Because ASKO washers have their own heating
element, you only need to have a cold water inlet.
The machine is plumbed with the connection hose
that comes with it. The water pressure should be in
the range of 15–146 PSI.
WARNINGWARNING

WARNING
Do not plumb to hot water because all rinses will
then be hot and wrinkling will occur.
The water supply must have a shut-off valve. If the
piping is new, the line should be flushed thoroughly
to remove any foreign particles that might clog the
strainer in the water inlet valve.
Fill hose: 3/4” garden hose
Machine Connection: 3/4” metric thread
Length: 5 ft. (1.5 m)
NOTE:
The metric end attaches to the washer.

The washing machine can be located as a freestanding
unit. It is essential that the machine is leveled and
the locknuts are tight to prevent excessive vibration
during the spin cycles. Also be sure to leave a
minimum of 1/2” (12.5 mm) of space between the
washer and the dryer.
When installing the unit next to a wall, be sure to
leave at least 1/2” (12.5 mm) of space between the
unit and the wall. Never push the washer flush
against the wall because it may damage the machine
casing or the wall.

ASKO washers can be installed beneath a cabinet or
worktop with a minimum height of 34” (863.6
mm). There must be a gap of at least 1/4” (.64 mm)
all around the machine, including between the rear
edge of the machine top panel and the back wall.
The opening width must be at least 24” (600 mm).
Space must also be available for the inlet and drain
hoses. See the diagram below for measurements and
positions.
If the drain outlet is higher than 24”, you
will need to recess the connections.

It is important that the machine is level so it won’t
vibrate excessively during the spinning cycles. Each
foot on the washer is adjustable, so you can level
the washer on any surface. Once it is level, securely
tighten the lock nuts on the feet to prevent excessive
vibration during the spin cycles.

ASKO washers should never be stacked on a
counter or a dryer. You can, however, stack an
ASKO dryer on an ASKO washer. Refer to page
