IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
Dryer use
■ The tumble dryer is intended only for drying textile material washed in water.
■ Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in the dryer.
Damage tothe dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
If you wish todry these items use a drying rack or place in a garment bag.
■ Check and remove all objects from pockets, eg lighters and matches.
■ Never dry rubber articles, or any plastic items or film, eg plastic lined tablecloths
and baby bibs.
■ Clothes should go through the cool down/airing phase in the final part of the cycle.
This ensures items are left at a temperature where theywill not be damaged. If for
any reason the dryer is stopped before the cycle has finished, dry clothes should be
removed immediately and not left in the dryer. Clothes should be quickly spread out
flat tocool so heat can dissipate,not left bunched up, eg in a clothes basket.
■ This dryer has been designed for domestic use only, not for commercial applications,
such as massage/beauty clinics where there maybe increased lint accumulation or

close to the dryer.
IMPORTANT!
We do not recommend the use of extension cords or portable electrical outlet
devices for safety reasons.
Lint
■ Accumulated lint in the dryer can become a fire hazard; it also reduces the efficiency
of the dryer by causing longer drying times and increased power consumption.
■ Clean the lint filter before every load.
■ Ensure the area around the dryer is clear of lint.
■ At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer cleaned of any accumulated lint.
This must be done by a Haier trained and supported service technician.
This must be done when the dryer installation is changed from free standing or
inverted, or vice versa.
■ The dryer exhaust ducting should be inspected and cleaned periodically to remove
accumulated lint.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Spontaneous combustion
IMPORTANT!
To reduce the risk of fire in a tumble dryer the following should be observed:
■ Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil are a fire
hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
■ Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as a tumble dryer. The items become warm causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. This oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping creating a fire hazard.
■ If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable oil, cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate
the fire hazard. The cool down cycle of the dryer should be used to reduce the
temperature of these items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer
and piled or stacked while hot.
■ Items that have previously been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with flammable liquids or solids, eg petrol/gasoline, kerosene, dry cleaning
solvents, vegetable or cooking oil, acetone, denatured alcohol, some brands of
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers or other flammable or
explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
■ Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
■ The dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
■ Fabric Softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener product.
■ Rubber backed articles, foam rubber (latex foam), clothes or pillows fitted with
foam rubber pads, fibreglass, shoes containing rubber, shower caps, baby’s
waterproof napkin covers and waterproof textiles should not be dried in the dryer.
These materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
■ The maximum mass of dry textiles depends on your model, The HDV60A1 model is
rated at 6kg. The HDV40A1 model is rated at 4kg. Do not overload your dryer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting
Correct installation is very important for all dryers to ensure maximum efficiency and
safety.
IMPORTANT!
Never run the dryer unless the airflow system is free from
obstruction.
There must be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room
from appliances burning fuels, including open fires, when operating the dryer.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
External venting
Your dryer has been designed to be vented outside to provide the following
advantages:
■ Ensures optimum efficiency by preventing recirculation of moist air.
■ Eliminates condensation on walls and ceilings.
■ Reduces the chance of lint being sucked into the dryer.
■ Prevents lint and other fine particles being blown into the room.
The external venting system should be:
■ Made from 100mm diameter flexible plastic pipe where the vent system goes through the
wall.
■ Exhausted outside and not into another confined space, eg the roof cavity of a house.
■ Angled to avoid condensation and rain water running back into the dryer.
■ The vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90°
bends.
Internal venting
The dryer is set up in the factory for front venting. If front venting is used there must
be adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of moisture in the room, which can
affect the performance of the dryer. Venting must comply with local by-laws and
regulations.

USING YOUR DRYER
IMPORTANT!
■ Check the lint filter is clean before every load. Ensure it is replaced correctly before
using your dryer.
■ Sort and load items into the dryer drum, ensuring no items are in the way of the door.
■ Close the door.
■ Ensure your dryer connect to an appropriate power supply(220V-240V, 50Hz).
Preparing your load
■ Check whether the loads have been spun by washing machine.
■ Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the dryer.
■ Close zippers, hooks, fastenings, and remove loose bra wires.
These may damage both your dryer and your clothes.
■ Make sure that the laundry is suitable for drying in the tumble dryer. You can find
some information on the laundry labels.
Loading the dryer
Garments need to be loaded correctly to minimise creasing and wrinkling, and to
ensure the load is dried evenly. Make sure there is plenty of room for the garments
to tumble freely while drying.
To reduce tangling and creasing
■ Load items individually.
■ Shake clothes out and load individually to help items dry evenly.
■ Launder permanent press garments separately, eg business shirts.
■ Allow enough room in the dryer for clothes to tumble freely.
■ Hang garments as soon as the drying cycle is complete to reduce the need for
ironing.
IMPORTANT!
■ Do not overload your dryer, as this may damage your dryer and clothes.
■ Never put dripping wet clothes in or on top of the dryer as excess water may
cause an electrical hazard.
■ Do not place an item in your dryer unless the care label specifically states it is
safe to do so.
■ Always follow the instructions on the care label.
■ Do not dry curtains in your dryer. Sunlight makes them brittle and they may
disintegrate during drying.

CLEANING YOUR DRYER
Cleaning your dryer
Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
(ie unplug the dryer from the power socket).
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the dryer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or
scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your dryer.
Cleaning the inside of your dryer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your dryer. If the drum has
any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Do not leave any metal objects in the drum, as these may cause rust.
Cleaning the lint filter
■ Lint is generally formed during wearing and washing. Fibres (ie lint) released from
clothes during the drying cycle are collected in the lint filter.
■ It is important to clean the lint filter after every load, as the lint produced in the
drying process can become a fire hazard if it is allowed to accumulate in or around
your dryer.
■ The lint filter is located in the door opening (at the bottom).
■ Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of your
dryer.
To clean the filter:
1 Open the dryer door.
2 Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the
filter slot.
3 Open it out and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
4 Close the lint filter and place it back in the opening.
Ensure the filter is fitted correctly back in place before
operating the dryer.
IMPORTANT!
If the lint filter becomes damaged, contact your Haier Repairer to arrange for
a replacement filter. Do not operate your dryer with a damaged lint filter or
without the filter in place, as this will cause damage to your dryer.
