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.

WARNING

Gas Appliances:

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive toxicity.

Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances, including but not limited to , benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, substances resulting from the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

CAUTION

1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

DV425000_DC68-03381A.indd 9 2013-12-19 �� 1:07:10

Location considerations

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

WARNING

• The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of ﬁre when installed in an alcove or closet.

• No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.

* 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.

English - 12

DV425000_DC68-03381A.indd 12 2013-12-19 �� 1:07:11

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.

02 INSTALLATION

Outside the U.S. and Canada:

Refer to the local codes.

WARNING

• The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of ﬁre when installed in an alcove or closet.

• NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-ﬂammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air, heat,

and lint.

Replacement parts and accessories

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 qualied 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.

• 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 16.

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.

02 INSTALLATION

A strain relief must be used.

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.
