    SELECTING THE ROOM 4" (10 cm) 2" (5 cm) 4" (10 cm) 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.
  • Page 21 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).
  • Page 22 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.

  • Page 23: Adjusting The Dryer Feet

    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. Floor on which the dryer is placed must have a concrete base. It should be clean and dry; otherwise, the dryer may slide.

  • Page 24: Draining The Condensate

    DRAINING THE CONDENSATE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank. During the drying process, an indicator light (symbol (9) is lit on the display unit) warns when the condensate tank is full and needs to be emptied. To avoid emptying the condensate tank, run the condensate discharge hose located at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

  • Page 25: Connecting To The Power Mains

    CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS 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.

  • Page 26: Moving And Transport After Installation

    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.

  • Page 27: Before Using The Appliance For The First Time

    BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME Make sure the dryer is disconnected from the power mains; then, open the door by pulling the left side of the door towards you (figures 1 and 2).
