Frequently Asked Questions - WTA4000BY GORENJE

Can I dry all types of fabrics in the Gorenje WTA4000BY?

No. Avoid drying airtight fabrics (e.g., rubber-coated), delicate materials like silk or synthetic curtains, and wool or wool-containing fabrics. Always check the care labels on your laundry.

How do I clean the fluff filter?

Open the door, pull the filter upwards, remove the fluff by hand, and reinsert the filter. Clean it after every drying cycle to maintain efficiency.

What does the Low heat button do?

The Low heat button reduces the drying temperature for temperature-sensitive fabrics like acrylics. Refer to the fabric care instructions before using.

Why does my laundry feel damp after the program ends?

This is normal due to residual heat. If the laundry is still too wet after cooling, select a longer drying time or run a short additional cycle.

Can I stack this dryer on a washing machine?

Yes, but only with the optional washer-dryer stack connection set (order no. WTZ 1250). Installation must be done by an expert for safety.

How long does a typical drying cycle take?

Drying times vary by fabric, load size, and spin speed. For example, a 5 kg cotton load at 1200 rpm spin takes about 70 minutes for cupboard dry.

What should I do if the dryer does not start?

Check that the dryer is plugged in, the door is closed, a drying time is selected, and the Start button has been pressed. Also ensure the household fuse has not tripped.

How can I reduce energy consumption?

Spin laundry thoroughly before drying, fill the dryer to maximum capacity, clean the fluff filter regularly, and ensure good room ventilation.

Where can I find the model and serial number?

The rating plate is located on the door frame (visible when the door is open). The product number (E-Nr.) and manufacture number (FD) are needed for spare parts and service.

Can I use an extension cord with this dryer?

No. Do not use multiple plugs, couplings, or extension cords. Plug the dryer directly into a properly installed earthed socket.

Notes on laundry

Labelling of fabrics

Check the following fabric symbols:

DRYING
	Can be dried in a tumble-dryer
	Wring out and hang on a washing line to dry
	Do not wring, hang out wet to dry
	Wring out, lay on a flat surface to dry
	Do not dry in a tumble-dryer
	Dry at normal temperatures
	Dry at low temperatures

Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:

☐ Airtight fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated fabrics).
☐ Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) – they may crease
☐ Dripping-wet laundry – high energy consumption
□ Wool or fabrics containing wool.
□ Observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Tips on drying

Important for all drying cycles:

☐ To obtain a uniform drying result: sort the laundry by fabric type and drying program.
☐ Fasten zips, hooks and eyes. Tie loose belts, apron strings etc, together.
☐ Do not over-dry easy-care laundry: Risk of creasing. Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
☐ Do not over-dry laundry.
☐ Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. Leave laundry folded up for a short while. This helps the residual moisture to distribute evenly.

First use

Drying

Please read this instruction manual before using the dryer for the first time:

1. Open the door.
2. Place the laundry into the empty drum.

Ensure that the drum contains only laundry.

1. Close the door.
2. Read the programme information – read off the required drying time and
3. Set the drying time selector accordingly.
4. Set additional functions if required (see page 16).
5. Press Start button ◆.

2. Select the new drying time using the drying time selector.
3. Press Start button ◆.

Selecting a program

Selecting

Your dryer offers different drying times and the additional Low heat function (see page 16).

Our drying programs are designed to protect your laundry with minimum energy consumption. Due to residual heat after drying, your laundry feels damper than it really is.

If the dryness of the laundry is not sufficient after cooling down, use a longer drying time or continue drying.

The following table gives drying times for 5 kg of laundry at different spin speeds for the Cupboard dry programme.

Type of washing	Drying temperature	Additional function	Spin speed
		Low heat	1200 rpm 800 rpm
			Drying time (min) Ⓛ

Cleaning and care

Cleaning the dryer

Risk of explosion

There is a risk of explosion from solvents.

Never use solvents for cleaning.

The dryer may be damaged if it is not cleaned correctly. Do not spray the dryer with a water jet. Do not use abrasive agents or general-purpose cleaners.

□ Clean the housing and the control panel with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.

Fluff filter

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with a grid pattern inside, showing directional arrows (no text or symbols)

Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle.

Bobbling (fluff) occurs when fabrics become worn. These bobbles come off during the drying cycle and collect in the fluff filter.

A clogged filter results in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

1. Open the door.
2. Pull the filter out towards the top.
3. Remove the fluff (by drawing your hand across the filter).
4. Replace the filter (it can only be inserted one way round).
5. Close the door.

Risk of injury

The dryer is very heavy.

Do not attempt to lift it on your own.

Do not lift the dryer by any of the protruding parts (e.g. the door) – they may break off.

Risk of tripping

There is a risk of tripping due to cables or hoses hanging down.

Secure loose cables or hoses.

Check the dryer for damage caused during transportation. Do not connect the dryer if it has visible signs of damage. If in doubt, contact a specialist retailer.

Empty the dryer completely before transporting.

Setting up the dryer

Never place the appliance behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with the hinge on the opposing side to the appliance.

Position the appliance so that the door of the tumble dryer can be opened unimpeded.

That exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

☐ The dryer must be positioned so it is level on the floor. Use a spirit level to ensure that this is the case. The height of the feet can be adjusted. If necessary, use these to line the dryer up, as described below:
☐ Loosen the counter nuts.
☐ Turn the feet so that they compensate for the height of the machine.
□ Retighten the counter nuts.
