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 to the dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. If you wish to dry 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 they will 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 to cool 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 may be increased lint accumulation or flammable materials in the atmosphere or load.
- Do not operate this product without the lint filter in place or allow lint to accumulate in or around the dryer.
- This dryer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dryer by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the dryer.
- Unplug the machine from the power supply when it is not in use.
- Do not swing on or put weight on the door.
- Your dryer is designed to stop operating in the event of power outage. Whenpower is resumed, the machine will remain off until the ‘Power’ button is pressed. To restart the dryer, press ‘Power’, select your drying cycle and press ‘Start / Pause’.
- Never attempt to repair the dryer yourself.
- The only user-removable parts of the dryer are the lint filter. No other parts are designed to be removed by anyone other than a Haier Repairer.
- For problems that cannot be solved from information in this User Guide, turn off and unplug your dryer and contact a Haier Repairer.
- When disposing of the dryer, it is recommended that the door is removed to avoid children getting trapped inside, and that the electrical cable is cut off 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.
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 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 HDV70E1 model is rated at 7kg. The HDV50E1 model is rated at 5kg. Do not overload your dryer.

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.
Free standing
The dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.
- Move the dryer into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.
- Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20mm.
- Have a minimum clearance at the rear of 75mm. The spacers from the accessory wall mounting kit can be used to set this distance.
- Install the dryer on a stable and level floor
IMPORTANT!
Do not put the heavy loads on the top of your dryer, eg the wet clothes that
were taken out of the washing machine.

- 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.
- Ensure duvet/doona covers are fastened before placing in the dryer.
- 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.

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).
- There is a warning light that will flash at the beginning of every cycle to remind you to clean the filter. Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of your dryer.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
To clean the filter:
- Open the dryer door.
- Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter slot.
- Open it out and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
- 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 trained and supported
service technician 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. Your dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of
its own problems. It will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a
code when it has a problem that you can correct yourself.
