Congratulations on your new Samsung Dryer. This manual contains valuable

information on the installation, use, and care of your appliance. Please take the

time to read this manual to take full advantage of your dryer's many benefits and features.

WARNING - Risk of Fire

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer. Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes. Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire. To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

WARNINe

Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable liquids or solids should not be placed inthe dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers

Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber- like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.

Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.

n tnA tion

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

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.

....... 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.

WARNIN_

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. Evenafter being washed, these items may contain significant amounts of these

oils.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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.

Do not use plastic flexible duct. 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.

INSTALLATION - GENERAL PROCEDURE

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer. Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.

To install the dryer, follow these steps:

t. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.

To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it

lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright. Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.

If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page. When done, return to Step 3 below.

Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work 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.

A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the

back of the dryer cabinet.

4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.

If the power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off.

For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the "" section on page 8.

• Although the dryer is available even if the blockage message is displayed, the drying time may be extended.

• If the LEVEL 1 message is displayed the first time the dryer is run after the installation, check the connection and clean the duct. If the LEVEL 1 message appears even

after you have checked and cleaned the ducts, this may indicate that there are some

restrictions of the duct due to the length, condition, etc. If this occurs, you can use the dryer normally and no countermeasures need to be taken. However, the drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.

The ductwork is free from blockages.
