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«).
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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
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.
WARNING!
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.
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.
6

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.
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a
temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
At least two persons are required to install the tumble dryer on
top of a washing machine.
Place the dryer on a level and stable solid (concrete) base.
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.
Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).
For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, a carpet
must not obstruct the openings.
The air in the room where the dryer is installed may not
contain dust particles.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back
flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels,
including open fires.
7

The lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the
tumble 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 dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in
the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the
tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
DANGER OF FIRE!
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
8

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.
That the lint trap has to be cleaned frequently, if applicable.
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«).
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.
9

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.
WARNING!
Child safety
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
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«.
The dryer is made in compliance with all relevant safety
standards.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have

Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play
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.
The tumble dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals
have been used for cleaning.
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.
If the net filter is clogged, the overheating automatic
switch-off system may be activated. Clean the filter, wait
for the dryer to cool down, and try running it again. If the
dryer still fails to start, call a service technician.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
The refrigerant R290 in this appliance is environmentally
friendly yet combustible and may ignite if it comes into
contact with open flames or ignition sources. Keep naked
flames and ignition sources away from the appliance.

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.
