Gorenje washing machine self-cleaning program

The software “stuffing” of automatic burning machines is amazing. There are many modes and functions stored in the memory, with which you can take care not only of things, but also of the equipment itself. The Gorenje washing machine self-cleaning program helps keep the “insides” of the machine in perfect condition. Let’s figure out how to use this add-on, what other modes and options are stored in the washing machine’s memory.

"Self-cleaning" mode

It's no secret that your washing machine requires constant care. Housewives should not forget to ventilate the unit after each use and wipe off dust and moisture from the body. To help users, the manufacturer “invented” a special mode. The self-cleaning program runs once a month, with the drum empty, but using detergents.

The machine manufacturer Gorenje recommends running the “self-cleaning” mode once a month.

To enable self-cleaning mode, you must:

• remove everything unnecessary from the drum - there should be no things left in it;
• pour powder into the detergent dispenser (in the main wash compartment);
• turn the programmer to the “Cotton 95°C” position;
• press the “Self-cleaning” button and hold it for 5 seconds;
• start the cycle by pressing the “Start” key.

After this, the “home assistant” will begin self-cleaning. The program lasts a little over an hour and a half. When the cycle is completed, you need to pull out the detergent cuvette all the way and open the machine hatch for ventilation. The machine must dry out from the inside.

Regular modes

The functional “filling” of Gorenje washing machines varies depending on the model. Standard programs are available on all machines. A brief description of the options and washing modes is presented in the instructions for the equipment.

It is important to choose the right washing mode, focusing on the type of fabric and the degree of soiling of the laundry. In order not to spoil the item, you should figure out for which products this or that program is suitable.

1. Cotton. The name speaks for itself; the mode is designed for cleaning cotton clothes, linen items, bed linen and towels. The washing temperature can be adjusted from 20°C to 95°C. When selecting a program, the drum can be fully loaded.
2. Mix/Synthetics. The program is suitable for items made from synthetic and mixed fabrics. Ideal for people of color. The washing degree is adjustable to 60, the drum load should be half. For example, you are allowed to put a maximum of 3 kg of clothes in a machine that holds 6 kg of laundry.
3. Handwash. The delicate program is designed for cleaning delicate, demanding fabrics. In this mode you can wash linen and wool items, silk, viscose, and curtains. Due to the smooth rotation of the drum, things are not deformed. The cycle temperature is adjustable from 20°C to 40°C. You can load 2-3 kg of laundry into a full-size machine, and a maximum of 1.5 kg into a narrow machine.
4. Wool. Another gentle mode for woolen items and products made from a mixture of wool and other fibers. Suitable for washing sweaters, snoods and hats. The water is heated to a maximum of 40°C, the spin is minimal. In full-size washing machines, when choosing a program, you can load up to 2 kg of laundry, in narrow ones - 1 kg.

In addition to standard programs, the Gorenje washing machine has additional modes for special occasions. For example, when you need to refresh things as quickly as possible or treat fabric from allergens.

Special programs

Depending on the situation, standard cleaning modes may not be suitable.Therefore, Gorenje washing machines have additional washing programs for special occasions. Let's look at their purpose.

• Quick wash 17. By starting the program, you can refresh your laundry in just 17 minutes. Suitable for lightly soiled items, it helps housewives save not only time, but also energy. The water warms up to 30°C, the drum should be loaded incompletely. For full-size washing machines – 2 kg, for narrow washing machines – 1.5 kg.
• Super black. Washing in this mode allows you to maintain the brightness of black items. The program is characterized by a slow spin and smooth rotation of the drum. Water temperature – 30°C. You can load no more than 2-2.5 kg of clothes into the machine.
• Quiet wash. You can run the program even at night. Suitable for cleaning mixed fabrics of different colors. The water warms up to 40°C. Maximum load: for full-size machines – 3.5 kg, for narrow ones – up to 3 kg.
• Against dust mites. The mode is ideal for washing pillows, blankets and other bedding and bulky items. Helps remove dead skin from fabric fibers. The water temperature is adjustable from 60°C to 95°C. Loading no more than 3.5 kg in standard machines, up to 3 kg in narrow units.
• Baby clothes. Suitable for caring for the things of babies and people with allergies. A special feature of the program is several rinsing cycles. Water heating can be adjusted from 40 to 95°C. Full loading allowed as permitted by manufacturer.
• Sport. Designed for washing sports uniforms made from different fabrics: cotton, synthetics, microfibers. The spin is performed at minimum speed, the water is heated to 30°C. Maximum permissible drum loading: for machines of standard dimensions – 2.5 kg, for narrow equipment – ​​2 kg.
• Anti-allergy. The program was designed specifically for washing clothes that require special care.Due to high temperature treatment (up to 95°C), all germs are removed from the fabric, and several rinsing cycles help wash the powder out of the fibers. The permissible drum load coincides with the maximum.

Almost all Gorenje washing machine modes can be adjusted by changing the water heating temperature, spin intensity and the number of rinse cycles.

Understanding the features of each program, you can ensure high-quality washing of clothes. You can see how long a particular mode lasts on the machine’s display (by selecting the desired function) or in the instructions for the equipment.

Auxiliary modes

In addition to the programs described, Gorenye washing machines have auxiliary, independent options in their memory. You can run such modes when there is no need for a full cycle, or in a situation where you need an addition to the main wash.

• Intensive soaking. When choosing this option, “soapy” water flows to the laundry from below and above. Due to this, the fabric is saturated faster.
• Prewash. Necessary when clothes have difficult stains.
• Water is a plus. Allows you to add multiple rinse cycles.
• Mitigation. By launching the function, you can not only soften, but also starch things and saturate them. The mode ends with a spin; you can connect the “Water Plus” option.

Some Gorenje models have the ability to create custom programs.

You can record your own washing settings in the intelligence. User modes can be adjusted as necessary.

Special SensoCare algorithm

Models released after 2017 are equipped with SensoCare technology. This add-on allows you to optimize the basic programs: “Cotton”, “Wool”, etc. We are talking about the functions:

• NormalCare.The mode selects the optimal combination of four washing parameters: temperature and volume of water, time and spin speed. This ensures better cleaning of all types of fabric.
• EcoCare. Here the main emphasis is on economical consumption of electricity. By starting the mode, you can ensure that the machine “eats” 60% less kilowatts.
• TimeCare. Suitable if things need to be washed quickly. By running the option, you can reduce the cycle time by 40%. Intensive washing is effective only for lightly soiled items. With this program, there is an increased water consumption.
• AllergyCare. Due to several rinsing cycles and increased water consumption, complete removal of detergent residues from fabric fibers is achieved. By launching the option, you can forget about allergies to the powder.

The software “filling” of Gorenje machines helps housewives not only to wash their clothes efficiently, but also to minimize the hassle of caring for the washing machine itself. By launching “Self-Cleaning” in a timely manner, you can forget about the unpleasant smell from the machine and the accumulation of dirt on the internal parts.
