otherwise, the dryer may slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.
INFORMATION!
The dryer must stand level and stable on a solid base.
INFORMATION!
If the dryer is placed on an elevated stable base, the dryer has to be additionally secured
against tipping.
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.
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.
26
Leveling the appliance
It is important to level your dryer to prevent excessive vibration or noise when the appliance is operating.
This can be achieved by adjusting the dryer's feet.
Use a spirit level and spanner 22. The spanner is not supplied.1
Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet, which allow
levelling up to +/- 1 cm.
2
INFORMATION!
Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly
the result of improper installation.
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.
27
Combination of washing machine and tumble dryer installation
Freestanding installation
The washing machine and the dryer can be placed next to each other.1
When positioning the appliance, observe the required clearances from the top and side surfaces
of the washing machine and tumble dryer. (See chapter Dryer installation clearances when installing
in a room.)
2
The surface on which the washing machine and/or dryer is placed should be clean and level.3
Due to the door opening direction and the handling process of laundry, it is recommended to
place the washing machine on the left and the tumble dryer on the right.
4
28
Stacked installation
Certain dryers and washing machines of the Gorenje brand can be installed in a stacked config-
uration. In this case, a so-called Stacking Kit (Dryer-to-washer Installation Kit, hereinafter referred
to as the Stacking Kit) must be used.
1
The Stacking Kit can be purchased from an authorised service centre. Detailed installation instruc-
tions are supplied with the Stacking Kit.
It is available in white (product code: 20018019 SKGUP1) or black (product code: 20018049
SKGUP1B).
For information on the compatibility of different types of washing machines and dryers for
stacking, consult your retailer or check the compatibility details in the technical data sheet of the
Stacking Kit.
2
The floor surface on which the washing machine is placed must be clean and level. The surface
of the washing machine on which the Stacking Kit is installed must also be clean.

Dryer installation clearances when installing in a room
For safety reasons, the minimum distance between the back of the appliance and the wall must be
at least 5 cm, and the distance between the appliance and any furniture above or beside it must be
at least 10 cm.
When positioning the dryer, also consider other elements in the room, such as doors or windows and
how they open into the space. The dryer must have sufficient clearance for the door to open. See
chapter DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER/Technical data.
Observe the required minimum clearances as shown in the picture.
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.
It is not recommended to install the dryer under a countertop.

4.3 Draining the condensate
Moisture from the laundry is extracted as humid air passes through the heat exchanger and collects
in the condensate container.
If the condensate water tank is full and needs to be emptied, The water tank is full is displayed on the
screen. Empty the condensate water tank and confirm this by pressing the selector.
To avoid emptying the condensate tank, run the condensate discharge hose located at the back of
the appliance directly into a drain.
Remove the rubber hose from the attachment (A).1
Attach the supplied water drain hose to the same fitting (A).2
The supplied drain hose can be routed to a sink drain by attaching it to the tap (B), to the sink
siphon (C), or to a floor drain (D).
3
Then, the water is pumped directly into a washbasin, a siphon, or a floor drain.
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!
Do not pull the drain hose, and make sure it is not under tension, clamped, or bent.
Always use the hoses supplied with the dryer.
31
4.4 Connecting the dryer to the electricity supply
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
We recommend using over-voltage protection to protect the appliance in case of a
lightning strike.
WARNING!
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 data).

10. TIPS FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC USE
YOUR DRYER
In this chapter, you will learn about:
– achieving optimally dried laundry and correct loading of the dryer,
– preventing unpleasant odours and extending the lifespan of your dryer,
– using drying programmes effectively,
– reducing energy consumption.
INFORMATION!
The most economical way of drying is to dry the recommended amount of laundry in each
batch (see chapter DRYING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1–7) / Choose the drying program).
10.1 Tips for optimally dried laundry
INFORMATION!
Before drying, the laundry must be properly spun. A higher spin speed in the washing machine
results in shorter drying times and lower energy consumption.
Do not dry unspun laundry!
Very damp or unevenly distributed laundry will prolong the drying process. Before loading the dryer,
shake out the items to allow better air circulation in the drum.
Fabric softener is not necessary during washing, as laundry becomes soft and supple after tumble
drying.
Sort the laundry according to fabric type and desired dryness level. Thicker items (e.g. towels) take
longer to dry than thinner ones (e.g. T-shirts). For best results, avoid mixing items with very different
properties.
Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be deformed is not recommended.
Laundry suitable for tumble drying is marked with the symbol . If the symbol is not shown, the fabric
may not be heat-resistant. When the symbol is indicated on the label, tumble drying is not permitted.
For delicate fabrics (e.g. wool, sensitive synthetics), select suitable programmes with lower temperatures
or dry the items in the air.
To reduce creasing, avoid overdrying. For garments that will be ironed, select a lower dryness level.
INFORMATION!
Loading the dryer according to the capacity specified for each programme ensures better
energy efficiency. Overloading may lead to uneven drying and longer programme duration.
When drying a small load or individual items, the sensor may not detect the actual moisture level in
the laundry. In this case, we recommend using the (Time) programme to achieve sufficient dryness.
75
10.2 Preventing unpleasant odours and maintaining
performance
INFORMATION!
After each drying cycle, remove lint from the filter. A clogged filter significantly increases energy
consumption and prolongs drying time.
If the dryer is not connected directly to a drain, empty the condensate tank after each drying cycle.
Clean the heat exchanger regularly (see chapter CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE / Cleaning of the
heat exchanger). Dust and lint reduce airflow and operating efficiency.
INFORMATION!
For a quick refresh of dry laundry, you can use a short-duration program or a steam program
(e.g. Steam refresh), such as the non-heated Air refresh program, which removes unpleasant
odours from lightly worn garments.
10.3 Recommendations for energy-efficient drying
Remove as much moisture as possible in the washing machine. Drying laundry that has been spun
at high speeds is significantly more energy-efficient.
Use automatic drying programmes whenever possible, as they adjust the duration to the load and
detected moisture level, helping reduce energy consumption.
INFORMATION!
Regular maintenance (cleaning filters, emptying the condensate container) is essential to
prevent extended drying times.
Avoid drying quick-drying fabrics (such as synthetics) together with heavy cotton items.
76
11. CONSUMPTION VALUES
