INTRODUCTION You have in your hand the ASKO Service Manual for the new generation of tumble driers, that are friendly to the environment in both their manufacture and their use. This new generation of tumble driers has been designed for ease of servicing. By this we mean that it's a simple job, for example, to replace a damaged side panel.
SAFETY REGULATIONS SAFETY REGULATIONS GENERAL • The electrical and plumbing installations shall be carried out by a qualified electrician and plumber respectively. SERVICE WARNING Always switch off the main electrical power supply when dismantling and assembling the washing machine. • Always use an earthed EMC wristband when working with electrical components, such as panel printed circuit boards and electronic control units.

THE DRYING PROCESS THE DRYING PROCESS T700: Air at room temperature is heated by the heating element and drawn into the drum, where it ex- tracts the dampness from the clothes. The ridges in the drum prevent the clothes from sticking to each other.
THE DRYING PROCESS T720/780: The condensing tumble drier has two circulation systems: one for drying air and one for cooling air. The black arrows show the warm drying air, and the white arrows the cooling air at room tem- perature. The ridges in the drum prevent the clo- thes from sticking to each other.
850 mm. The width of the opening must be at least 600 C. Washing tower The tumble drier can be placed on top of an ASKO washing machine. The tumble drier is fastened securely and prevented from moving by the to- wer fasteners that come with the machine: 2 off angle pieces.

INSTALLATION Install the tower configuration like this: 1. Unscrew and remove the outermost screws from each side of the rear of the washing machine. 2. Screw the angle pieces to the rear of the wash- ing machine. 3. Secure the two plastic cups to the front edge of the top cover.
INSTALLATION ADJUSTING THE FEET Screw the feet in or out until the tumble drier is standing vertical and steady. Lock the feet by tight- ening their locking nuts. CONDENSATION WATER (T720/780) Alternative 1 (as delivered) Condensation water is pumped up into the con- densation water tank, which is pulled out and emptied manually.
Page 10
INSTALLATION AIR EXTRACTION (T700/760) The exhaust air from the tumble drier should be taken to an exhaust duct or a wall outlet with the aid of the accompanying air extraction hose. Connection to the tumble drier The tumble drier has three possible air extraction points: the rear, right or left side.
The machine is supplied for 3-phase, 400 V, hea- stalling the tumble drier jointly with a single-phase ting power 2500/2620 W (see type label) and ASKO washing machine, the phases should be fused at 10 A. connected like this: If an earth fault breaker is installed, it should be of type A.
