IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Warning – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that

could ignite or explode.

3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used

near children.

4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove

the door to the drying compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to

water and/or to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any

servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance

instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you

understand and have skills to carry out.

9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless

recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly

textured rubber-like materials.

11. Clean lint screen before or after each load.

12. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding

areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust and dirt.

13. The interior of the appliance and the exhaust duct should be cleaned

periodically by qualified service personnel.

14. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items

contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical

reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

English

15. If material has been used with any flammable liquids or solids it

should not be used in the dryer until all traces of the flammable

liquids and its fumes have been removed.

16. This dryer must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions

in the installation section.

17. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of electric

shock and fire. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel

if you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded.

18. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose, drying clothes.

19. Always disconnect dryer from electrical supply before attempting any

service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.

20. Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

21. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension

cords or adapters to connect dryer to electrical power source.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Future Use

English

As dry cleaning solvents, gasoline, vegetable and cooking oils are highly

hazardous materials, items soaked in or spotted with such should not

be used in the dryer. Items may still contain a substantial amount of the

hazardous material after being washed. When such items are exposed

to heat they could ignite. As clothes are stacked and piled up in the dryer

the heat cannot escape. Due to this, items become hot enough to possibly

ignite. Washing in hot water with extra detergent would reduce but not

eliminate the risk of fire.

WARNING

Thank you for using our Haier

will guide you in getting the best

use of your dryer.

Remember to record the model

and serial number. They are on a

DANGER

take off the door so that children may

not easily get trapped inside.

• Cotton Cycle: This can be either HIGH or LOW heat dry cycle depending on

what type of clothes you want to dry for up to 120 minutes.

• Synthetic Cycle: This cycle is used for synthetic fabrics where you can use

dry time up to 60 minutes at low heat setting.

(Please refer to Cotton/Synthetic Dry Button setting explanation, p.5)

• Delicate Cycle: This cycle is used for delicate fabrics where you can use dry

time up to 80 minutes. The low heat setting is preset in this cycle.

Understanding the Drying Temperature:

• In your dryer if the temperature goes over 117 Degree F/47 Degree C the

sensor will shut off the heat and the drum will stop spinning. At 99 Degree

F/37 Degree C temperature the heat will come on and drum will resume

spinning.

• Each cycle ends with a cool down period. The heat automatically turns off

and load continues to tumble for 5-10 minutes. This will reduce

wrinkling of your clothes.
