Asko W6564 Operating Instructions

							1
Sort your laundry.
See the "Advice and Tips before washing"
section.
Place underwired bras in a laundry net.
Empty pockets. Coins, nails and the like can
cause damage to the machine and fabrics. See
the "Advice and Tips" section before washing.
2 Turn on the main power switch
3 Open the washer door and load
the washing
If the washer door is closed, press the Door
opening button (key symbol). The door opens
once all water has drained from the machine.
Load the washing. The wash program chart shows
how much washing can be washed with each
program.
4 Add detergent and fabric
softener, as required
The detergent packaging will have
recommendations for how much detergent you
should use. The machine holds 7kg of washing.
If you only have a small amount of laundry in the
machine, you can reduce the amount of detergent
used.
Powder detergent
Pour the powder into the compartment for the
main wash, and pre-wash as well if desired.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid detergent, follow the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendations. We
recommend always using a wash ball with very
thick liquid detergent.
Wash ball or net
If you use a wash ball or net, place it directly in
the drum and select a program without pre-wash. Note!
Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater
impact on the environment; can also hinder the
wash performance.
Try using less detergent, and increase only if
you are not satisfied with the results.
Fabric softener
Pour the fabric softener into the compartment with
the symbol. Follow the recommendations on
the fabric softener packaging. Note!
Do not fill above the compartment’s maximum
fill level. Otherwise fabric softener will run in too
early, and will impair washing results.

Select the program You select a program by turning the program selector. An LED lights up beside the selected program
and the estimated program time is shown in the display. The program time is based on the time last taken
by the same program. Use the option buttons to select any options.
1. Auto
This program automatically adjusts the length of
the main wash and the number of rinses to the
amount of laundry loaded in the machine.
2. Heavy
Program for heavily soiled laundry, with dirt that
needs to be fully dissolved before the main wash.
A pre-wash is used to do this. You can select the
temperature freely, so follow the washing
instructions for each garment. The highest
temperature, 95°C, is suitable for very heavily
soiled laundry. The spin speed can be selected
freely. The machine adapts the program time and
water consumption to the load size.
3. Normal
Program for normal to heavily soiled laundry,
whites and colours. You can select the
temperature freely, so follow the washing
instructions for each garment. 60°C is a good
temperature for heavily soiled cotton garments,
as well as for garments worn next to the skin.
Select 40°C if the laundry is less soiled. The spin
speed can be selected freely. The machine adapts
the program time and water consumption to the
load size.
4. Colour/White
A standard program for lightly to moderately soiled
laundry. The temperature can be selected freely,
so follow the washing instructions for each
garment. Garments worn next to the skin ought
to be washed at 60°C. Very lightly soiled laundry
often comes clean already at 40°C. The spin
speed can be selected freely. The machine adapts
the program time and water consumption to the
load size.
5. Quick
Fast program for laundry that just needs
freshening up. The program can be run at any
temperature, so follow the washing instructions
for each garment. The lower the selected
temperature, the shorter the program time.
Garments worn next to the skin ought to be
washed at 60°C. The spin speed can be selected
freely.

a spin speed up to 1200 rpm can be selected.

Program for delicate fabrics made of synthetic
fibres, blended materials or silk. The maximum
temperature is 60°C, but follow the washing
instructions for each garment. Many synthetics
will come clean at 40°C. Garments worn next to
the skin ought to be washed at 60°C. The
maximum spin speed is 800 rpm.
8. Wool/hand wash
A gentle laundry program for wool, silk and
garments that should be washed by hand. The
highest temperature is 30°C. This program has a
short spin. The maximum spin speed is 800 rpm.

spin. Suitable for laundry that just needs to be
dampened and for cleaning cloths and mops.

Care and cleaning               
						

							Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow clothes to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine. These,
in turn, may lead to unpleasant smells developing;
especially if constantly using cold wash.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95°C
wash program once a month. When you do this,
use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any washing in the machine.
