SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Children under 3 years of age must be kept away from the tumble dryer unless they are constantly supervised.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. 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 and so create a fire hazard.
• The tumble dryer is not a toy! To prevent the risk of injury, do not allow children to play with it or near it, or to play with the controls.
• Before setting up the tumble dryer, check it for any externally visible damage.
• Do not install or use a damaged tumble dryer.
• Before connecting the tumble dryer, ensure that the connection data match the mains electricity supply If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• The electrical safety of this tumble dryer can only be guaranteed when correctly earthed.
• Do not connect the tumble dryer to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or silmilarly qualified person.
• Faulty components must be replaced by original spare parts.
• The tumble dryer must be isolated from the mains supply in the event of a fault and during cleaning and maintenance.
• Do not install the tumble dryer in a room where there is a risk of frost occurring. The ambient temperature should be between 5 °C and 35 °C.
• Do not install the tumble dryer behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side of the tumble dryer door as this limits the full opening of the tumble dryer door.
• Lint must not to be allowed to accumulate around the tumble dryer, if applicable.
• Always keep the area around the tumble dryer free of dust and lint. Also make sure that the area is dry and well ventilated.
• The tumble dryer must not be used in a non-stationary location (e.g. a ship).
• Do not make any alterations to the tumble dryer, unless authorised to do so by Haier.
• In areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the tumble dryer and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Do not load more than Nominal load.
• Items which contain residues of flammable substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, benzine, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers or other chemicals should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• If it is unavoidable to dry items that contain vegetable oil, cooking oil, hair care or cosmetical products, they should be washed using additional detergent and select a high temperature. If in doubt, wash the items several times.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation options

Your dryer can be installed one of two ways, either freestanding, or stacked on top of a Haier front loading washer.

1 Free standingThe dryer stands on the floor and can easily be moved into position.2 StackingYour dryer has been designed to be able to be stacked on top of a Haier front loading washer. A stacking kit MUST BE USED between the products and fitted correctly to the washing machine and dryer, as per the stacking kit instructions.

1 Move the machine into the desired position. Do not lift the dryer by the top panel.2 Have a minimum clearance on all sides of at least 20 mm.3 Install the machine on a stable and level floor (if not stacking on top of a front loading washer).

.. Do not install your dryer in such a way that the dryer door cannot be opened fully... 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 machine on top of its power cable.

Levelling the machine

It is IMPORTANT to level the machine to ensure the machine runs efficiently with minimal noise. The dryer should be levelled in as close to its final position as possible so it stands balanced evenly on all four feet. Ensure the dryer does not rock in any direction.

The dryer comes with four adjustable feet, wind all four feet up or down until the dryer is correctly level. A spirit level can assist with this process. The machine is considered level when the bubble sits in the centre (ie within the two lines or the circle), when the spirit level is placed flat on top of your dryer, in the directions from:1 left to right,2 back to front and3 corner to corner.

Never unscrew the feet completely from their housings.

Note: after levelling, the corners of the dryer cabinet should be clear of the floor and the machine must not rock in any direction.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Draining

The dryer is equipped with a condenser unit which accumulates water during the drying cycle. This water is collected in the removable water tank located at the top left of the dryer. The accumulated water must be emptied after each drying cycle. However you can also set up your dryer to drain automatically using the drain hose provided.Connecting the drain hose:1 Remove the black hose from the connection at the back of the dryer (A).2 Uncoil the drain hose (included with your dryer) and connect it to the black hose(B)3 Place the other end of the drain hose into a tub or standpipe.

IMPORTANT!If you connect the drain hose onto your dryer and you do not secure the other end in a drain, your dryer will drain water onto the floor. Ensure the drain hose is securely fixed in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the connection to the machine. Check the connection and drain hose regularly.

.. Maximum standpipe height is 1.0 m from ground level... Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint and other obstructions, which may affect drainage and cause flooding... The drain hose should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage, eg wear, cuts, bulged, kinks, leaks, etc are found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply as this may cause it to split... The extended length of the provided drain hose is 1.3 m... In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on a floor equipped with a drain... Draining must comply with local by-laws.

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

When you have finished using your dryer

.. Unplug the machine from the power socket... Wipe around the door to remove any remaining condensation and foreign matter... Clear the lint filter and empty the water tank (if not set up to automatically drain).

Cleaning your dryer

Before you start cleaning your dryer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug the machine from the power socket).

Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the dryerUse 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 dryerIt 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 the 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. The warning light will also flash on and off during the cycle if the filter becomes blocked. The filter should be cleaned as soon as the `Lint Filter’ light starts flashing. Lint becomes a fire hazard if left to build up, and will reduce the efficiency of your dryer.

To clean the filter:

1. Open the dryer door.
2. Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and out of the filter slot. Open it out and wipe the surfaces clean with your hand.
3. 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 getting a new 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 and is a fire hazard.

16

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

Emptying the water collection tank

During the drying cycle steam condenses into water and is collected in the water tank, located at the top left of the dryer. It is important to empty the water tank after every load.

A user warning will also be displayed on the screen If the water tank becomes full during operation, the dryer will pause and beep to alert you. Empty the tank and touch to resume the cycle.

Note: you do not need to empty the water tank if you have set up the drain hose to drain the water automatically.

To empty the water tank:

1. Remove the water tank by holding onto the handle and pulling outwards gently to remove it. Ensure that you keep the tank level when it is being removed to prevent the water collected from spilling.
2. Pour the water down the sink or into a bucket, and then put the tank back in place.

IMPORTANT!.. Do not use the water collected in the water tank for drinking or food processing... Never run the dryer without the water tank in place unless the drain hose has been installed.. If the water tank becomes full, the tumble dryer will pause drying and will sound an alarm. You must empty the water tank before the dryer can continue drying. Empty the tank, replace it in the housing then touch to resume the cycle.

17

CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

Cleaning the condenser filter

To clean the condenser filter:

1. Switch off the power supply and remove the power plug before cleaning the condenser.
2. Open the condenser filter cover.
3. Turn the four condenser lock levers 90° then pull out the condenser filter.
4. Remove rear filter and wipe the surface clean with your hand.
5. Replace the condenser filter.
6. Turn the four condenser filter lock levers to lock the condenser filter back in place again. Make sure that these locks are engaged securely.
7. Close the condenser filter cover.

Note: if the evaporator behind the condenser filter is dirty, it can be cleaned carefully with a vacuum cleaner using a dusting brush or narrow crevice nozzle.

Cleaning the sensors

There are sensors in your dryer that detect whether the laundry is dry or not. These sensors need to be cleaned periodically (we recommend approximately four times a year).

To clean the sensors:

1. Open the door of your machine.
2. Allow the machine to cool if drying has been carried out.
3. Locate the metal sensors just behind the lint filter.
4. Wipe the sensors with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar. Dry the sensors with a soft dry cloth.
