Frequently Asked Questions - IS 60 V INDESIT

Why won't my dryer start?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the socket is working. Make sure the timer dial is set to a drying time and the door is fully closed before pressing the START button. Otherwise, the start may be blocked.

What if drying takes too long?

Clean the lint filter, check that the selected temperature is suitable for the fabric and that the chosen program matches the load. Ensure the ventilation hose is not blocked or kinked, and that the items were not too wet.

How to clean the lint filter?

Pull the plastic handle of the filter upwards to remove it. Rinse it under running water or vacuum it. Replace it, ensuring it is fully inserted into the housing.

Can I dry all types of clothes?

No. Check the symbols on labels: some textiles such as rubber, plastic, fiberglass, or dry-clean-only items are not suitable. Acrylics require low temperature. Never dry items that are flammable or contain flammable substances.

How to install the ventilation hose?

Securely attach the hose to the back of the dryer. Ideally, connect it to a permanent outlet (wall or window). The hose must not exceed 2.4 m, be as short and straight as possible, and must not be crushed or bent in a U-shape.

What is the maximum load capacity?

For natural fibers (cotton), the maximum capacity is 6 kg. For synthetics, it is 3 kg. Do not overload the machine, as this reduces drying performance.

What if the machine stops during the cycle?

Check if the program is finished (cooling phase). If the door was opened, close it and press the START button again. Otherwise, a power cut or blown fuse may be the cause.

How to set the temperature?

Use the TEMPERATURE button: pressed for high temperature (normal), released for low temperature (gentle). Adapt the temperature to the fabric type.

Should I use fabric softener in the dryer?

No. Do not use fabric softener in the dryer. Add it to the final rinse of your washing machine.

! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the dryer works.

! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Where to put your dryer

• Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.
• If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15mm space between the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed.
• Make sure you put your dryer in an environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.

When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction with Mobile Venting. The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always best to connect the tube to a permanent outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing through a partly-opened window.

! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres in length and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff, lint and water by shaking it out frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not squashed.

Permanent venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of the dryers proposed position.
2. Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture from backing up into the dryer.
3. Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.

Window mounting

Technical line drawing of a pipe fitting with a labeled component 'B' (no text or symbols beyond label)

1. With a stacked dryer the hole in the window should ideally be made below the vent.
2. The tube should be kept as short as possible.

Depending on how often you use your dryer, it is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or debris.

The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from being emitted back into the room.

! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is squashed or bent.
! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or 'U' bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube or trap condensation.

Open window venting

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly or housing component (no text or symbols)

The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm moist air from condensing in the room or in the dryer.

! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards the air intake duct.
! The vent tube must always be fitted for optimum performance.
! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are not obstructed or blocked.
! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.
! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.
! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.

Electrical connections

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the the electrical socket:

• The socket must be grounded.
• The socket must be able to sustain the machines maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
• Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
• The socket must be compatible with the dryers plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if it is exposed to rain or storms.

! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorised dealers..
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician.

Levelling your dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation.

When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is level first side to side, then front to back.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical assembly with a bolt and a gear-like component, no text or symbols present.

If the dryer is not level, use a wooden block to support it while adjusting the two front legs up or down, until your dryer is level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you have installed your dryer and before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transport.

10. Open the door, take the laundry out, clean the filter and replace it (see Maintenance).
11. Unplug the dryer.

Sorting your laundry

• Check symbols on clothing labels to make sure that the articles can be tumble dried.
• Sort laundry by fabric type.
  • Empty pockets and check buttons.
• Close zippers and hooks and tie loose belts and strings.
• Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much excess water as possible.

! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.

Maximum load size

Do not load more than maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to dry weight:

Natural fibres: 6kg max (13lb)

Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in reduced drying performance.

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

Items not suitable for tumble drying

• Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable articles or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).
  • Glass fibres (certain types of draperies)
• Items which have been dry cleaned
• Items with the ITCL Code ☒ (see Special clothing items). These can be cleaned with special at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.

Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer's drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.

Drying times

The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:

CottonsHigh (full) Heat
Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine
		Half Load			Full Load
1kg	2kg	3kg	4kg	5kg	6kg
20-30	35-45	45-60	60-70	70-80	80-100
SyntheticsHigh (full) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
		Half Load			Full Load
1kg		2kg			3kg
20-30		35-45			45-60
AcrylicsLow (gentle) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
Half Load					Full Load
1kg					2kg
25-40					40-60

Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:

• Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time.
• Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.
• Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.
• Heat setting.
• Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.
• Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished.

! Do not over-dry your clothes.

All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy.

! The appliance has been designed and built according to international safety standards.

These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

Recycling and disposal information

As part of our continued commitment to helping the environment, we reserve the right to use quality recycled components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage.

• Disposing of the packaging material: follow local regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
• To minimise risk of injury to children, remove the door and plug - then cut off mains cable, flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

• Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.
• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Switching off the electricity

Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. Small items could also become trapped in the filter. When finished drying, therefore, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.

Removing the filter: 1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.

Cleaning

• External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Periodically check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.
• Remove lint that collects around the filter and the outlet vents.
  ! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
  ! Your dryer uses special bearing components which do not need lubrication.
  ! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorised technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety (see Service).
