Gorenje washing machine modes and programs

Slovenian Gorenje washing machines have long established themselves in the domestic market. Thanks to excellent build quality, thoughtful functionality, and stylish design, this brand's appliances successfully compete with leaders from Bosch, Miele, and Siemens. One of the undeniable advantages of this Slovenian is its comprehensive range of washing modes and options. Understanding the control panel can greatly simplify your life. We recommend that you don't delay and explore Gorenje's features in detail.

A set of basic algorithms

Gorenje washing machines, like all modern appliances, offer a combination of programs. On the one hand, the system supports popular basic modes, on the other, it delights the user with new features and capabilities. It's best to explore the entire range to get the most out of your machine's functionality. Typically, every Gorenje washing machine has the following modes.

• Cotton. Activated when washing items made of dense cotton, linen, and cotton fabrics. Ideal for washing bed linens, towels, T-shirts, shirts, and tablecloths. Thanks to the high temperature of up to 90 degrees, a long cycle of 1.5 hours, and intensive spin, even stubborn stains are removed.
• Eco Cotton. Offers an improved version of standard cotton. It emphasizes hypoallergenic properties: the temperature is increased to 95 degrees Celsius and the amount of water absorbed is increased.
• Mix. A program for colored blended fabrics containing both natural and synthetic fibers.

Gorenje washing machines allow you to create a unique user mode and save it in the system’s “memory”.

• Wool. A special cycle for wool and knitwear, featuring a temperature of up to 40 degrees Celsius, gentle drum rotation, and minimal spin.
• Hand wash. Designed for items that can't be machine washed, such as underwear, sweaters, and sequined dresses. Short cycle, minimal spin.
• Delicate. Suitable for delicate and fine fabrics such as silk, viscose, microfiber, satin, and lace. Gentle cleaning is achieved through gentle drum rotation, a generous rinse, and cold water.
• Intensive Soak. Water and detergent are sprayed under pressure onto the laundry loaded in the drum, from both above and below. This cleans the fabric faster and saves energy.
• Children's clothing. The program's advantages: high heat and deep rinsing. The former disinfects the fabric, while the latter completely rinses out detergent from the fibers.
• Sports. A cycle specifically designed for washing sportswear and shoes.
• Quick 17: A fast cycle that offers a wash, rinse and spin cycle in just 17 minutes.
• Fast. Suitable for lightly soiled laundry and lasts 20-40 minutes.
• Quiet (Night). This Gorenje mode features silent operation, even during the spin cycle, allowing you to run the washing machine overnight. The wash time is extended, the motor runs quietly, and the cycle sound is disabled.
• Anti-dust mite. A cleaning program for down-filled items, including pillows, duvets, and down jackets. The special drum rotation prevents the filling from clumping, and the preset temperature effectively removes dirt, dust, and bacteria. A deep rinse is included.
• Super Black. This cycle is designed for washing black and dark-colored items. Thanks to the low temperature and slower drum rotation, colors are preserved, especially when using special detergents.
• Ultra White. A low-temperature, no-spin program designed for gentle washing of white and light-colored fabrics. It is recommended to add special bleaching agents to the dispenser when using this program.
• Bio. Offers natural, comprehensive cleaning – high water temperature, intensive spin, and deep rinse. Bio Wash Ball soap is recommended for washing.
• My Program. The user can set their preferred cycle settings, temperature, spin, and fabric type, and then save them to memory and run them whenever needed.

Some Gorenje washing machines may have special modes. A complete list of all programs is provided in the manufacturer's manual, along with a detailed explanation of the buttons and control panel positions.

Additional modes

In addition to the basic washing modes, there are additional modes. These are included in every Gorenje machine and are considered a "starter" set. These include the following:

• softening – accelerated rinsing, during which you can soften items by adding conditioner or rinse aid;
• spin – allows you to spin out items without the main wash;
• spin and rinse – if you need to freshen up your items;
• drain – emptying the tank without spinning.

It's important to understand that draining, spinning, and rinsing are included in most standard modes. However, if needed, they can be enabled separately or as an additional feature. It is enough to press a certain button or turn the programmer to the desired position.

Gorenje functional set

Gorenje also has a number of unique features. They significantly simplify the cleaning process and improve the washing results. You just need to understand what works and when.

• Self-cleaning. By activating this feature, adding detergent, and selecting "Cotton," you can quickly and thoroughly clean your machine.
• Safety lock. When activated, the dashboard is locked, preventing accidental operation or child tampering.
• Pre-wash. Runs before the main cycle if the laundry is very dirty.
• Water Plus. Increases water volume during washing and rinsing.
• Reload control. The laundry loaded into the drum is automatically weighed, and the system uses this data to calculate the required water volume, wash time, and detergent amount.

Modern Gorenje washing machines boast impressive functionality. A wealth of modes and options help improve and simplify your laundry routine—all you need to do is get familiar with them.
