WARNING - Risk of Fire
e
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
e
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.
e
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 the clothes dryer's 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:
WARNinG
• 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.
/!X 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 fire department.
• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions
19. Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
20. Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
21. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
22. Gas suppliers recommend you _urchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
Z_ CAUTION
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. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
4.
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 significant 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 fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping
and can create a fire 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 fingers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in
injury.
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT
ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

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 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.
• 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 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 ducting 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.

The cord is sold separately. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer - if it doesn't fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
If a power cord is not used and the electric dryer is to be permanently wired, the dryer must be connected to a permanently grounded metal wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the dryer.
18 Installing your dryer
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the "Grounding" section on page 18.
An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models - U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 18-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is
required.
Electric models - U.S. only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require 120/208 volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found
on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of
the line is required.
• If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
• The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
Z/_X RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
WAR,_,GWhen local codes allow, the electrical supply of the dryer may be connected by means of
a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L listed and rated at a minimum of120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit
installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a4-prong plug for 4 wire
receptacles, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models - Canada Only
• A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
• All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be
plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.

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 qualified installer.
To install
Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the
t. Level
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 by turning them
counterclockwise, then loosen the legs by turning them clockwise.
Leveling feet
Retract fully i Then loosen
[_ djust 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 16 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.

below.
t0. (GAS MODELS ONLY)
The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm the gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.
