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

Care and Cleaning Guide
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned before and after each use for your unit to
operate at optimum efficiency. The filter can be slid out, by pulling on
the tab located on the inside of the dryer door. The filter may be
washed or vacuumed. Remove the excess water from the filter by
gently shaking the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped in
the filter. Lint build-up in screen restricts airflow, which causes longer
drying times. After cleaning, slide the filter back in place. DO NOT
USE YOUR DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER.
• Do not use any type of spray cleaner when cleaning the interior.
Hazardous fumes or electric shock could occur. If dryer drum becomes
stained, clean the drum with a damp cloth. Remove any residue before
drying the next load.
• Clean cabinet with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners, this could damage the dryer.
• Clean the duct and the vent on a regular basis to avoid clogging which
could affect the efficiency of the dryer.

• Check if the unit is in “Off” mode. Press Start button again.
• Check if door is open.
Dryer is working but not drying the clothes:
• Unit may be over loaded. The dryer drum should only be half full.
• Check exhaust ducts and vent. Vent should be free of all obstructions.
• Duct should be lint and dust free. Ducts should be cleaned regularly.
• Dryer load needs to be resorted. Heavy clothes may need to
be separated from regular clothes.
• Bulky clothes may require repositioning.
• If clothes dry unevenly a higher dry setting may be required or
clothes in the dryer may need to be resorted.
Dryer making noise when drying:
• Coins, loose change, buttons and other heavy objects could make noise.
• Dryer may need to be leveled evenly.
Read Operating Guide – Normal Operating Sounds.
Static:
• Caused by over drying. Adjust for shorter drying time.

• Use a fabric softener.
TroubleShooting

12
English
Select a suitable location for the dryer on a hard even surface away from direct
sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc.
Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the
bottom of the dryer.
• Phillips head and flathead screwdrivers
• Channel-lock adjustable pliers
• 1/2 inch open end wrench
• Carpenter’s level
• Measuring tape (12ft. min.)
• Duct tape
• Rigid or flexible metal 4 inch (10.2 cm) duct
• Vent hood
Power Supply:
3 or 4 wire, 240 Volt, 30 Amp, 60Hz, 1 Phase
Power Supply Cord Kit: (not supplied when sold in the United States)
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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking Your Dryer

English
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 out doors, 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, nor 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 out-
doors, 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.

Exhaust System Connections
Requirements and Instructions

14
English
Materials
Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) 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, 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

15
English
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.

English
Do Not Install Your Dryer:
• In an area exposed to dripping water or outside weather conditions.
• In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or
anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• On carpet. Floor must be solid with a maximum slope of
1inch (2.54 cm).
Installation in Recess or Closet:
• A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, must be
exhausted outdoors.
• Your dryer needs the space around it for proper ventilation.
• A minimum of 120 square inches (774.2 square cm) of opening,
equally divided at the top and bottom of the door, is required. Air
openings are required to be unobstructed when a door is installed. A
louvered door with equivalent air openings for the full length of the
door is acceptable.

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 cord 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 proper 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.
