Your new energy-efficient ASKO dryer is designed to
give you maximum drying performance using less
energy. To make the most of the dryer’s functions and
features, we recommend that you read this manual
carefully before using your machine for the first time.
For operating instructions, refer to the section in this
guide for your specific model.
Below is an illustration of the parts and features of your
ASKO dryer.

DRYING SYSTEMS
ASKO dryers come with three different drying systems:
Sensidry
Models T731, T761 and T781 have our state-of-the-art
Sensidry system. These machines are equipped with a
humidity sensor that ensures different fabrics always
dry thoroughly. This sensor turns off the heat when the
laundry has reached the appropriate dryness.
Thermostat-Control
Model T701 has a thermostat that controls the
temperature by turning the heating element on and off
to maintain the selected drying temperature (Normal or
Low) within +/- 5° F.
Timer-Control
Model T701 has timer-controlled drying in addition to
the two automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs.
Model T721 offers only timed drying. You can set the
dryer to run from 30 minutes to 190 minutes.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
♦ Dry like fabrics together (i.e., heavy fabrics together,
light fabrics together).
♦ Clean the lint filter after each load.
♦ Do not over-dry clothes when using the timed program.
♦ Spin the clothes at no less than 800 rpm.
♦ Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer.
♦ Do not overload the dryer.
♦ Use the highest spin speeds allowed for the
garments.
♦ Do not put extremely wet clothes into the dryer.
Model T731 has timer-controlled drying in addition to
the four automatic programs.
When using a timed drying program, be careful not to
dry the clothes too long. It’s best to use a shorter time;
then if the load isn’t dry, you can set the timer for a few
more minutes.
OVERHEAT PROTECTION
ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection
switch that automatically turns off the machine if the
temperature is too high. The machine will not start until
it has cooled sufficiently.
The dryer could overheat if the lint filter or exhaust hose
becomes clogged with dust. It’s a good idea to make
sure the lint filter, exhaust hose and vent duct are clean
before you call for service. If you use dryer sheets (not
recommended), you may need to wash the lint filter with
warm water and a soft brush to clean any blocked holes.
If you have a condenser dryer (T721 or T781), first make
sure the condensation water container is empty (see
page 22).
If the overheat protection switch is activated, you have
to reset it before the machine will run. To do this, press
the reset button (rubber disk) on the back of the machine,
as illustrated below. You should hear a click when it
engages. The machine cannot be reset until it has cooled
sufficiently.
NOTE: If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be
vented properly or the room in which it is located
may not have sufficient air circulation. Contact
your installer to have these issues checked out.
COOL-DOWN
Every program on an ASKO dryer ends with a cool-
down cycle to reduce wrinkling. Unlike with other dryers,
the laundry will feel cool when you remove them from
an ASKO dryer. No more scorched fingertips.
