Frequently Asked Questions - GOC 560B-S CANDY

How do I clean the lint filter on my Candy GOC 560B-S?

Open the door and pull out the lint filter located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush. Rinse under running water if necessary, then dry thoroughly before reinserting. Clean after every drying cycle for optimal performance.

What should I do if the dryer stops mid-cycle?

Check if the water tank is full (if using condensation mode) and empty it. Also inspect the lint filter for blockages. Ensure the dryer is not overloaded. If the problem persists, consult the error code display in the manual or contact Candy customer service.

Can I use fabric softener sheets in this dryer?

Yes, fabric softener sheets are safe to use. Place one sheet on top of the load before starting. Do not use liquid fabric softener as it can damage the dryer.

How do I enable the child lock feature?

Press and hold the 'Child Lock' button (usually marked with a padlock icon) for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns on. To disable, press and hold again for 3 seconds.

What is the maximum load capacity for cotton programs?

The maximum load for cotton programs is 8 kg (dry weight). For synthetics, reduce to about 4 kg to ensure effective drying.

How often should I clean the condenser unit?

Clean the condenser unit approximately every 5-10 cycles, or when the 'Clean Condenser' indicator lights up. Remove the lower front panel, take out the condenser, rinse with water, and let it dry before reassembling.

Why is my dryer taking too long to dry clothes?

Common causes include: overloading, clogged lint filter, dirty condenser, inappropriate program selection, or low room temperature. Check and clean the filter and condenser, and reduce load size if needed.

Can I install the dryer in a cupboard?

The dryer requires proper ventilation. If installing in a cupboard, ensure there is at least 10 cm clearance on all sides and adequate airflow. Refer to the installation guide for specific requirements.

How do I drain the water directly instead of using the tank?

You can connect a drain hose (not included) to the back of the dryer. Remove the water tank, locate the drain outlet, attach the hose, and route it to a floor drain or sink. Ensure the hose is not kinked.

Where can I find replacement parts for the Candy GOC 560B-S?

Genuine Candy spare parts are available from authorized dealers or online retailers. Check the Candy spare parts website or contact customer support for the exact part numbers. Common parts include the belt, drum support rollers, and lint filter.

Clothes Preparation

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they don't get tangled.

Do Not Tumble Dry:

Woollens, silk, delicate fabrics, nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, garments with PVC or leather trimmings, training shoes, bulky items such as sleeping bags, etc.

IMPORTANT: Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or other clothes (danger of fire or explosion).

During the last 15 minutes the load is always tumbled in cool air.

Energy Saving

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

ALWAYS

• Try to dry the maximum weight of laundry, this will save time and electricity.
• Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.

NEVER

• Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste time and electricity.
• Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.

Maximum Drying Weight

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME

The Candy Sensor Dry machine gives many options for drying the laundry to suit all circumstances.

The table on the next page lists the programmes and the function of each programme.

Note: The sensor may not detect a small load of small articles. For small loads and separate items or pre-dried fabrics with low moisture content, use the timed programmes.

Set the programme between 30 and 75 minutes depending on the load size and dryness required, and select high or low heat depending upon the fabric type.

If the sensor does not detect the item the dryer will only operate for 10 minutes before going into cooldown.

If the load is too large or too wet to tumble dry the dryer will automatically go into cooldown after approximately 3 hours.

SELECTING THE PROGRAMME

PROGRAMME	DESCRIPTION
Bone Dry	Select the degree of dryness that you require. This ranges from for bath towels and bathrobes, through for items that will be put away without ironing, to the programme that leaves the laundry suitable for ironing.
Extra Dry
Cupboard Dry
Iron Dry [HY24]
Wool Finish	A gentle programme specially created to get woollens softer after air-drying. This delicate warm air cycle, lasting 12 minutes, can also be used to get woollens 'refreshed' after being stored in the wardrobe.
Relax	The Relax programme provides a conditioning and anticrease function. The dryer will heat the load for 9 minutes followed by a 3 minute cool down period and is especially good for garments which may have been left for some time prior to ironing, in a linen basket for example. Garments may also become stiffened when dried outside on a washing line or inside on radiators. This programme relaxes the creases in the fabric making ironing quicker and easier.
40' Rapid	The 40' Rapid programme allows a drying cycle to be completed quickly. This is an ideal programme for having dry, refreshed and ready-to-wear clothes in less than 40'. This special programme constantly monitors the dryness and temperature in the drum thanks to the sensor using, using the exact time and energy you need! The machine finishes the cycle when the cupboard dry level is reached. The stated cycle length could vary according to fabric types, load size and residual moisture in the garments. The maximum load is 2kg and the programme is suitable for all types of fabric where tumble drying is appropriate.
150'	150' minutes of drying
120'	120' minutes of drying
90'	90' minutes of drying
75'	75' minutes of drying
