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.

contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical

not be used in the dryer until all traces of the flammable liquids and its
fumes have been removed.

DANGER
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old
dryer, take off the door so that children may
not easily get trapped inside.
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.
WARNING
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.
