INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Remove all packaging. When removing the packaging, make sure not to damage the dryer with a sharp object.
Selecting the room
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.
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).
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«).

At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Opening the dryer door (top view)
|
|
See chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER/Technical information«. a = 625 mm b = 1134 mm |
The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer, in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer door is restricted.
For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, a carpet must not obstruct the openings.
After installation, wait for 24 hours without moving the appliance before using it for the first time. 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.
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.
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.
The dryer must stand level and stable on a solid base.
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.
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper installation.
Condense water
The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank.
During the drying process, an indicator light (symbol 
), 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.
|
|
|
|
1Release the hose from the holder on the back wall of the dryer (left hand side, below the top cover). |
|
|
2Run the hose into a drain at a height of no more than 80 cm from the floor. |
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.
Always use the hoses supplied with the dryer.
Connecting to the power mains
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 DRYER/Technical information«).
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a lightning strike.
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.
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person authorized by the manufacturer.
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.
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.
If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least 24 hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.
Failure to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be covered by the warranty.
Be careful not to damage the cooling system (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION/Dryer placement«).
Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the dryer. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the dryer shall not be covered by the warranty.
The belt may only be replaced by a service technician authorized by the manufacturer, who can supply the original spare part with the code 907722 BELT POLY-V 7PH 1971 HUTCHINSON; 883647 BELT POLY-V 7PHE 1942 HUTCHINSON (depending on the model).

set the DELAY END (DELAYING THE END OF THE DRYING PROGRAM) to 9 hours.
ANTI CREASE (CREASE PREVENTION)
The function is used to prevent creasing.
If you do not remove the laundry from the dryer immediately after the completion of
the drying programme, we recommend using the (7) ANTI CREASE (CREASE PREVENTION) function. This function has to be selected before the start of
the drying process, and it is active for 2 h.
When you open the dryer door after the completion of the drying programme, the function
is automatically deactivated.

To turn off the sound, simultaneously press the positions (4) EXTRA DRY 
(DRYNESS LEVEL) and (5) DELAY END 
(DELAYING THE END OF THE DRYING PROGRAM) and hold them for at least 3 seconds.
To reactivate the sound, simultaneously press the positions (4) and (5) and hold them for at least 3 seconds. If you turn off the sound, then there is no audible signal at the end of a drying programme.
CHILD LOCK
To activate or deactivate the child lock, simultaneously press the positions (5) DELAY END (DELAYING THE END OF THE DRYING PROGRAM) and (7) ANTI CREASE 
(CREASE PREVENTION) and hold them for at least 3 seconds until the symbol 
(6) lights up or goes off, respectively.
If the child lock is activated, programme or additional functions cannot be changed. The child lock remains active after the dryer is switched off. Therefore, it has to be deactivated before a new programme can be selected. It can also be switched off during the drying process.
Some functions are not available and cannot be selected with certain programmes; an acoustic signal and a flashing light will indicate such cases (see EXTRA FUNCTION TABLE).
After disconnecting the dryer from the power mains, all settings will be reset to their default factory values, except for the acoustic signal loudness, anti-crease, and child lock setting.

DRYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1 - 6)
Step 1: Heed the labels on the laundry
You can find more detailed instructions online.
Step 2: Preparing for the laundry drying process
Sort the laundry by type and thickness of the fabric (see PROGRAMME TABLE).
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be deformed is not recommended. The following types of laundry may not be dried in the dryer as this may cause your garments to deform:
-
leather garments and other leather products,
-
garments that are waxed or treated in any other way,
-
garments with major wooden, plastic, or metal parts;
-
garments with spangles;
-
garments with metal parts subject to rusting.
Switching on the dryer
With some models, the dryer drum is lit as well.
(The light in the dryer drum is not suitable for any other use.)
The light in the dryer drum may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician or an authorized person.
Loading the dryer
Do not insert laundry into the dryer if it has not been wrung or spun (recommended minimum spinning cycle: 800 rpm).
When drying larger items (bedding, towels, tablecloths etc.), loosen them and then insert them into the dryer drum.
Do not overload the drum! See PROGRAMME TABLE and observe your nominal load as indicated on the rating plate.
If the dryer drum is overloaded, the laundry will be more wrinkled and perhaps unevenly dried.
Step 3: Choosing the drying programme
Choose the programme by rotating the programme selector knob (2) to the left or to the right (depending on the type of laundry and the desired level of dryness). See PROGRAMME TABLE.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, make sure to switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the power mains (unplug the power cord from the outlet).
The dryer is fitted with a filtering system consisting of several filters that prevent any impurities from entering the heat exchanger system.
|
|
1Lint filter |
|
2Heat pump filter |
|
|
3Condensate tank |
The dryer may never be operated without the filters in place or with damaged filters, as excessive amount of accumulated fibres from the fabric could cause malfunction or failure of the dryer.
Cleaning the door net filter in the door
Clean the lint filter after each drying cycle.
|
|
|
|
1Open the filter housing. |
|
|
2 Pull out the lint filter. |
|
|
3Gently scrape the filter to remove the lint, i.e. the lining of fibres and threads, with your hand or with a cloth. |
|
|
4If necessary, clean the filter housing and door gasket as well. |
|
|
5Insert the net filter and close the filter housing. |
Make sure you do not pinch your fingers with the filter cover.
Cleaning the heat pump filter
During cleaning, some water may be spilled. It is therefore recommended to place an absorbent cloth on the floor.
|
|
|
|
1Open the outside cover. Hold the levers on the inside cover and rotate them as indicated by the arrows. |
|
|
2Remove the inside cover along with the heat pump filter. |
|
|
3Detach the front filter part from the heat pump filter housing |
|
|
4,5Pull the foam filter from the housing. Clean it with a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush attachment. Reinstall the clean foam filter into the filter housing. |
and open it. Push the foam part of the filter out from the housing. Use a damp cloth
to clean the heat pump filter mesh.Do not rinse the foam filter under water to avoid micro-plastic effluent into the groundwater!
Insert the heat pump foam filter into the housing and close the outer cover (push it upwards toward the machine until it latches into place).
The heat pump filter has to be correctly inserted into its slot. Otherwise, the heat exchanger installed inside the dryer may be clogged or damaged.
Clean the foam filter at least after every five drying cycles.
Cleaning of the heat exchanger
Do not touch the inner metal parts of the heat exchanger with bare hands. Danger of injury on sharp parts. Use appropriate protection gloves when cleaning the heat exchanger.
Incorrect cleaning of the metal fins of the heat exchanger can permanently damage the tumble dryer. Do not press on the metal fins with hard objects like for example the plastic tube of a vacuum cleaner.
The dust and dirt in the metal fins of the heat exchanger can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and a soft brush attachment.
Access to the heat exchanger is possible, when the heat pump filter is removed as is described in the chapter »Cleaning the heat pump filter«.
Without pressing, gently move the brush attachment only in the direction of the metal fins from top to bottom. Too much pressure can damage or bend the metal fins of the heat exchanger.
We recommend you clean the heat exchanger at least every twelve months.
Emptying the condensate tank
Empty the condensate tank after each drying cycle.

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.

The Cotton Eco programme is suitable for drying wet cotton laundry and is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on eco-design. |
|
|
The Cotton Eco programme is the most efficient programme in terms of energy consumption for drying wet cotton laundry. |
|
|
All values in the table are provided per drying cycle. |
|
|
The values provided for all programmes, except for the Cotton Eco programme, are for information only. |
You can save energy by filling up the household tumble dryer to the maximum capacity specified for each programme.
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 a programme or do anything else after switching on the dryer, the dryer will switch off automatically after 5 minutes to save energy. Indicator light on the (3) START/PAUSE button will flash.
The display will be reactivated if you rotate the programme selector knob or press the (1) ON/OFF button or open the dryer door. If you do not do anything for 5 minutes after the end of the programme, the display unit will be switched off as well. Indicator light on the (3) START/PAUSE button will flash.
