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.
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 rods 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.
SELECTING THE ROOM 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 adjustable feet. The washing machine must stand level and stable on a solid base. ADJUSTING THE WASHING MACHINE FEET Use a water scale and spanner No.
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).

Washing machine installation clearances 25 mm The washing machine may 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. In case of failure to observe the minimum required clearances, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured.
CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY Attach the hose to the water tap by screwing it onto the thread. AQUA STOP TOTAL AQUA STOP REGULAR CONNECTION 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.
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.
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.
Page 22
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.
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.

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.
Page 56
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.
Page 58
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.
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 When the stain is dry, first scrape it off the garment before washing...
Page 60
Stains Stain removal 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.
