Carefully read the instructions for use before using the

washing machine.

Please, do not use the washing machine without reading

and understanding these instructions or use first.

These instructions for use of a washing machine are

supplied with different types or models of washing

machines. Therefore, they may include descriptions

of settings or equipment that are not available in your

washing machine.

Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate

use of the washing machine may result in damage to the

laundry or the appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the

instruction manual handy, near the washing machine.

Instructions for use are available on our website at

www.gorenje.com.

Your washing machine is intended solely for household

use. If the washing machine is used for professional,

for-profit purpose or purpose exceeding normal use in a

household, or if the washing machine is used by a person

who is not a consumer, the warranty period shall be equal to

the shortest warranty period required by relevant legislation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

679870en.indd 4679870en.indd 4 12. 04. 2023 13:52:1012. 04. 2023 13:52:10

679870

Follow the instructions for correct installation of the Gorenje

washing machine and connection to the water and power

mains (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION«).

Connection to water and power supply has to be executed

by an adequately trained technician or expert.

Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or

performance should be done by trained experts.

To avoid danger, a damaged power cord may only be

replaced by the manufacturer, a service technician, or an

authorized person.

Before connecting the washing machine to the power

mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room

temperature.

In case of a defect, only use approved spare parts by

authorized manufacturers.

In case of incorrect washing machine connection, incorrect

use, or servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall

bear the cost of any damage as such damage shall not be

covered by warranty.

The washing machine may not be connected to the power

mains using an extension cord.

Do not connect the washing machine to power mains using

an external switching device such as a programme timer, or

connect it to power mains that is regularly switched on and

off by the power supply provider.

679870en.indd 5679870en.indd 5 12. 04. 2023 13:52:1012. 04. 2023 13:52:10

679870

Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet

intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.

Do not install the washing machine in a room where the

temperature can drop to below 5°C, as washing machine

parts may be damaged in case of water freezing.

Place the washing machine on a level and stable solid

(concrete) base.

If the washing machine is placed on an elevated stable base,

the washing machine has to be additionally secured against

tipping.

Before the first use of the washing machine, remove the

blocking rods, as switching on a blocked washing machine

can result in serious damage (see chapter »INSTALLATION

AND CONNECTION/Removing the blocking rods«). Warranty

shall be void in cases of such damage.

To connect the washing machine to water supply, make

sure to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets.

Water pressure has to be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa (0.5 – 8

bar).

Always use a new water supply hose to connect the washing

machine to water supply; do not reuse an old water supply

hose.

The end of the water discharge hose should reach into a

water drain line.

Before the start of the washing cycle, press the door on the

679870en.indd 6679870en.indd 6 12. 04. 2023 13:52:1012. 04. 2023 13:52:10

679870

indicated spot until it locks into place. The door cannot be

opened during washing machine operation.

We recommend removing any impurities from the

washing machine drum before the first wash using the

Cotton 90°C programme (see PROGRAMME TABLE).

After the washing cycle, close the water tap and pull out

the washing machine plug from the power socket.

Clean the pump filter whenever the symbol appears on the

display unit.

Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as

described in the instruction manual. The machine is not

intended for dry cleaning.

Only use agents for machine washing and care of

laundry. We shall not be responsible for any damages or

discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from

incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.

When descaling, only use descaling agents with added

anti-corrosion protection. (Only use non-corrosive descaling

agents.) Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Finish the

descaling process with several rinse cycles or by running the

Steril tub (Self-cleaning programme) in order to remove any

residual acid (e.g. vinegar etc.).

Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could

lead to release of poisonous gases, damage to the washing

machine, and risk of fire and explosion.

679870en.indd 7679870en.indd 7 12. 04. 2023 13:52:1012. 04. 2023 13:52:10

679870

No silver ions are released during the washing programme.

The washing machine 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 washing

machine 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 appliance, and aesthetic defects on components, which

do not affect the functionality and safety of the appliance.

CHILD SAFETY

Before closing the washing machine door and running the

programme, make sure there is nothing except laundry in the

drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the washing machine drum

and closed the door from the inside).

Keep the detergent and conditioner out of reach of children.

Activate the child lock. See chapter »CHOOSING THE

SETTINGS/Child lock«.

Do not let children younger than three years come

near the appliance, unless they are under constant

supervision.

The washing machine is made in compliance with all

relevant safety standards.

This washing machine may be used by children aged 8

years and above and by persons with reduced physical,

679870en.indd 8679870en.indd 8 12. 04. 2023 13:52:1212. 04. 2023 13:52:12

679870

sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge, but only if they are supervised during the use of

the washing machine, if they have been provided relevant

instructions regarding safe use of the washing machine, and

if they understand the hazards of inappropriate use. Make

sure children do not play with the appliance. Children may

not clean the washing machine or perform any maintenance

tasks without supervision.

DANGER OF HOT SURFACE

At higher washing temperatures, the door glass will heat up.

Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play

near the door glass.

WATER OVERFLOW PROTECTION (WITH WASHING

MACHINE SWITCHED ON)

If the water level in the appliance rises above normal level,

then the excess water level protection will be activated. It will

shut off the water supply and start pumping out the water.

The program is interrupted and an error is reported (see

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE).

TRANSPORT/TRANSPORT AFTER INSTALLATION

If you intend to move the washing machine after it has

been installed, then it should be blocked by inserting at

least one blocking rod (see chapter »INSTALLATION AND

CONNECTION/Moving and transport«). Before inserting the

blocking rods, disconnect the washing machine from the

power mains!
