Asko W6884 Operating Instructions

							Rinse holes under the agitator
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper
clips may have fallen into the wash drum, you
should check the space under the agitator. Such
objects can rust and cause spots on clothing.
Nails and other sharp objects can cause holes in
fabrics.
Do as follows:
1.
Insert a screwdriver or the like into the hole on
the agitator as illustrated and carefully pry to
the left. 2.
Use your other hand to grasp the agitator and
pull it towards you. 3.
Lift the agitator.
4. Remove any objects.
5. Place the agitator in the mounting hole with the
F-mark towards you. Ensure that all the agitator
fasteners are in their holes in the drum. Push
it in until it catches. If you have hard water
If you live in an area with hard water (high
limescale content), a greyish-white coating may
form on the wash drum. To remove this, empty a
sachet of citric acid, approx. 20gram, into the
wash drum and run any 90°C program. Repeat if
necessary.

							Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as a built-in
or freestanding unit. Position the machine so that
the electrical plug is easily accessible.
A. Built-in
The washing machine can be installed under a
counter top with a working height of 850–900 mm.
Leave a 5 mm space around the entire machine,
including between the rear edge of the top cover
and the wall behind it.
B. Freestanding
The washing machine can be positioned beside
or under a tumble dryer.
Adjusting the feet
Keep the noise that the machine produces to a
minimum by adjusting the feet so that the machine
is steady and balanced on the floor. Tighten the
lock nuts.
Connection to water supply
Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately qualified person. Connect the
machine using the accompanying supply hose.
Water pressure should be 0.1–1MPa (approx.
1–10kp/cm
2
; 10–100N/cm 2
). There should be a
stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to
flush them through so that any dirt is washed
away. Otherwise, dirt can clog the filter in the
machine’s water intake and cut off cut off or
reduce water flow to the machine. Check for leaks. Use only the supply hose supplied with the
machine. Do not re-use old hoses or other loose
supply hoses.
Hot water connection
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.
However, if you choose to connect your
ECO-machine to only the cold water it is important
that you shut off the hot water connection. See
chapter "Settings" for information on how to switch
between "Hot water On" and "Hot water Off".

							Drainage connection
The machine is supplied with a drainage hose
attached, which must be connected to a drain.
See the examples below. The height must be
600–900 mm above floor level.
The lower position (600 mm) is always preferable.
Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
The machine can also be connected to the drain
via a spigot connection. In this case the hose
should also be 600-900 mm above the floor. The
internal diameter of the hole should be at least 18
mm.
•
Cut the nipple
• Remove burrs from the hole.
See the illustration. Electrical installation
Connect the machine by plugging it into an
earthed wall socket. The electrical wall socket
must be placed outside of the installation area to
be easily accessible.
Caution!
If this appliance is supplied from a cord
extensions set or electrical portable outlet
device, the cord extension ser or electrical
portable outlet device must be positioned so
that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of
moisture.
Connection on delivery
The machine is supplied as 1-Phase, 220-230V,
50-60Hz, heat output 2000W and has a 10A plug.
Any residual current devices must be type A. Note!
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out
by a qualified professional.
