This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See

installation instructions for grounding this appliance. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

_ ecause of continuing product improvements, Samsung reserves the right to change

specifications without notice. For complete details, see the Installation Instructions packed with your product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning

installation.

A Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

....... coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

WARNING

Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these oils.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to

heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.

All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not

eliminate, the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these items when they

are hot.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct. Do not use a smaller duct.

Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

Ifa flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct

with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF

A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A

FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

A plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer operation.

Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and

may collect lint. The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and

the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.

Ifexhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly

down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning. Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely. Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: Ifclothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

2. Use a 4" diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.

Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.

Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

[

Don't let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:

1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system. 1

2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.

3. Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many elbows.

4. Having crushed or clogged ducts and vent.

Toselect a cycle, rotate the Cycle Selector dial to the desired cycle. The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The Normal, Heavy Duty,

Perm Press and Delicates cycles are Sensor Dry cycles. Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer

off when the selected dryness level (more dry to damp dry) is reached. Normal - Use this cycle to dry loads such as cotton, underwear, and linen.

Heavy Duty - Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as jeans, corduroys, or work clothes.

Perm Press - Dry wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits, and permanent press fabrics automatically. The cycle minimizes wrinkling by providing a longer unheated cool-down period at the end of the cycle.

Delicates - The Delicates cycle is designed to dry heat-sensitive items at a low drying temperature.

Time Dry - Time Dry allows you to select the desired cycle time in minutes. Turn the Cycle Selector dial to Time Dry, then press the Adjust Time up arrow

to set the drying time. Press the arrow repeatedly to scroll through the time settings. Wrinkle Release - The Wrinkle Release cycle will release wrinkles from items

that are clean, dry, and only slightly wrinkled, such as clothes from a crowded closet, suitcase or items that have been in the dryer too long after the cycle has ended. Wrinkle Release can be used with any temperature selection.

Air Fluff - The Air Fluffcycle tumbles the load in room temperature air. Time can be added or subtracted from the automatically set times in the

Manual Dry cycles (Time Dry, Wrinkle Release, or Air Fluff cycles). Toadd or subtract time from the cycle, press the Adjust Time arrow pad up

or down until the desired time is displayed.

Wrinkle Prevent provides approximately 90 minutes of intermittent tumbling in unheated air at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Press the Wrinkle

Prevent button to activate this feature. The indicator light above the pad will illuminate when Wrinkle Prevent is

selected. The load is dry, and can be removed at any time during the Wrinkle Prevent cycle.

20 operatng Instructions, tps

The display window shows the estimated time remaining in the cycle after the

Start/Pause button is pressed. The estimated time remaining may fluctuate as the cycle progresses.

The Drying light will illuminate and remain lit until the cycle is complete. When your dryer is in the cool-down phase, the Cooling light will illuminate.

When your dryer is in the wrinkle prevent phase, the Wrinkle Prevent light will

illuminate.

When the cycle is complete, "END" will appear in the display panel until the

dryer door is opened or the Power button is pushed. Ifyour dryer is paused during a cycle, the indicator lights will blink until the

Start/Pause button is pressed.

To select the dry level in the Normal, Heavy Duty, or other Sensor Dry cycles,

press the Dry Level button. An indicator light will illuminate next to the desired dryness level. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings.

Larger or bulkier loads may require the More Dry setting for complete dryness. The Less Dry setting is best suited for lightweight fabrics or for leaving some moisture in the clothing at the end of the cycle. Use for items that lay flat or hang to dry.

To select the correct temperature for the load, press the Temp button. An

indicator light will illuminate next to the desired temperature. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the settings.

High - For sturdy cottons or those labeled Tumble Dry. Medium - For permanent press, synthetics, lightweight cottons, or items

labeled Tumble Dry Medium. Low - For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble DryWarm.

Extra Low - Provides the lowest heated dry temperature possible.

When using Manual Dry cycles, time can be adjusted by pressing the Time

Selection button. During the Sensory Dry cycle, the time light indicator is off because exact

drying times are determined by fluctuating humidity levels.

Press to pause and restart programs.

Press once to turn your dryer on, press again to turn it off. Ifyour dryer is left on for more than 10 minutes without any buttons being touched, the power automatically turns off.

This is an alarm that notifies the user when the average dry levelis damp dry

(80% dried). This is useful when the laundry contains various types of clothing

you do not want to dry completely. An alarm sounds for five (5)seconds while

continuing to perform the cycle.

This function can only be selected in the Sensor Dry course, and the dry levelcan

only be selected from among Normal Dry, More Dry.
