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 authori zed s ervice 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.

Spontaneous combustion

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 thetemperature 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 of 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 HDV70A1 model is rated at 7kg.
• Do not overload your dryer.
• A damaged power cord must be replaced by a Haier authorized service technician.
• The appliance must not be operated until it is repaired, as there is risk of electric shock.

Location

IMPORTANT

• The dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated, dust free environment.
• The dryer must not be installed on any textured floor coverings (eg carpet, rugs).
• Do not install the dryer outside, in a damp place, where there is a risk of freezing, where it may be rained on, in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat.
• Do not place your dryer on top of its power cable.

Venting

Correct installation is very important for all dryers to maximize 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.
  • Exhaust air 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 dr yer 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.

1. Move the dryer into the desired position.
2. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.
3. Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20mm.
4. Have a minimum clearance at the rear of 75mm.
5. 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. Before a rear venting option is installed the dryer must be changed from the front venting factory setup. Remove the outlet grille from the front left-hand side and replace with the outlet cover from the rear left-hand side. These covers should be gently pried at the sides to prevent damage.

Internal venting

Front venting is the only option for internal venting. The dryer is set up for front venting when it leaves the factory.

Note
Where possible all efforts should be made to vent the dryer externally to avoid moisture build up around the dryer.

External venting

The dryer can be vented directly through the wall with a flexible hose, in combination with the hose connector supplied with the dryer.

Tools and parts require

• Slotted screwdriver kit part includes:
• 1 x Hose connector
• 1 x Flexible hose
• 1 x Flexible hose clip

Connect the narrow end of the connector to the dryer duct pipe mouth at the back of the dryer. Then connect the flexible hose to the wide end of the connector. Use the clip to fasten connection point between the flexible hose and connector fasten clip with a screwdriver. Extend the flexible hose through the duct hole, make sure the flexible hose is not twised to allow the air to be vented outside.

Note
The vent system should be a maximum of two metres with no more than three 90° bends.

Electrical connection

This appliance must be connected to a 220V-240V, 50Hz, sinusoidal, 10A electrical supply. Uncoil the power cord, remove and discard the plastic pin cover and plug into a
power socket. Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity. Check the power cord for damage and make sure it is not squashed or twisted when installing the dryer. Always remove the power cord from the power socket by the plug, not by the cord.
