This document is an installation and user guide for a Haier vented clothes dryer, specifically models HDV60A1 and HDV40A1. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, and maintenance of the appliance.
Function Description:
The Haier vented clothes dryer is designed for domestic use to dry textile materials that have been washed in water. It operates by circulating air, which can be heated (Normal Dry) or unheated (Air Dry), through the drum to remove moisture from clothes. The dryer is equipped with a lint filter to collect lint produced during the drying process, which is crucial for both efficiency and safety. It offers various drying cycles, including auto-sensor drying for everyday cotton items and timed drying options. A "wrinkle free" operation is automatically initiated after a cycle ends to minimize creasing if items are not removed immediately. The dryer is designed for flexibility in installation, allowing for free-standing, inverted wall mounting, or stacking on a compatible Haier front-load washing machine. It also supports both internal and external venting options to manage exhaust air.

- Maximum vent system length: 2 metres with no more than three 90° bends.
Usage Features:
The dryer features a user-friendly control panel with a control dial, a Start/Pause button, and an indicator light.
- Control Dial: Used to select desired drying cycles or turn off the dryer.
- Start/Pause Button: Initiates or pauses the selected drying cycle.
- Indicator Light: Flashes when a cycle is selected, remains lit when the cycle starts, and flashes rapidly if a fault occurs.
- Drying Cycles:
- Normal Dry - Auto Sensor Dry: A heat cycle recommended for rapid drying of everyday cotton fabrics like t-shirts, sheets, and trousers.
- Normal Dry - 30, 60, 120, 180 min: Timed heat drying options for specific durations.
- Air Dry - 30, 60 min: Timed drying options without heat, suitable for items that require gentle drying or airing.
- Wrinkle Free Operation: Automatically activates for 1 hour after a cycle finishes, rotating the drum periodically with cool air to minimize wrinkling and creasing. This can be stopped by pressing Start/Pause or opening the door.
- Loading: Garments should be loaded individually and shaken out to minimize tangling, creasing, and ensure even drying. Pockets should be checked, and zippers/fastenings closed.
- Safety Features: The dryer is designed to stop operating during a power outage and will remain off until the 'Power' button is pressed. It also includes warnings against operating without the lint filter, overloading, or drying items with flammable substances.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dryer's efficiency and safety.
- Lint Filter Cleaning: The lint filter, located in the door opening, must be cleaned before every load. This prevents lint accumulation, which can be a fire hazard and reduce drying efficiency. Instructions are provided for removing, cleaning, and reinserting the filter.
- Interior Cleaning: The inside of the drum should be occasionally cleaned with a damp cloth to remove any residual dirt or lint. Metal objects should not be left in the drum to prevent rust.
- Control Panel and Outer Surfaces Cleaning: These surfaces should be wiped with a soft damp cloth and then dried. Chemical or scouring cleaners should be avoided to prevent damage.
- Exhaust Ducting Inspection: For external venting, the exhaust ducting should be periodically inspected and cleaned to remove accumulated lint.
- Professional Servicing: Accumulated lint in the dryer's interior should be cleaned at regular intervals by a Haier trained and supported service technician, especially when the installation type (free-standing or inverted) is changed. Any damaged power cords or other problems not solvable by the user guide require contact with a Haier Repairer.
- Disposal: When disposing of the dryer, it is recommended to remove the door and cut off the electrical cable to prevent children from getting trapped.
