SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Carefully read the instructions for use before using

the dryer.

Please, do not use the dryer without reading and

understanding these instructions for use first.

These instructions for use of a dryer are supplied with

different types or models of dryers. Therefore, they may
include descriptions of settings or equipment that are not
available in your dryer.

Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate

use of the dryer may result in damage to the laundry or the
appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the instruction manual
handy, near the dryer.

Instructions for use are available on our website at

[Link].

Your dryer is intended solely for household use. If the dryer

is used for professional, for-profit purpose or purpose
exceeding normal use in a household, or if the dryer is used by
a person who is not a consumer, the warranty period shall be
equal to the shortest warranty period required by relevant
legislation.

Follow the instructions for correct installation of the Gorenje

dryer and connection to the power mains (see chapter
»INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION«).
5
All and any repairs or maintenance tasks on the dryer should
only be done by trained experts. Unprofessional repair may
result in an accident or major malfunction.

To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be replaced

by the manufacturer, a service technician, or an authorized
person.

After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours
before it is connected to the power mains.

At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on

top of a washing machine.

The dryer shall not be connected to the power mains using an

extension cord.

Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended

for an electric shaver or a hair dryer.

Do not connect the dryer to power mains using an external

switching device such as a programme timer, or connect it to
power mains that is regularly switched on and off by the power
supply provider.

In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by authorized

manufacturers.

In case of incorrect dryer connection, incorrect use, or servicing

by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the cost of any
damage as such damage shall not be covered by warranty.

Always use the hoses supplied with the dryer.

6
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

Place the dryer on a level and stable solid (concrete) base.

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door

with a hinge on the opposite side of the dryer door hinge. Install
the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely
opened.

Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may
impede air circulation.

Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust

particles. The air where the dryer is installed should be
thoroughly ventilated to prevent reverse flow of gases released
from the gas appliances with open fire (e.g. a fireplace).

Make sure the fibres do not accumulate around the dryer.

In the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, keep

ventilation openings clear of obstruction.

The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent

furniture.

After installation, let the dryer rest still for 24 hours before using
it. If the dryer has to be laid down on one of the sides during
transport or servicing, place it with its left side, viewing from
the appliance front, downwards.

Do not use the dryer to dry any laundry that has not been
washed.

7
Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives, stain
removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be washed
in a washing machine with hot water and detergent before it is
dried in the dryer.

Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and bathing

caps, and laundry or covers with rubber foam shall not be dried
in the dryer.

Use laundry conditioners or similar products in compliance with

manufacturer's instructions.

DANGER OF FIRE!
Remove all objects such as lighters and matches from the
pockets.

If the condensate tube is blocked or clogged, then tumble dryer

operation is stopped (see chapter »PAUSING AND CHANGING
THE PROGRAMME/Full condensate tank«).

Before moving the dryer or before storing it in a non-heated

room during the winter, the condensate tank has to be emptied.

Clean the dryer filters after each drying cycle. If you have
removed the filters, replace them before the next drying cycle.

Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could

damage the dryer (please observe the recommendations and
warnings provided by the manufacturers of the cleaning agents).

Never add chemicals or fragrances into the condensate

tank (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER and
EMPTYING THE CONDENSATE TANK«).

8
After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord from
the power outlet.

The dryer uses a heat pump system to heat the air.

The system consists of a compressor and a heat exchanger.

When the dryer is started, compressor operation (the sound of
flowing liquid) or flow of refrigerant may be louder as long as
the compressor operates. This is not a sign of malfunction and
it will not affect useful life of the dryer. In time and with use of
the dryer this noise will become quieter.

The dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with physical or mental impairments, or persons with lacking
experience and knowledge. These persons should be instructed
about the use of the dryer by a person responsible for their
safety.

The warranty does not cover consumables, minor deviations

in colour, increased noise that results from appliance age and
which does not affect the functionality of the dryer, and
aesthetic defects on components, which do not affect the
dryer's functionality and safety.

9
 WARNING!
Child safety

Do not allow the children to play with the dryer.

Prevent your children and pets from entering the dryer drum.

Before closing the dryer door and running the programme,

make sure there is nothing except laundry in the drum (e.g.
if a child climbed into the dryer drum and closed the door
from the inside).

Activate the Child lock. See chapter »STEP 4: SETTING

THE EXTRA FUNCTIONS/Child lock«.

Do not let children younger than three years to come

near the dryer, unless they are under constant
supervision.

The dryer is made in compliance with all relevant safety

standards.

WARNING!
Child safety

This dryer may be used by children aged 8 years and above

and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, but only
if they are supervised during the use of the appliance, if they
have been provided relevant instructions regarding safe use
of the dryer, and if they understand the hazards of
inappropriate use. Make sure children do not play with the
dryer. Children may not clean the dryer or perform any
maintenance tasks without supervision.

near the door glass.

The back of the dryer may get very hot during operation.
Wait for the dryer to cool down completely before
touching its back side.

If you open the dryer door during the drying process, the
clothes may be very hot and there is a risk of burning.

Never stop the drying process before it is completed; if you

do interrupt the cycle for any reason, be careful when
removing the laundry from the drum as it is very hot. Quickly
remove the laundry from the drum and spread it to allow it
to cool down as quickly as possible.

11
Safety
DANGER OF FIRE!
Only use the dryer to dry laundry that was washed with
water. Do not dry any laundry that was washed or cleaned
with flammable cleaners or substances (such as gasoline,
trichloroethylene etc.) as this may result in an explosion.

If you have cleaned your clothes with industrial cleaners or

chemical substances, do not dry them in the dryer.

The dryer is protected with an automatic switch-off system

in case of overheating. This system will switch off the dryer
if the temperature is too high.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INFORMATION!
Remove all packaging. When removing the packaging, make sure not to damage the dryer with
a sharp object.

Selecting the room

INFORMATION!
The dryer may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum dryer operation,
we recommend observing the clearance from the walls as indicated in the figure. In case of failure
to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.

INFORMATION!
Vents on the back wall and the air exhaust opening on the front side of the dryer should never
be obstructed.

The room in which you will install the dryer should be sufficiently ventilated, with a temperature between
15°C and 25°C. Dryer operation at a lower environment temperature may result in condensate
accumulation in the dryer interior. Do not place the dryer into a place where there is danger of freezing.
Frozen water in the condensate tank and pump may damage the dryer.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in a very small room, as the drying process may take
longer due to limited amount of available air.
Lighting in the room should be sufficient to allow reading the information on the display unit on the
control panel.

Dryer placement
If you also have a Gorenje dryer of corresponding (same) dimensions, it can be placed on top of the
Gorenje washing machine; in this case, vacuum feet must be used and wall fixing bracket. Alternatively,
the dryer can be placed next to the washing machine (figures 1 and 3).

17
If your Gorenje washing machine is smaller (minimum depth 545 mm), than your Gorenje dryer, then
the dryer support has to be purchased extra (figure 2). The supplied vacuum feet must be used; they
are designed to prevent the dryer from slipping.
Additional equipment: tumble dryer bracket (a), vacuum feet (b) (if not supplied) and wall fixing bracket
(c), can be purchased at the service centre.
The surface on which the appliance is placed should be clean and level.
Gorenje washing machine onto which you intend to place the Gorenje dryer should hold the weight
of the Gorenje dryer (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).

19
Adjusting the dryer feet
Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow levelling
by +/- 1 cm. Use a spirit level and spanner No. 22.

INFORMATION!
Floor on which the dryer is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean and dry;
otherwise, the dryer may slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.

INFORMATION!
The dryer must stand level and stable on a solid base.

INFORMATION!
Incorrect levelling of the dryer with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, appliance sliding
across the room, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the dryer shall not be subject to
warranty.

INFORMATION!
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.

20
Draining the condensate
During the drying process, an indicator light (symbol (14), is lit on the display unit) warns when the
condensate tank is full and needs to be emptied.
To avoid emptying the condensate tank, run the condensate discharge hose located at the back of
the appliance directly into a drain.

1 Release the hose from

the holder on the back wall
of the dryer (left hand side,
below the top cover).

2 Run the hose into a drain

at a height of no more than
80 cm from the floor.

INFORMATION!
If you decide to run the condensate drain hose into a drain, make sure the hose is securely
fastened. This will prevent any water spillage which could result in unexpected damage.

WARNING!
Always use the hoses supplied with the dryer.

21
Connecting to the power mains

ELECTRIC SHOCK!
After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the
power mains; this allows the dryer to stabilize.

Connect the dryer to a grounded power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely
accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).
Information on your dryer is indicated on the rating plate (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE

22
Moving and transport after installation
After every drying cycle, a small amount of condensed water will remain in the dryer. Switch on the
dryer and choose one of the programmes, then let the appliance operate for approximately half a
minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent damage to the dryer during transport.
If the dryer cannot be transported in the upright position, tilt it to the left side.

ELECTRIC SHOCK!
After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is
connected to the power mains. The appliance should be installed and connected by a
trained technician.

TIPS FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR
DRYER
The most economical way of drying is to dry the recommended amount of laundry in each batch (see
PROGRAMME TABLE).
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be deformed is not recommended.
Use of conditioner in the washing cycle is not necessary as the laundry is soft and smooth after drying
in the dryer. Drying time will be shorter and power consumption will be lower if the garments are
thoroughly wrung or spun before drying. By selecting the appropriate drying programme, you will
avoid over-drying your laundry and problems with ironing or shrinkage of fabric.
Regular cleaning of the filters will lead to optimum drying time and minimum power consumption.
When drying smaller amounts of laundry or individual garments, the sensor may not perceive the
actual level of moisture in the laundry. In such cases, it is recommended to dry smaller items or
amounts with programmes for dryer laundry or with the timed programme.

56
TYPICAL CONSUMPTION TABLE

Standard programmes for cotton laundry in compliance with the currently effective regulation EU
392/2012.
The Cotton Standard programme , is intended for drying of normally wet cotton laundry. It is the
most efficient programme for drying cotton laundry in terms of power consumption.
Due to deviations in terms of type and amount of laundry, power supply oscillation, and environment
temperature and humidity, the values measured at the end user may differ from the one stated in the
table.

Low standby mode
If you do not run any program or choose any settings after switching on the dryer (programme selector
knob (1)), the display unit will be switched off after 5 minutes and switched to stand-by mode in order
to save energy.
The display unit can be reactivated by rotating the program selector knob. If you do not do anything
for 5 minutes after the end of a programme, the display unit will be switched off to save power.

P o = weighted power when off [W] < 0,5

P I = weighted power when in standby [W] < 0,5
T I = standby time [min] 5,00

Appliance with a wireless connection uses less than 2 W of electric energy in standby mode.

INFORMATION!
Low mains voltage and different drying loads may affect the drying time; the remaining time
displayed is adjusted accordingly during the drying process.
