We obtained a low-resolution optical spectra of ASASSN-14fc (vsnet-alert 17605) on Aug 9.09 UT using a 0.31-m DK telescope, slit spectroscope 600 l/mm (400-750 nm, resolution 0.5 nm, 12 x 1200 sec exposures). The strong blue continuum and narrow emissions for H-alpha and HeII 4686 confirm that the object is a dwarf nova outburst.
