About Your Washer/Dryer
Your New Appliance
Your ASKO washer / dryer is a front-loading machine with a quality
stainless steel tub, a vent-less condenser dry system, a 1200 RPM
maximum spin speed and 140 minute Dry Time knob. It features 4
wash temperatures, 9 wash programs and many other convenient
features such as:
Features
Fabric Care System
The gentle tumble action of your front-loading washer results in
cleaner clothes with less wear and tear – and you can put delicate
fabrics in the washing machine instead of hand-washing them. Tumble
action also uses less water and detergent than conventional washers.
In addition to the better wash action, your ASKO washer has an
internal heater to boost temperatures to 140°F (60°C) for improved
stain removal. After the clothes are clean, ASKO spins them dry at
speeds up to 1200 RPM, which saves time and energy in the dryer
and extends the life of your clothes. Your ASKO washer/dryer also has
a reversing tub to keep clothes moving freely, to speed drying and
reduce wrinkles.
ENERGY STAR
®
Rated
As the U.S.-government-backed, trusted symbol for energy efficiency,
the ENERGY STAR label identifies highly efficient products and
superior energy performance.
Load Management System
To keep your washer on an even keel, ASKO introduces the load
management system. The WCAM 1812 features a four shock absorber
suspension to reduce vibration when the washer spins. A cast-
aluminum cradle supports the tank and evenly distributes the weight
of the clothes.
Easy to use controls
Your ASKO laundry appliance has easy-to-use controls with familiar
program names and convenient wash/dry options.
Coin trap
Your ASKO washer/dryer has a coin trap to keep small objects from
blocking the pump. A small door on the front of the washer allows you
to empty items, such as coins, to prevent the pump from jamming.
Water control system
The water system measures how much water is needed for each
load. You never have to select the water level, because the washer
automatically uses the right amount.
Quiet package
The ASKO washer/dryer features a package for quiet performance.
The top holds in noise; the washer’s drain pump is at the rear of the
machine to reduce sound; the suspension system reduces vibration
and minimizes noise.
Work top surface
The triple-layer DuraTech™ top locks in noise and provides a
convenient surface for folding clothes or other laundry tasks.
Complies with ADA accessibility guidelines
(Americans with Disabilities Act)
The ASKO washer/dryer fits easily into any standard American cabinet
opening. All ASKO units are ADA height-compliant for convenient
wheelchair access. For your convenience, your ASKO washer/dryer
has controls on the front, making them easy to reach.
Internal (vent-less) condenser
Your ASKO washer/dryer uses a condenser dryer, so doesn’t need a
vent to the outside like a traditional dryer. Instead, the washer/dryer
conveniently drains water through the drain hose. This makes it ideal
for installation in closets, older homes without vents, RVs and marine
applications.
Cool down program
Your ASKO dryer finishes with up to a 20-minute cool-down program
to reduce wrinkles and decrease wear and tear on clothes. When you
take your clothes out of the dryer, they are dry but not hot.
