WARNING - Risk of Fire

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed installer.

• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

• Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂ exible plastic venting materials. If ﬂ exible metal (foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a speciﬁ c type identiﬁ ed 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 airﬂ ow and increase the risk of ﬁ re.

• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION:

WARNING

• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ﬂ ammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or ﬂ ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these ﬂ ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed. There are many highly ﬂ ammable 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 ﬁ re by spontaneous combustion.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

WARNING

• 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 ﬁ re department.

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

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS:

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances.

This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

Gas appliances may cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot; as a result of possible incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

CAUTION

1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

2. Because of continuing product improvements, Samsung reserves the right to change

speciﬁ cations 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. 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 signiﬁ cant amounts of these oils.

6. 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 ﬁ re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a ﬁ re hazard.

7. 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.

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

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Make sure you have everything necessary for the proper installation

• A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. Refer to the “Electrical requirements” section on

page 19.

• A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).

• GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.

• The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or ﬂ exible sti -walled metal exhaust ducting.

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 accumulation of lint.

• Lint should be removed regularly.

• If a ﬂ exible metal duct must be used, use the type with a sti sheet metal wall. Do not use a ﬂ exible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the ﬂ exible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of ﬂ exible 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 ﬂ exible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airﬂ ow, extend drying times, and a ect the dryer operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, a ect 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.

INSTALLATION

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

To install

01 INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the

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

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 ﬂ oor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

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 on page 17 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 ﬂ exible 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.
