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.
18
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«).

The Cotton Eco programme is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on eco-design.*
NATUREDRY Drying laundry at a lower temperature than normal in order to reduce the possibility
of shrinkage. During the drying process, the temperature is decreased by means of accurate
control of heat pump operation and an additional temperature sensor. Therefore, shrinkage of
clothes with this program can be up to 50%*) lower than with normal drying at a normal drying
temperature (depending on the garments and type of fabric).
The program is intended for garments that may be dried in a dryer.
1)
If your laundry is not dried to the desired dryness level, use extra functions or use a more suitable
programme.
DrySync function
The DrySync function allows communication between the washing machine and the dryer. When the
washing machine completes the washing cycle, the suggested drying program appears automatically
on the dryer, based on the washing program that was used. This function can only be activated or
deactivated in the ConnectLife mobile app. Animation on the knob will indicate that the function is
activated, and will appear simultaneously on the appliance. The DrySync function can only operate
between two connectible appliances of the same brand.

(call centre).
Sounds
INFORMATION!
In the initial drying stage or during drying, the compressor and the heat pump cause noise; this,
however, does not affect the tumble dryer operation.
Humming sound: compressor noise; the noise level depends on the program and the drying stage.
Buzzing sound: the compressor is occasionally ventilated.
Pumping or liquid flowing sound: the pump is pumping the condensate into the condensate tank.
Clicking sound: start of automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger (compressor).
Rumbling or rattling noise: during drying when the laundry also includes hard parts (such as buttons,
zippers etc.)

TIPS FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR
DRYER
INFORMATION!
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.
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.
< 0,5P o = weighted power when off [W]
< 0,5P I = weighted power when in standby [W]
5,00T I = standby time [min]
INFORMATION!
Low mains voltage and different drying loads may affect the drying time; the remaining time
displayed is adjusted accordingly during the drying process.
