The SST-1M telescope was developed as a prototype of a Small-Size-Telescope
for the Cherenkov Telescope Array observatory and it has been extensively
tested in Krakow since 2017. In this contribution we present validation of the
Monte Carlo model of the prototype and expected performance in Krakow
conditions. We focus on gamma/hadron separation and mono reconstruction of
energy and gamma photon arrival direction using Machine learning methods.
