Thank you for using our Haier
product. This easy-to-use manual
will guide you in getting the best
use of your dryer.
Remember to record the model and
serial number. They are on a label
in back of the dryer.
Model number
Serial number
Date of purchase
Staple your receipt to your manual.
You will need it to obtain warranty service.
15. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items
contaminated with cooking oil may contribute to a chemical reaction
than could cause a load to catch fire.
16. If material has been used with any flammable liquids or solids, it
should not used in the dryer until all traces of flammable liquids and
its fumes have been removed.
17. This dryer must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in
the installations sections.
18. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of electric shock
and force. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if
you are in doubt as to whether the dryer is properly grounded.
19. Use the dryer only for its intended purpose: drying clothes.
20. Always disconnect dryer from electrical supply before attempting any
service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
21. Replace worn power cord and/or loose plugs.
22. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords
or adapters to connect dryer electrical power source.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old dryer,
take off the door so that children may not get trapped inside.

WARNING
Risk of Fire:
Tools and materials required
• Phillips-Head and flathead screwdrivers
• Channel-lock adjustable pilers
• 1/2-inch open-end wrench
• Carpenter’s level
• Measuring tape (12ft. min.)
• Duct tape
• Pipe thread sealer (Gas)
• Rigid or flexible metal 4 inch (102cm) duct
• Vent hood
Safety Warning:
1. Before starting installation, make sure that the gas shut off valve is in the
off position.
2. All old gas connectors and gas piping should be discarded.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electric Dryer: (CHDE/HDE5000AW and CHDE/HDE5300AW)
Circuit
Individual 30 Amp branch circuit fused with 30 Amp time-delay fuses or circuit
breakers. Use seperately fused circuits for washers and dryers, and DO NOT
operate a washer and dryer on the same circuit.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
English
1.Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
2.Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions
and local codes.
3.Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials.
If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed,it must be of a specific
type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use
with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse,
be easily crushed,and trap lint.These conditions will obstruct clothes
dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.
4.To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation
instructions.

Power Supply
3 or 4 wire, 120/240 Volt, 1 Phase, 60Hz, AC
(Canada - 120/240 Volt, 1 Phase, 60 Hz, AC)
Power Supply Cord Kit
(Not supplied when sold in US. Must be purchased to meet local electrical
codes.) The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30
Type SRDT rated at 240 Volt AC minimum, 30 Amp, with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use
with clothes dryers.
(When sold in Canada - 4-wire power supply cord provided and
attached on dryer)
Dryers being installed in a manufactured (mobile) home MUST employ a
4-wire power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST (as required) rated
to 240 Volt AC minimum, 30 Amp, with 4 open-end spade lug connectors
with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use with clothes
dryers. See Electrical Connections for more information on a 4-wire system.
Outlet Receptacle
NEMA 10-30R receptacle should be located so the power supply cord is
accessible when the dryer is in the installed position. (Canada - NEMA 14-30R
receptacle)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Gas Dryer: (CHDG/HDG5000AW and CHDG/HDG5300AW)
Circuit
Individual 15 Amp branch circuit fused with 15-Amp maximum time delay fuse
or circuit breakers.
Power Supply
3 wire, 120 Volt, 1 Phase, 60Hz, AC
Power Supply Cord
The dryer is equipped with a 120 Volt 3-wire power supply cord.
NOTE: This dryer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not under any circumstance cut or
remove grounding prong from plug.
Unpacking Your Dryer
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the dryer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packaging, tape or printed materials
before using the dryer.

The following are specific requirements for
proper and safe operation of your dryer. Failure
to follow these instructions can create excessive
drying times and fire hazards.
1. Do not use plastic flexible duct to exhaust the dryer. Excessive lint can build up
inside exhaust system and create a fire hazard and restrict air flow. Restricted
air flow will increase drying time. If your present system is made up of plastic
duct or metal foil duct, replace it with a rigid or flexible metal duct. Ensure
present duct is free of any lint prior to installing dryer duct.
2. The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a
crawl space, or a concealed space of a building; The dryer exhaust system
MUST be exhausted to the outdoors. If the dryer is not exhausted
outdoors, some fine lint will be expelled into the laundry area. An accumulation
of lint in any area of the home can create a health and fire hazard.
3. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the
“Maximum Length” chart can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
4. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system. Lint can become caught in
the screen, increasing drying time. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the
duct outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape.
5. All male duct pipe fittings must be installed downstream with the flow of air.
6. The duct shall not be assembled with screws or other fastening means that extend
into the duct and catch lint.
7. Do not allow combustible material (clothing, draperies/curtains, paper, etc.) to
come in contact with exhaust system.
Explosion hazard:
Do not install the dryer where gasoline or other flammables are kept or
stored. If the dryer is installed in a garage, it must be a minimum of 18
inches (45.7cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.
Exhaust Requirements:
Use only rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a
swing-out damper hat open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer
stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of
insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet,
WARNING
EXHAUST SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

maintain a minimum of

clearance between the vent hood and the ground or
any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to move freely, although
vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable. Certain extenuating
circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only rigid or flexible metal duct work should be used.
2. Venting vertically through a roof may expose the exhaust system to down
drafts causing an increase in vent restriction.
3. Running the exhaust system through an uninsulatedarea may cause
condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression of crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in
vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 12
months with normal usage. The more the dryer is used the more often you
should check the exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
Side and Bottom Exhaust
For your convenience, your dryer can be exhausted through the side or the
bottom. If you need to change the exhaust on the dryer to the side or the
bottom of the cabinet, you will need to order the exhaust kit from your Haier
dealer or call 1- 800-313-8495
