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).

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«).

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

WARNING!
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.

WARNING!
For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, a carpet must not obstruct the openings.

INFORMATION!
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.

INFORMATION!
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper installation.
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!
The dryer must stand level and stable on a solid base.
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.

Draining the condensate
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 (10)), 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.

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 DRYER/Technical information«).

ELECTRIC SHOCK!
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a lightning strike.

WARNING!
The dryer shall not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.

INFORMATION!
A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person authorized by the manufacturer.

INFORMATION!
Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.

INFORMATION!
Do not connect the tumble dryer to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or a hair dryer.

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.
