Your new energy-efficient ASKO washer is designed to
give you maximum cleaning performance using less
water, energy and detergent. To make the most of the
washer’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 pages 10 through 17.
Below is an illustration of the external parts and features
of your ASKO washer.
THE GLASS DOORTHE GLASS DOOR
To open the glass door, the power to the machine must
be on and you must press the Door Open button (
).
There will be a few seconds delay before the door
opens.
Refer to “The door won’t open” section in the
Troubleshooting chart on page 21 for instructions on
how to open the glass door in case of a mechanical or
power failure.
Models W6021 and W6221Models W6021 and W6221
On these models, the unit must be at the end of a
program to open the glass door. If you need to stop or
interrupt a program after you start the machine, press
the Door Open button ( ). Any water in the machine
will be pumped out and the door should open on its
own. To restart the washer, close the door, add detergent
(if needed), and turn the controls to the desired settings.
Models W6641 and W6661Models W6641 and W6661
On these models, if you need to open the door during a
wash or rinse cycle, press and hold Door Open for three
seconds. The machine will stop and automatically drain
enough water so the door can be opened safely. The
program will resume when you close the door.

SENSOR LEVEL CONTRSENSOR LEVEL CONTROL OL
(SL(SLC)C)
ASKO washers do not need high, medium, or low water
level settings to compensate for different sized loads.
ASKO units have a consumption sensor—Sensor Level
Control—that ensures the correct amount of water is
pumped into the machine for any size load. It even
compensates for fabric saturation, letting in more water
if needed. This eliminates worry about selecting the
right water level setting for each laundry load.
TEMPERATEMPERATURE CONTRTURE CONTROLOL
Because wash water temperature is a major factor in
getting laundry clean, ASKO washers have built-in heating
elements and a sensor that keeps the temperature to
within +/-1° F of the selected program temperature.
ASKO washers are programmed not to advance in a
cycle until the selected water temperature is reached,
so the length of the cycles may vary, depending upon
the household cold water temperature, the amount of
laundry in the washer, and the wash temperature setting.
ENZYME STEPENZYME STEP
To successfully remove all dirt and stains from fabric,
the enzymes in your detergent need to work at a
temperature between 105° and 140° F for a longer time
period. For this reason, the main wash cycle in a Normal
wash program on ASKO washers is 43 minutes (plus
the amount of time it takes to heat the water to the
selected temperature). This longer wash cycle gives
the enzymes in the detergent ample time to remove
stains, eliminating the need for stain sprays and spot
removers.
The prewash option should be used only for heavily
soiled loads. Starting the machine at the main wash
stage will save about 25 minutes.
MORE RINSE CYMORE RINSE CYCLESCLES
Most washers have only two or three rinse cycles; some
have an option to add a fourth. ASKO washers have five
rinses and a Super Rinse option that adds two more.
ASKO washers get the soil and detergent out of your
laundry that most other washers leave in. That’s why
your whites will remain white and your colored fabrics
will remain bright.
SUPER RINSE OPTIONSUPER RINSE OPTION
This option is designed for people with sensitive skin
or who are allergic to detergents. It can also be used for
large, heavily soiled loads.
SPIN OPTIONSSPIN OPTIONS
ASKO washers have faster spin speeds than most other
washers, which decreases the time it takes to dry your
laundry by up to half. The spin speeds range from 400
rpm to 1600 rpm, depending on the model. You can
also turn the spin cycle off.
