								clothes reaches your selected dry level, the dryer will stop.
								NOTE: Sensor dry Level can be used with all cycles except Timed Dry, Air Fluff, Rack Dry, Warm Up
								and Dewrinkle.
									Extra Dry	Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.
									Dry	Use for normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy saving.
									Less Dry	Use for lighter fabric (ideal for ironing).
									Damp	For leaving items partially damp.

								Delay Dry
	E

								appear on the screen. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. This feature will only beep when the Damp Alert
								option is selected. The dryer will continue to dry after the Damp Alert indicator is populated on the screen and
								dryer beeps. Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp can reduce the need to iron some items.
								Extended Tumble
								Minimizes wrinkles by adding approximately 2 hours of no-heat tumbling after clothes are dry.
								The estimated time remaining display will show “END”.
								The extended tumble time does not get added to the cycle time on the display.
								Detangle
								Activates alternating forward and reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, dry more evenly, and improve
								drying times. Typical loads such as bed and bath mixed loads, where sheets, towels and pillow cases
								are laundered together, benefit from this capability. When the dryer reverses direction, there will be a
								slight pause and sound change. This is normal.
								NOTE: Detangle is selected by default for Towels and Heavy Duty cycles.
								eDry
								Reduces total energy consumption of specific dryer cycles by adjusting certain heat settings.
								NOTE: Cycle times will change when eDry is selected.
								ENERGY STAR® models are tested on Cottons cycle with default settings to determine energy use rating of
								this dryer. The eDry option will default to on for Cottons. Temperature settings on High and dryness level
								setting on Dry are specifically designed for this cycle to reduce energy consumption. For optimal energy
								savings, turn eDry on. For optimal drying times, turn eDry off. Energy savings will vary across loads and cycles.
								The eDry selection can be used with Mixed Loads, Cottons, Heavy Duty, Towels, Casuals, Active
6								Wear and Delicates.

CARE AND CLEANING

Interior and Duct

The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.

The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.

The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.

Exterior

Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty.

Lint Filter

Clean the lint filter before each use.

Pull out the lint filter. Moisten your fingers and remove the captured lint. Once clean, slide the filter back into position. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.

NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.

Stainless Steel

To clean stainless steel surfaces use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.

The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available in a Haier Appliances dryer. If the dryer drum should be scratched or dented during normal use, the drum will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect the function or durability of the drum.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

WARNING - Fire Hazard

This dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors.

Use only 4” rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.

Use only 4" rigid metal, UL-listed flexible metal, or UL-listed metal foil dryer transition duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust.

DO NOT use any plastic to vent the dryer, this includes the home exhaust duct, dryer transition duct, or within the dryer.

DO NOT use flexible metal or metal foil ducting for a home exhaust duct or within the dryer.

DO NOT exhaust into a chimney, kitchen exhaust, gas vent, wall, ceiling, attic, crawl space, or concealed space of a building.

DO NOT install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.

DO NOT install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

DO NOT use duct longer than specified in the exhaust length table.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

•For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.

•Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT

•If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal clothes dryer transition duct (Haier Appliances part – PM08X10085) can be used.

•Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

•Total length of transition duct should not exceed 8’ (2.4 m).

•For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations in next section). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing

the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

•Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT

•In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the home exhaust vent using flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct. UL–LISTED universal flexible dryer transition duct (Haier Appliances parts – PM8X73 or WX8X73) may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal transition ducting cannot be used AND where a 4” diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.

•In Canada and the United States, only transition ducts that comply with “UL 2158A STANDARD FOR CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT” shall be used.

•Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

•For best drying performance:

1.Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.

2.Secure the duct with a clamp.

3.With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2” of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.

4.Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.

EXHAUST LENGTH

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

•Increase the drying times and the energy cost.

•Reduce the dryer life.

•Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions noted on the chart.

•Internal elbows added for side or bottom vent conversions must be included in the total elbow count.

•Any elbow greater than 45° should be treated as a 90° elbow; one elbow of 45° or less may be ignored.

•Two 45° elbows will be treated like one 90° elbow.

•For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the chart.

•For every additional 90° elbow, reduce the allowable vent system length by 10 feet.

•When calculating the total vent system length, you must add all the straight portions and elbows of the system (including the transition duct).

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

•Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.

•Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.

•Wall caps must be installed at least 12” above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

•For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened exhaust hood (wall cap).

SEALING OF JOINTS

•All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

•Duct joints should be made airand moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.

•Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

•Horizontal runs should slope down towards the outdoors 1/4” per foot.

•Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

INSULATION

•Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

•Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil duct and replace with UL-listed duct.

•Remove any lint from the wall exhaust opening.
