CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

WARNING

Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

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:

• 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
in the 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.

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

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not turn on the appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

Important safety instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-

cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking
oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops
and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause the fabric to catch fire by itself.

4. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.

5. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance

is used near children.

6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying compartment.

7. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

9. Do not tamper with internal controls.

10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless specifically recommended in the

user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.

11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.

12. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

13. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

14. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

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

16. 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. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the
final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping 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.

17. This appliance must be grounded. See “Electrical requirements” and “Grounding” in “Installing your dryer”
section.

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

19. Do not insert your hand under the dryer.

• This may result in injury.

20. Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in the door when closing it.

• This may result in injury.

21. Control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during
servicing.

• Do not contact this part while appliance is energized.

CAUTION

1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

2. 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.

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

4. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. 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.

6. Take care that children’s fingers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in injury.

Location considerations

AA

FDE

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space
behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom,
right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which
the dryer is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow obstructions.

For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for
combustion and the proper dryer operation.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The dryer
area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer
produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.

Alcove or closet installations

* Do not use non-metallic flexible ducts.

• 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 accumulation of lint.

• Lint should be removed 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. A 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.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• Plastic flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect the dryer
operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operations, and 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 the exhaust duct 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 make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. Note: If your clothes are not getting dry, then check
the duct for obstructions.

• Do not exhaust the dryer into a 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 the lint expelled by the dryer.

DV5000H_DC68-03381A-15_EN.indd 12 2019-06-03  12:29:45

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.

• To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not dented or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.

• This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects
to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.

Exhausting

The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a
building.

Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the
room.

• All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.

• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch
lint.

• The exhaust duct should be 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter.

• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m (7.8 ft.).

In the United States:

Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer
and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A.

In Canada:

Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer.

Replacement parts and accessories

A

If your dryer requires replacement parts or accessories, contact the dealer where you purchased your dryer or the
SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).

Installation

For the proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the installation.

Consider installing the dryer and washer side-by-side, to allow access
to the gas, electrical, and exhaust connections. Place two of the carton
cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across
both cushion-tops.

2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.

3. To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying performance, it

must be level. To minimize vibrations, noise, and unwanted movement,
the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the

leveling feet (A) by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the

legs by turning them clockwise.

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 on page 13 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.

CAUTION - Before installing your dryer, remove the packing in the duct.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting. These joints should be taped.

• Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.

• Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system onto 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 unit in dryer cabinet.

5. Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 16.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the “Grounding” section on page 9.

WARNING - U.S. MODELS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - 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 the 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 “Electrical connections” on page 17.

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 in. (1 cm) deep well socket.

To reduce statics by clothing friction and spray steam at the later period of drying
cycle.

It is only available with: NORMAL, HEAVY DUTY, PERM PRESS, DELICATES (Dry level of
every course exceeds Normal) and TIME DRY course.

In order to reduce statics, the drum can be paused during operation.

Rack Dry is available in the TIME DRY cycle. Temperature will be set to Extra Low only.
(Refer to the “Rack dry (DV42H5400* Only)” section on page 31.)

dry (80 % dried). This lets you take garments that you don’t want fully dried or that
dry quickly out of the dryer early while letting others continue to dry.

You can select this function in all Sensor Dry cycles except WOOL, SANITIZE. The dry
level selections are limited to Normal Dry, More Dry, and Very Dry.

Wrinkle Prevent provides approximately 180 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.

Choose your favorite cycle including cycle, temp, dry level option, etc. (Refer to the

3. Dry Level

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 Very Dry or
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. Damp Dry is designed to partially dry items. Use for items that lay flat or hang to dry.

4. Temp.

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.

Med Low For lower heat than Medium to dry synthetic or washable knit fabrics.

Low For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble Dry Warm.

Extra Low Provides the lowest heated dry temperature possible.

5. Time

When using Manual Dry cycles, you can adjust the drying time by pressing the Time selection button.
During the Sensor Dry cycle, the time light indicator is off because exact drying times are determined by

fluctuating humidity levels.

6. LED Display

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.
If your dryer is paused during a cycle, the indicator lights will blink until the Start/Pause button is pressed.

7. Power

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

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.

If you insert laundry into your dryer while it is extremely tangled immediately after your washer has
finished a wash or spin cycle, it may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open. We
recommend that you untangle your laundry appropriately before inserting it.

Getting started

1. Load your dryer loosely (DO NOT overload).

2. Close the door.

3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load. (For detail, refer to the “Cycle overview” on next page.)

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 as humidity levels fluctuate in the dryer.

• When the cycle is complete, “End” will appear in the display.

• Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.

• The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the
cycle.

03 OPERATION

Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.
