safety instructions
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.
Because 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.
Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.
WARNING
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.
If a 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.
If exhaust 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: If clothes are not getting dry, then
check ducting for obstructions.

Gather the required tools and parts before starting the installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
Tools and Parts
Pliers Cutting knife Pipe wrench (gas only) Nut drivers
Level Phillips Screwdriver Duct tape Wrench
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a professional. To install:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side
by-side. This will allow access to gas, electrical, and exhaust connections. Lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement,the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
01 installing your dryer
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the legs by turning them clockwise
Retract fully Then loosen
Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

4. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the ductwork from your dryer
to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material. Tip for tight installations: install a section of exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover ventilation slots at the back of the unit in the dryer cabinet.
5. Review Electrical Requirements section.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
U.S. MODELS:
IMPORTANT – All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The Dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile
homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor. If the 4-wire system is used, the Dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. Refer to the following instructions for 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8” (1cm) deep well socket.
6. Review Gas Requirements section.
Remove the pipe thread protective cap. Apply pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teflon tape over all threaded connections.
Pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
Connect the gas supply to your Dryer.
An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Securely tighten the gas line fitting over threads. Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS
Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
WARNING
1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air
easily.
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.
4. 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.
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.

To select 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. 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 Fluff cycle 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). To add 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.

operating Instructions, tips
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics
being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.
Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying.
This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some
fabrics.
GETTING STARTED
1. Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.
2. Close the door.
3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 20, 21).
4. Press the Start/Pause button.
5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.
6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.
The time may fluctuate to better indicate drying time remaining in the cycle.
When the cycle is complete, “End” will appear in the display.
Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.
The Drying, Cooling, and Done indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.
Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.

Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Check all of the above, plus...
Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close freely.
Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected
and cleaned annually.
Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require
repositioning to ensure even drying.
Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water
from the load.
Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc.
Remove promptly.
It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on
and off during the drying cycle.
Be sure the Dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation
instruction.
It is normal for the Dryer to hum from the high velocity of air moving
through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be
completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the More Dry setting if desired.
If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel
with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the Dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely
before using the Dryer.
Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart
the cycle.
Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
