OPTION BUTTONS
The Option buttons allow you to select wash
temperatures, spin speeds, delayed start, extra rinses,
high-water level, and anti-crease. Each of these options
is defined in more detail in the following paragraphs.
NOTE: The unit is programmed to retain the option
selections, except for temperatures above 140°
and Delayed Start.
Temperature Button
Select wash temperatures by pressing this button until
the temperature you desire displays on the LED. The
temperature options are 85°, 105°, 120°, 140°, 160°,
175°, and 205° F.
“C” on the LED indicates the wash temperature will be
the same as that of the incoming water (cold).
The wash temperature for the Wool and Hand/Delicate
wash programs can only be set for cold, 85° F, or 105° F.
NOTE: The temperature selection cannot be changed
after the main wash has started.
Spin Speed Button
Select the spin speed by pressing this button until the
spin speed you desire displays. The spin speeds advance
in 200 rpm increments. The minimum spin speed is 400
rpm and the maximum is 1400 rpm.
The spin speed for the Perma Press, Wool and Hand/
Delicate programs cannot be set higher than 800 rpm.
You can also select No Spin, which is indicated by a
zero on the LED. The program will not have a spin cycle,
but it will drain.
There is also a No Spin/No Drain option, which is
indicated in the LED by the letters “no d.” When you
select this option, the program will not have a spin cycle
and the unit will stop with water in the machine. You will
have to set the Program knob Drain, to drain the unit
before you can open the door. If you wish to spin the
load before you remove it, set the Program knob to Spin
so it will spin and drain.
NOTE: The spin speed can only be altered before the
main wash water is pumped out.
Delayed Start Button
This button lets you delay starting the program from 1
to 24 hours. This means you can set the washer to start
at the most convenient time for you, such as an hour
before you arrive home from work. This feature is also
useful in areas where utility companies offer discount
rates during off-peak hours.
To select delayed start, press this button until the number
of hours you wish to delay starting the program displays
in the LED then press Start.
If you change your mind before you press Start, you
can void delay start by continuing to press the button
until a zero displays in the LED. To void this selection
after you have pressed Start, press and hold the Start
button until the selected temperature displays on the
LED.
Super Rinse Button
Press this button to add two rinses. The indicator light
next to the button stays lit when this option is selected
(on). Press the button again to turn the option off. (This
option cannot be altered after the main wash water is
pumped out.)
High Water Button
The normal water level for an ASKO is just below the
bottom of the glass door. Some users prefer to see the
water level, so ASKO added this option, which increases
the water level to about an inch above the bottom of the
glass door. It doesn’t necessarily enhance the washer’s
cleaning performance.
The indicator light next to the button stays lit when this
option is on. To cancel this option, hold down the button
until the indicator light goes off. This option cannot be
