INSTALLATION

FREESTANDING INSTALLATION

The washer can be placed next to the dryer. It is essential
that the machine is leveled and the locknuts are tightened
to prevent excessive vibration during spin cycles. Also
be sure to leave a minimum of ½" of space between
the washer and the dryer. The height adjustment for the
washer is 33½" to 34½" (850 mm to 876 mm). Do not raise
it higher than 34½" (876 mm).
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.
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.
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet or
worktop with a height of 34" to 35" (863 to 889 mm) or
in a closet. There must be a gap of about ½" (12 mm) all
around the machine, including between the rear edge of
the machine's top panel and the back wall. The opening
width must be at least 24½" (622 mm). Space must also
be available for the fill and drain hoses. See the illustration
below for measurements and positions. If the washer is
installed in a closet the door must be left open while the
washer is running.
If the drain outlet is higher than 24"(610 mm), the
connections will need to be recessed.
