Free topological universal algebras and absolute neighborhood retracts

We prove that for a complete quasivariety $K$ of topological $E$-algebras of countable discrete signature $E$ and each submetrizable $ANR(k_\omega)$-space $X$ its free topological $E$-algebra $F_K(X)$ in the class $K$ is a submetrizable $ANR(k_\omega)$-space.
