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.
Recommended Use only for short-run installation
English - 12
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 foiPtype flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer
and that comply with the OutEine for Clothes DryerTransition Ducts, Subject 21S8A.

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 asthe washer, fully retract the
leveling feet CA)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.
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.
DQ NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting.Thesejoints 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.
Review the"Electrical requirements" section on page 16.
BEFOREOPERATINGORTESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the"Grounding"section on page 9.

Review the"Gas requirements" section on page 1S.
Remove the pipe thread protective cap. Apply a pipejoint compound or about 1V2wraps of Teflon tape over
all threaded connections.
The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions 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 the 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.

Load the drLjer properlLJ
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 aswell 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. CIosethe 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.
,_ Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.
