Asko W6884 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.

Now use the option buttons to select any options. See chapter "Select options".
1. Auto
This program automatically adjusts the length of
the main wash and the number of rinses to the
amount and type of laundry loaded in the
machine.
2. Time program
This program adjusts itself to the specified time
frame or finish time. When using this program, it
is however important to select a temperature and
time suited to how soiled the laundry is. The spin
speed can be selected freely.
Specify the desired program time by pressing +
or - on the Time button. The symbol for the

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.
5. 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

Select options
You can select options to adjust the wash program to suit your own specific requirements. The
available options depend on the selected program. If the option is available for the selected program,
the symbols lights up when you press the button.
The machine will remember the options you select for each program (with one exception – Delayed Start).
You can still change the selected options the next time you select the program in question. Temperature
• Select the temperature by pressing the -/+ buttons until the desired temperature is displayed.
• You can select temperatures between Cold (-°C) and 90°C. If you select Cold, the washing temperature
will be the same as that of the water entering the machine. For Wool/hand wash you cannot choose
a temperature higher than 40°C. For Time program and Easy Care, the maximum temperature is 60°C. Spin
• Select the spin speed by pressing the -/+ buttons until the desired spin speed is displayed.
• You can select speeds between 400 and 1800 rpm, 0 (no spin) or No D(no drain). The maximum
spin speed varies according to the program selected. The speed is shown in the display.
• 0 , means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends by draining.
• No D, No drain means that the program does not include a spin cycle and ends with the water from
the final rinse still in the machine. The washing will remain covered by the water from the final rinse,
stopping it from getting creased. If you have selected "No drain", once the program has finished you
must select either Spin or Drain to empty the machine of water before you open the washer door. Delayed Start
• Select Delayed Start by pressing the + button under the time display. Delayed Start is shown for three
seconds.
• By pressing the + and - buttons under the time display you can delay the start in whole hours up to a
maximum of 24 hours. The symbol for Delayed Start lights up beside the number of hours.
• Press Start/Stop, and the machine counts down 1 hour at a time and starts after the selected delay.
If you change your mind and want to cancel Delayed Start, you must press and hold Start/Stop for three
seconds. Note!
Make sure the detergent compartment is completely dry before you add detergent, otherwise there is
a risk that the detergent will clump before the machine starts.
Super Rinse
Use the Super Rinse option if you want to increase the number of rinses. The maximum number of rinses
is seven, and the number of rinses varies depending on the selected program. Recommended for persons
with extremely sensitive skin and/or in areas with very soft water.
• Select Super Rinse by pressing the button under the symbol.
• The symbol above the button lights when this option is activated.
15
Washing             
						

							High water level
Use High water level if a garment's laundry label shows this symbol. High water level means that additional
water is used during the main wash and rinse cycles.
• Select High water level by pressing the button under the symbol.
• The symbol above the button lights when this option is activated. Note!
The machine takes in the additional water for the high water level about 15 minutes after the main wash
has started.
Anti crease
Anti crease means that the drum will rotate for three seconds per minute for two hours once the wash
program has finished. This function prevents the clothes from lying in the same position and getting
creased. This is a useful feature if you cannot take the washing out straight away.
• Select Anti crease by pressing the button under the symbol.
• The symbol above the button lights when this option is activated. Super wash
Super wash can be selected to better dissolve difficult stains and heavy soiling on clothing. This option
adds a cold pre-wash and the wash time in cold water is extended by approximately six minutes. The
main wash time is also extended.
• Select Super wash by pressing the button under the symbol.
• The symbol above the button lights when this option is activated. Presoak
If the washing is stained with blood, for example, we recommend a presoak. The washing will soak in
cold water for two hours before the wash program starts.
• Select Presoak by pressing the button under the symbol.
• The symbol above the button lights when this option is activated.

Close the washer door and
press the Start/Stop button Note!
A few seconds after you start a program the
washing machine will begin to fill with water from
both the hot and the cold supplies. If for some
reason no hot water is available, the machine
waits for one minute and then fills with cold water
only. The wash drum does not start to rotate
until it begins to fill with water.
Time remaining
The time remaining is shown in hours and
minutes. Once a program is selected, the
estimated program time is displayed. This may
differ from time to time depending on the
temperature of the water entering the machine
and the size of the load. If the program time is
longer than the previous wash with the same
program, '0:01' will be displayed until the program
finishes. This is normal! The next time you use
the program under similar conditions, the
estimated program time will be more accurate.
To add or remove washing after the
program starts

program has started, you can stop the program
by pressing and holding the Door opening button

							Cleaning the trap and the drainage
pump
The washing machine has a trap where coins,
hairpins and the like can collect. To clean the trap
and the drainage pump, do as follows:
1.
Make sure the machine is empty of water and
switched off at the mains. 2.
Open the door. 3.
Unhook the drainage hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a
suitable container, such as a bowl. 4.
Turn the cover anti-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover. 5.
Remove any items and so forth from the pump
housing and the cover. Also check that the
pump blades right at the back rotate. 6.
Screw on the cover, replace the drainage hose
on the hatch pin and close the hatch. Cleaning the detergent
compartment Note!
Do not wash the detergent compartment or the
insert in a dishwasher!
Open the detergent compartment and remove the
insert. Rinse the insert and scrub it clean with a
washing-up brush. Wipe up any detergent left
inside the detergent compartment. Replace the
insert in the detergent compartment. Cleaning the outside of the machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the program
panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use any
solvents, as these can damage the machine.
Note!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
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 90°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.
