SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE!
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapours that could ignite or
explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or
attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended
in the user-maintenance instructions or in published
user-repair instructions that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
5
718585
9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
11. Clean lint screen before or after each load.
12. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
13. The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
14. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.
Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute
to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch
fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads,
the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before
the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
15. WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Carefully read the instructions for use before using the
dryer.
Please, do not use the dryer without reading and
understanding these instructions for use first.

8
718585
Always use the ducts or hoses supplied with the dryer.
WARNING: As this is an evacuation dryer, it does not
have a condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative
purpose and it is fixed; it is not intended for opening. If
excessive force is applied, the handle may break.
Install the dryer in a room with adequate ventilation and a
temperature between 50°F (10°C) and 77°F (25°C).
Place the dryer on a level and stable solid (concrete) base.
WARNING: Do not place the dryer behind lockable or
sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the
dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door
can always be freely opened.
Never block the air exhaust (evacuation opening).
WARNING: Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long
fibres as this may impede air circulation.
Do not connect the dryer to a chimney or a duct that is also
used to extract products of combustion of natural gas or
other fuels from other appliances.
Air in the dryer environment should not contain dust
particles. The air where the dryer is installed should be
thoroughly ventilated to prevent reverse flow of gases
released from the gas appliances with open fire (e.g. a
fireplace).
9
718585
Make sure the fibres do not accumulate around the dryer.
Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels or
ducts used for appliances or devices that use natural gas or
other fuels for their operation.
The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent
furniture.
Do not use the dryer to dry any laundry that has not been
washed.
Laundry stained with oil, acetone, alcohol, oil derivatives,
stain removers, turpentine, wax, and wax removers should be
washed in a washing machine with hot water and detergent
before it is dried in the dryer.
Clothing that includes latex, rubber parts, shower and
bathing caps, and laundry or covers with rubber foam may
not be dried in the dryer.

with manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Remove all objects such as lighters and
matches from the pockets.
If the dryer is connected to an air exhaust system already
used for another appliance, a non-return valve must be
installed. Return flow into the dryer could damage the
appliance and the non-return valve prevents such flow.
10
718585
Clean the dryer filter after each drying cycle. If you have
removed the filter, replace it before the next drying cycle.
WARNING: 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).
After the drying process, unplug the dryer power cord
from the power outlet.
The dryer is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with physical or mental impairments, or persons
with lacking experience and knowledge. These persons
should be instructed about the use of the dryer by a person
responsible for their safety.
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.
11
718585
CHILD SAFETY
Do not allow children to play with the dryer.
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: DRYING

of inappropriate use. Make sure children do not play with
the dryer. Children may not clean the dryer or perform any
maintenance tasks without supervision.
12
718585
WARNING: DANGER OF HOT SURFACE
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.
SAFETY
WARNING: 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

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
WARNING: Install the clothes dryer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
WARNING: Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a
qualified installer.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow
all installation instructions.
WARNING: Save these instructions.
WARNING: Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic
venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type
identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting
materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct
clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
19
718585
Remove all packaging. When removing the packaging, make sure not to damage the dryer with a
sharp object.
WARNING:
• The appliance shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl
space, or a concealed space of a building;
• Only rigid or flexible metal duct shall be used for exhausting;
• In CANADA foil-type flexible ducts that comply with the UL 2158A, shall be used;
• In CANADA the exhaust duct shall be 102 mm in diameter;
• Maximum duct length shall be 2.4 m and maximum number of bends shall be 4;
• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m;
• The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend into the
duct and catch lint.

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 appliance back wall, and humid air exhaust opening on the side or back wall may
not be obstructed.
Place the appliance in a thoroughly ventilated room with a window or ventilation fan.
Connect the exhaust duct to the air exhaust opening. Do not connect the exhaust to a duct that is
also used for evacuation of combustion gases from other appliances or gases from appliances that
use other combustible substances for their operation.
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: Appliances are not intended to be installed in a
closet.

718585
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. Alternatively, the dryer can be
placed next to the washing machine (figures 1 and 3).
If your Gorenje washing machine is smaller (minimum depth 21½" (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 (dryer support (a) and vacuum feet (b) if they are not supplied) are available for
purchase at the service units.
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 be able to
hold the weight of the Gorenje dryer (see chapter »DESCRIPTION OF THE DRYER/Technical
information«).

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door, or door with a hinge on the opposite
side of the dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely
opened.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.
23
718585
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.
ADJUSTING THE DRYER FEET
Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow
levelling by +/- ½" (+/- 1 cm). Use a spirit level and spanner No. 22.

EVACUATION OF HUMID AIR
The dryer has two humid air exhaust openings (options a/b). Close one of them with a cap and
connect the air exhaust duct to the other one.
The distance between the dryer and the air evacuation opening (ventilation opening, window)
may not exceed 2 metres. Otherwise, moisture could accumulate in the air exhaust duct.
Do not evacuate the air from the dryer through channels used for appliances or devices that use
natural gas or other fuels for their operation.
25
CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS
2 h
718585
After installation, the dryer should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the
power mains; this allows the dryer to stabilize.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
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 may 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.
26
718585
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.
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 two hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.
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 OPTIBELT EPH 1906, code 104265; OPTIBELT 8 EPH
1941, code 160165; POLY-V 7PH 1956 HUTCHINSON, code 562038; HUTCHINSON 8 PHE 1942,
šifra 270313 (depending on the model).
27
718585
Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could damage the dryer (please observe the

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.
