SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 signicant amounts
of these oils.
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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 re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• 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.

WARNING
• All U.S. models are designed 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 neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the
dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
• 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” (1 cm) deep well socket.

STEP 6 Power on (for gas models)
Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then,
plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation
using the nal checklist in Step 7 below.
STEP 7 Final check
When installation is complete, conrm that:
• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
For gas models:
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).
CAUTION
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. To conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Before you start
A
Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.
Sort and load
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a
time.
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items
together.
• To improve drying efciency for one or
two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items
before inserting them into the dryer.
Tangled items may degrade the drying
efciency or cause the door to open.
Functional prerequisite
Lint lter
• Overloading reduces the tumbling
performance, resulting in uneven
drying and wrinkling.
• Unless recommended on the care label,
do not dry woolens or berglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol,
gasoline, etc.
Before you start
To prevent a risk of re, make sure to
clean the lint lter before or after every
load.
1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Open the door and pull out the lint lter
(A) from inside the drum.
3. Remove the lint, and then clean the lint
lter.
4. Reinsert the lint lter, and then close
the door.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the dryer without the
lint lter in place.
• Do not use a damaged or broken lint
lter. This may reduce performance
and/or cause re.

Troubleshooting
Checkpoints
If the dryer operates abnormally, rst check the list of problems in the table below and
try the suggested actions.
Does not run.
Does not heat.
Troubleshooting
Problem Action
• Make sure the door is latched shut.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical
outlet.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door is
opened during a cycle.
• Clean the lint lter.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heating. Check the selected
cycle again.
• For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint lter and exhaust duct.
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of
the cycle.
• Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY
cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs
an air dry process in the beginning of the cycle to reduce
energy consumption. The air dry process does not use
heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being
heated, but this is normal.
English50

Problem Action
Does not dry.
Is noisy.
Dries unevenly.
• Check all of the above, plus...
• Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open
and close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should
be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may
require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and
extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few
towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove
some items and restart the dryer.
• Clean the lint lter.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons,
nails, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element
cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the
installation instructions.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of
air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.
• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not
be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached
the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose
a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher
dryness level.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as
one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item
will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has
reached the selected dryness level.
• For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light
weight items separately.

Extended time.
Problem Action
• Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc.
may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is
normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it,
pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the
room before using the dryer.
• Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist,
wash and dry the item again.
• Use the REFRESH cycle (DVE(G)50R5400* models only). If
odors persist, wash and dry the items again.
• Make sure the lint lter is cleaned before every load. For
clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the lter during
the cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white
cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from
clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black
linen pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
• Remove lint inside the drum before drying.
• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
• Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
• Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.
• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop
after a short time.
• Sprayed water is difcult to see when the door is closed.
• Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load
and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is
reached. The drying time can change according to the type
and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.
If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.
