INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Remove all packaging. When removing the packaging, make sure not to damage the appliance with a sharp object.

REMOVING THE BLOCKING RODS

⚠️ Before the first use of the appliance, transport rods must be removed. A blocked washing machine may be damaged when it is switched on for the first time. Warranty shall be void in cases of such damage!

1 Move the hoses and undo the screws on the back of the washing machine.

Remove the two angular pieces.

2 Slide the angular pieces onto the groove in the blocking rod; before doing so, rotate the right angular piece to the opposite side.

3 Use the angular pieces to rotate the blocking rods by 90° and pull them out.

4 Cover the two holes through which the blocking rods were inserted with plastic plugs, and redo the screws that you undid in step 1. The plastic plugs are supplied in the bag with the washing machine instruction manual.

MOVING AND TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION

If you wish to move the washing machine after it has been installed, the angular pieces and at least one blocking rod have to be re-installed to prevent vibration damage to the washing machine during transport (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION/Removing the blocking rods«). If you lost the angular pieces and the blocking rods, they can be ordered from the manufacturer. After transport, the washing machine should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains, so that it can reach room temperature. The appliance should be installed and connected by a trained technician. ⚠️ Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the washing machine. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall not be covered by the warranty.

SELECTING THE ROOM

The floor on which the washing machine is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean and dry; otherwise, the washing machine may slide. Also, clean the bottom surface of the adjustable feet.

The washing machine must stand level and stable on a solid base.

ADJUSTING THE WASHING MACHINE FEET

Use a water level and spanner No. 32 (for feet) and 17 (for the nut).

1 Level the washing machine in longitudinal and transverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet.

2 After adjusting the height of the feet, firmly tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) using a spanner No 17, by turning them towards the bottom of the washing machine ↑ (see figure).

Incorrect levelling of the washing machine with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, appliance sliding across the room, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the washing machine is not subject to warranty.

Sometimes, unusual or louder noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper installation.

WASHING MACHINE 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) or next to it (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 (figure 2). It is essential to use the vacuum feet! Additional equipment (dryer support (a) and vacuum feet (b)) are available for purchase at service units. The surface on which the appliance is placed should be clean and level.

The 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 »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).

Washing machine installation clearances

The washing machine must not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture. For optimum washing machine operation, we recommend observing the clearances from the walls as indicated in the figure.

If the minimum required clearances are not observed, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured. Moreover, overheating can also occur (figures 1 and 2).

Installing the washing machine under a countertop is not recommended.

Opening the washing machine door (bird's-eye view)

See chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«.

a = Washing machine depth b = Depth with door open

Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.

CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY

Attach the hose to the water tap by screwing it onto the thread.

For normal washing machine operation, the pressure in the water mains should be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa (0.5 - 8 bar). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by measuring the water flow. In 15 seconds, 3 litres of water should flow from a fully open tap. If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back of the washing machine. Connections are labelled with letters C and H (C = cold, H = hot). Warm water (mixture of hot and cold water) is only added for programmes at 40 °C or higher. Tighten the water supply hose by hand, firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal (max. 2 Nm). After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks. Do not use pliers or similar tools when connecting the hose as this could damage the nut thread. Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.

AQUA STOP (ONLY WITH SOME MODELS)

If an internal tube or hose is damaged, a shut-off system is activated that cuts the water supply to the washing machine. In such case, the control glass (a) will turn red. Replace the water supply hose.

TOTAL AQUA STOP (ONLY WITH SOME MODELS)

If an internal tube or hose is damaged and if water is present on the bottom of the washing machine, a shut-off system is activated that cuts the water supply to the washing machine. In this case, the washing process will be stopped, water supply will be cut off, and the washing machine will switch on the pump and signal an error.

Do not dip the water supply hose with the Aqua stop system in water as it contains an electric valve. When connecting the water supply hose, make sure to connect it in a way that allows adequate and unobstructed water supply.

CONNECTING AND SECURING THE WATER DISCHARGE HOSE

Feed the water discharge hose into a washbasin or a bathtub, or connect it directly to a drain (discharge hose minimum diameter 4 cm). The vertical distance from the floor to the end of the discharge hose may be no more than 100 cm and no less than 60 cm. It can be attached in three ways (A, B, C).

A Discharge hose end may be placed over a washbasin or a bathtub. B Use a string fed through the opening in the elbow support to attach the hose and prevent it from slipping to the floor.

B Discharge hose may also be attached directly to the washbasin drain.

C Discharge hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to allow cleaning.

D The discharge hose has to be attached and affixed to the pin on the back of the washing machine, as shown in the figure.

If the discharge hose is not correctly attached, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured.

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER MAINS

Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.

Connect the washing machine 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 washing machine is indicated on the rating plate (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).

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

The washing machine may not be connected to the power mains using an extension cord.

Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or 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.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Make sure the washing machine is disconnected from the power mains; then, open the door towards you (figures 1 and 2).

Before first use, clean the washing machine drum with a soft moist cotton cloth and water, or use the Cotton 90°C programme. There should be no laundry in the washing machine drum; the drum should be empty (figures 3 and 4).

Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents that could damage the washing machine (please observe the recommendations and warnings provided by the cleaning agent manufacturers).

Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation. The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS* (*stability control system) will be activated.

Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer programme duration. In extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the programme can be completed without the spinning cycle.

The UKS* (*stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer washing machine useful life.

If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorized service technician. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall not be covered by the warranty. In this case, the user will cover the cost of repair.

SERVICING

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE

Wash new coloured garments separately the first time.

Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more powder detergent or with a pre-wash cycle.

Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash. We recommend referring to STAIN REMOVAL TIPS.

With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a programme without a pre-wash cycle, use of shorter programmes (e.g. TIMECARE) and a lower washing temperature.

If you often wash laundry at low temperatures and with liquid detergents, bacteria may spawn which can cause odour in the washing machine. To prevent such odour, we recommend occasionally running the Steril tub (Self-cleaning programme) (see PROGRAMME TABLE).

We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of energy and poorer washing machine performance.

Loosen any folded laundry before putting it into the drum. Only use detergents for machine washing.

In case of excessive foaming in the washing machine or leak of foam through the detergent dispenser tray, the washed laundry must be rinsed thoroughly with a large amount of water. Choose a washing program, but do not add any detergent.

Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering the washing temperature, washing program, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.

If water hardness exceeds 14° dH, water softener should be used. Heater damage resulting from incorrect use of water softeners shall not be covered by the warranty. Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.

Use of chlorine-based bleaches is not recommended as they can damage the heater.

Do not add hardened lumps of powder detergent into the detergent dispenser as this may clog the piping in the washing machine.

When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent clogging the dispenser tray drain.

Liquid detergents are intended for washing programmes without a prewash cycle.

At higher spinning rates, there will be less residual moisture in the laundry. As a result, drying in a tumble dryer will be more economical and faster.

Water hardness	Hardness levels
	°dH (°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m.
1 - soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150
2 - normal 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250
3 - hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250

Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.

1 A separator/divider tab is supplied with the washing machine, which allows adding liquid detergent to the main wash compartment (left compartment).

2 When using powder detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lifted.

3 When using liquid detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lowered.

Symbols of detergent dispenser compartments
💡	prewash
💡	main wash
💡	softening

We recommend adding powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. If you add it sooner, make sure the detergent compartment in the dispenser tray is completely dry before adding the powder detergent: otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process. Pour the conditioner into the dispenser tray, into the compartment with the symbol ☀Observe the recommendation on the conditioner packaging. Do not fill the conditioner compartment over the max. indication (maximum indicated level). Otherwise, the conditioner will be added to the laundry too soon, leading to poorer washing effect.

STAIN REMOVAL TIPS

Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the environment on less stubborn stains.

However, prompt action is required! Soak the stain with an absorbent sponge or a paper towel; then, rinse with cold (lukewarm) water – but never with hot water!

Stains Stain removal
Mud When the stain is dry, first scrape it off the garment before washing it in the washing machine. If the stain is stubborn, soak it with an enzyme-based stain remover before the wash. If the stain is not stubborn, wash the laundry with liquid detergent or powder detergent and water before the wash.
Antiperspirant Before washing in the washing machine, apply liquid detergent onto the laundry. Apply stain removers on any stubborn stains. Alternatively, use oxygen-based bleach for the wash.
Tea Soak or rinse the laundry in cold water and add stain remover if necessary.
Chocolate Soak or rinse the laundry with lukewarm soapy water. Then, apply lemon juice and rinse.
Ink Before washing in the washing machine, apply stain removers on the stain. You may also use denatured alcohol. Turn the garment inside out and place a paper towel under the stain. Use the alcohol on the back side of the stain. At the end of the pro-cess, thoroughly rinse the garment.
Felt tip pens Dilute some starch in water and apply it to the stain. When it dries, scrape it off with a brush; then, wash the garment in the washing machine.
Baby food (urine, mud, food stains)	Before washing in the washing machine, soak the stains in lukewarm water for at least half an hour. For easier stain re-moval, add an enzyme-based stain remover.
Grass Before washing in the washing machine, soak the laundry in an enzyme-based stain remover.Grass stains can also be re-moved by soaking (for approx. 1 hour) in diluted lemon juice or distilled vinegar.
Eggs Soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes or a few hours if the stains are stubborn. Then, wash in the washing machine.
Coffee Soak the garment in salt water. If the stain is not fresh, soak it with a mixture of glycerine, ammonia and alcohol.
Shoe polish Apply cooking oil to the stain and rinse.
Blood Fresh stain – rinse the garment with cool water and wash it in the washing machine.Dried stain – soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Then, wash in the washing machine. If the stain does not vanish, try to remove it with a bleach suitable for your garment.
Glue, chewing gum Place the garment in a bag and put it in the freezer until the stain hardens. Then, remove it with a blunt knife. Then, dilute the stain with a prewash stain remover and rinse thoroughly. Then, wash the laundry as usual.
Makeup Use a stain remover for the prewash; then, wash in the washing machine.
Butter Before washing in the washing machine, apply stain remover to the stain. Then, rinse with hot water (as hot as the fabric will al-low).
Milk Soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover. Soak for at least 30 minutes or a few hours if the stains are stubborn. Then, wash in the washing machine.
Fruit juice Apply a mixture of salt and water on the stain. Leave to take effect for a while, then rinse. You can apply sodium bicarbonate, distilled vinegar or lemon juice on the stain before washing in the washing machine. For old stains, use glycerine. After 20 minutes, rinse with cold water, then wash the laundry in the washing machine.
Wine Soak the laundry in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Also, use a stain remover. Then, wash in the washing machine.
Wax Put the garment into the freezer until the wax hardens. Then, scrape it off. Remove the remaining wax by placing a paper towel onto the stain, and then heat it with an iron until the paper absorbs the wax.
Sweat Before washing in the washing machine, rub liquid detergent thoroughly into the stain.
Chewing gum Put the garment into the freezer until the chewing gum hardens. Then, scrape it off. Then, wash in the washing machine.

* Test programme pursuant to EN 60456 with maximum spinning rate ** Half load

Cotton 40°C ECO/POWERCARE □ and 60°C ECO/POWERCARE □ are standard programmes to which the data on the energy label pertains. These programmes are suitable for normally soiled laundry, and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of water and power consumption. Therefore, actual water temperature may differ from the nominal cycle temperature.

LOW STANDBY MODE

P o = weighted power when off [W] < 0,5
P I = weighted power when in standby [W] < 0,5
T I = standby time [min] 5,00

Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.

Due to deviations in terms of type and amount of laundry, spinning, power supply oscillation, and environment temperature and humidity, the programme duration and power consumption values measured at the end user may differ from the ones stated in the table.

LOW STANDBY MODE

If you do not run any program or choose any settings after switching on the washing machine (ON/OFF/RESET button (1)), the display unit will be switched off after 5 minutes and switched to standby mode in order to save energy.

The display unit will be reactivated if you rotate the programme selector knob (2) or press the ON/OFF/RESET button (1). If you do not do anything for 5 minutes after the end of a programme, the display unit will be switched off to save power (see chapter »TYPICAL CONSUMPTION TABLE«).

We reserve the right to any changes and errors in the instructions for use.
