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
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.

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.
WARNING
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 dryer times. 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. 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. To reduce risk of fire, dryer MUST BE
EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
3. Do not allow combustible material (for example: clothing, draperies/curtains,
paper) to come in contact with exhaust system. The dryer must not be
exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, or any concealed space of a
building which can accumulate lint, resulting in a fire hazard.
4. Exceeding the length of duct pipe or number of elbows allowed in the
“Maximum Length” charts can cause an accumulation of lint in the exhaust
system. Plugging the system could create a fire hazard, as well as increase
drying times.
5. Do not screen the exhaust ends of the vent system, or use any screws or rivets
to assemble the exhaust system. Lint can become caught in the screen, on the
screws or rivets, clogging the duct work and creating a fire hazard as well
as increasing drying times. Use an approved vent hood to terminate the duct
outdoors, and seal all joints with duct tape. All male duct pipe fittings must be
installed downstream with the flow of air.
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 minimum of 18
inches (45.7 cm) above the floor. Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire or burns.

Materials
INSTALL MALE FITTINGS IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and
approved vent hood that 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,
maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood
and the ground or any other obstruction. The vent flap should be able to
move freely.
MAXIMUM EXHAUST LENGTH

After installation is completed, the following method must be used to
determine if the exhaust system is acceptable:
1. Connect an inclined or digital manometer between the dryer and the point the
exhaust connects to the dryer.
2. Set the dryer timer and temperature to air fluff (cool down) and start the dryer.
3. Read the measurement on the manometer.
4. The system back pressure must not be higher than 0.75 inches of water
column. If the system back pressure is less than 0.75 inches of water column,
the system is acceptable. If the manometer reading is higher than 0.75 inches
of water column, the system is too restrictive and the installation
is unacceptable.
Although vertical orientation of the exhaust system is acceptable, certain
extenuating circumstances could affect the performance of the dryer:
1. Only the rigid 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 area not insulated may cause
condensation and faster accumulation of lint.
4. Compression or crimping of the exhaust system will cause an increase in
vent restriction.
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned a minimum of every 18
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.

EnglishEnglish
1. This appliance must be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
2. Do not use an extension cored with this dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to the electrical requirements in this manual for
the power cord to be purchased.
3. A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
4. Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with copper wired power cord and
plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is
a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
Note: Dryers operating on 208 Volt power supply will have longer drying times
than operating on 240 Volt power supply.
Danger: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. The dryer
must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
