DEAYED START
This option lets you set the dryer to start at the most
convenient time. This feature is also useful in areas
where utility companies offer discount rates during off-
peak hours. You can set delayed start from 1 hour to 24
hours, in one-hour increments.
To set a delayed start time, press the button until the
number of hours you wish to delay starting the machine
displays on the LED, as illustrted below:
If you pass the time you wanted to select, continue to
press the button until the correct time displays. If you
decide not to delay starting the unit, continue to press
the button until "0" displays.
Press Start and the unit will start after the number of
hours you selected has passed.
To cancel Delay Start after you have pressed the Start
button, press and hold the Stop button until the LED
displays the program number or, if the program knob is
set on 5 or 6, the number of minutes. You can then press
Start and the unit will start right then.
TEMPERAURE CONTROL
You have two temperature options: Normal and Low. The
Normal setting should be used for heavier fabrics, such
as denim, cotton, linen, etc. The Low setting should be
used for lighter, more delicate fabrics, such as synthetics,
permanent press, acrylics, etc.
The indicator light will stay lit when Low is selected. It will
remain off when Normal is selecte.
PROGRAMS
Your ASKO dryer has our state-of-the-art Sensidry
system. This means it has a humidity sensor that ensures
different fabrics always dry thoroughly. This sensor turns
off the heat when the laundry has reached the appropriate
dryness.
The Extra Dry, Dry, Normal Dry, and Iron Dry programs
are automatic (thermostat-controlled) programs designed
for certain types of loads, as defi ned in the table below.
The sensor detects different levels of humidity with
each program. It is important, therefore, to select the
appropiate program for the type of load you are drying.
If you prefer, you can select Timed Dry, which does not

seconds when the program is complete. The indicator
light will stay lit when this option is on.
If you selected the Anti-crease option, the buzzer will

COOL-DOWN
Every program, except Air Fluff, ends with a cool-down
cycle that tumbles the clothes without heat to reduce

automatically uses the Low temperature setting, but you
can change it to Normal by depressing the Temperature

When using Timed Dry, 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.
