hose is extended, the internal diameter of
the coupling must not be less than 1/2”.
WARNING!
Do not extend the drain hose higher
than 36” (900 mm).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The machine is delivered ready-fitted with a plug and is
intended for connection to an ASKO Dryer, which is
equipped with a matching receptacle. The plug supplied
with the washer can only be used with an ASKO Dryer. If
the washer is used separately or with another dryer, it
must be on a separate 220 V single-phase circuit.
If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the supply
must be protected by a residual current device.
As supplied: 230 V, 60 Hz
2000 W heating element
15 A fuse required
WARNING! Connection to a permanently wired
supply point must be made only by a
qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING! Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
The washer can be placed next to the dryer.
It is essential that the machine is leveled and the
locknuts are tight to prevent excessive vibration during
the spin cycles. Also be sure to leave a minimum of
1/2 inch (12.5 mm) of space between the washer and
the dryer.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet or
worktop with a height of 34”. There must be a gap of
about 1/4” (.64 mm) all around the machine, including
between the rear edge of the machine top panel and
the back wall. The opening width must be at least 24”
(600 mm).
Space must also be available for the inlet and drain
hoses. See the diagram below for measurements and
positions.
If the drain outlet is higher than
24”, you will need to recess the
connections.
NOTE: The height adjustment for the washer is
33-1/2” to 34-1/2” (850 mm to 876 mm).
Do not raise it higher than 34-1/2”.
STACKED INSTALLATION
ASKO washers should never be stacked on a counter
or a dryer. You can, however, stack an ASKO dryer on an
ASKO washer. Refer to your Dryer Use and Care Guide
for instructions on how to do this.
