INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION You have in your hand the ASKO Service Manual for the new generation of washing machines, that are friendly to the environment in both their manufacture and their use. This new generation of washing machines has been designed for ease of servicing. By this we mean that it’s a simple job, for example, to replace a damaged side panel. That’s why we’ve changed the design from a one-piece shell to a split shell.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION TRANSPORT SUPPORTS Before the machine can be used, the 3 transport supports must be removed. Each transport support consists of a screw, a washer and a transport sleeve. The transport sleeves are used after the supports have been removed, to plug the holes in the transport beam. 2 Removing the transport support 1. Undo the screw and remove the washer. 2. Remove the transport sleeve by first raising it up and than taking it out. 3.
INSTALLATION LOCATION OF THE WASHING MACHINE The washing machine can be either free-standing or built in. P1 P2 P3 P4 Start/Stop P5 P6 P7 P8 A. Free-standing The washing machine can be located as a freestanding unit. B. Built-in The washing machine can be built in under a work top with a working height of 850 - 900 mm. Leave a 5 mm gap all round the machine, including a space between the rear edge of the top cover and the wall behind it.
INSTALLATION WATER CONNECTION The machine is plumbed in with the connection hose that comes with it. The water pressure shall be 0.1-1MPa (approx. 1-10kp/cm2 ; 10-100N/ cm2). The water supply must have a stop cock. If the piping is new, it can be advisable to first thoroughly flush it through so that any dirt will be flushed out. Otherwise, any dirt in the piping could block the filter in the machine's inlet valve and stop the water supply.
INSTALLATION DRAIN CONNECTION Machine with drain pump The machine is delivered with a connected drain hose that shall be connected to a suitable sink or other drain connection. The height shall be 500 900 mm above floor level. Make sure the drain hose does not kink. Machine with drain valve An outlet hose is supplied with the machine. This must be connected to the outlet on the machine and empty into a floor drain or gutter drain.
INSTALLATION CONNECTING TO A COIN MECHANISM Connection to a coin mechanism must be carried out by a qualified electrician. A special connecting cable is required to connect the machine to a coin mechanism. This can be ordered as a spare part, art. no. 92 090 95. 1 1. Remove the 3 screws at the rear of the top cover. Remove the top cover. 2. Knock out the punching from the bottom of the rear bracket. 2 3. Connect the socket of the connect cable as shown in the pictures 3 and 4. 3 4.
INSTALLATION The conducters in the connecting cable No. Designation conducter 1,4 Signal B2 Line B3 Neutral B5 Reset B6 Ground The coin mechanism shall be supplied by B2 and B3. Coin mechanism with timer A short circuit is required to start the washing machine. This short circuit shall be done by the coin mechanism for a specified time. Recommended time is 10 minutes. This means that the machine must be started within 10 minutes after insert of coin(s).
MOTORFUNKTIONS MOTOR- AND PROGRAMFUNCTIONS Out-of-balance check and spin drying There are 2 different spin dry sequences, long and short. Both consist of a preliminary spin, the washing cycle and a main spin dry. Before the preliminary spin the machine runs a separating cycle at 100 rpm, and measures the drum inertia on the way up and down. This checks for out-of-balance. During this cycle the holder may make violent movements although there is nothing wrong.
MOTOR- AND PROGRAM FUNCTIONS Programmes EURO-MOP-MEDICAL-MOP WMC55 is delivered with one of the programmes EURO, MOP, MEDICAL or MOP. The programmes are described on the following pages. All programmes are not sold on all markets. The difference on the machines is how the jumpers are set on the program controller board. The jumper settings are described in the circuit diagram, which is enclosed with the machine and with this manual.

FAULT TRACING FAULT TRACING The machine will not start 1. Is the door shut properly? Push it firmly. A flashing symbol appears in the display if the machine is started with the door open. 2. Is there power to the machine. Check the fuse box. 3. Check if the child lock is activated. To start the machine when the child lock is activated, hold in the -button for 3 seconds. See Changing settings. Start/Stop Door will not open 1. Check that the power switch is on. 2.
FAULT TRACING The machine does not spin dry If 0000 is flashing in the top right corner of the display the machine has not spin dried. The machine has a built-in out-of-balance sensor that will reduce the spin drying speed or stop spin drying altogether if the load is too unbalanced. 1. Open the washing lid and redistribute the laundry. 2. Run the "Spin drying" program to check that the problem has been solved. The machine does not empty 1. Check the drain system. 2. Check the level switch. 3.
PROBLEMS PROBLEMS COMMON QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS More information is found under ”Fault tracing”. The lid will not open Check that the main power switch is on and that the indication lamp is on. The machine will not start If the lid is closed, check the house fuses. The machine will not take in water 1. Is the stop cock open? 2. Check that the inlet hose filter is not blocked. Foam in the last rinse, water remains in the machine 1. Check that the drain hose is not blocked or sharply kinked. 2.
PROBLEMS 4. Certain materials such as linen and cotton crease naturally, regardless of how they are washed. Torn or damaged material Material can be damaged by sharp objects, such as metal parts on clothes or objects in pockets. 1. Empty all pockets and turn the garment inside out. 2. Close hooks and zips. 3. Turn inside out for washing. Should I use a rinsing agent? Yes, use a good quality product. Should I use whitener? Extra amounts of whitener are not necessary.
