Haier HDY-M40, HDY-M60 manual Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injuries, the following basic precautions should be followed:

1Read all instructions before using this dryer.

2The interior of the dryer should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build up in the interior of the dryer could result in inefficient drying and pose a possible fire hazard.

3The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer in such a way that a full opening of the tumble dryer is restricted.

4Attention - rear panel can be hot.

5The tumble dryer should not be used if industrial chemicals have been used to clean the dryer.

6The dryer must only be used for its intended purpose.

7Clean lint screen before or after each load.

8This appliance is not intended for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

9Do not operate the dryer if any parts are missing or broken.

10To avoid fire hazard or electrical shock do not use an adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this

warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

11To avoid fire hazard or electrical shock do not reach into the drum while the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the drum.

12Do not attempt to modify or repair the controls.

13The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to cool items to a temperature that ensures that they will not be damaged. Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

14Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine,waxes and wax removers, etc. Do not store or use these items on or in the vicinity of the dryer. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your

dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. 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 create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or 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 hazard.
