17.The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
18.Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
WARNING
19.Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
20.Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should be observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignit
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stackin or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/ gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should no be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in domesti environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by th manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes an rubbercoated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).

Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
•AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required
•Use an individual branch circuit specific to the washing machine
To ensure proper grounding, the washing machine comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceperson if you are not sure about the grounding.
Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.
WARNING
•Do NOT use an extension cord.
•Use only the power cord that comes with the washing machine.
•Do NOT connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
•Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock.
Water supply
A proper water pressure for this washing machine is between 50 kPa and 800 kPa. Water pressure less than 50 kPa may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washing machine to turn off. Water taps must be within 120 cm from the rear of the washing machine so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washing machine.
To reduce the risk of leaks:
•Make sure water taps are easily accessible.
•Turn off the taps when the washing machine is not in use.
•Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks.
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe in height of 60~90 cm. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.

Installation
Installation
Flooring
For best performance, the washing machine must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are
not a good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washing machine to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION
Do NOT install the washing machine on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washing machine in areas where water may freeze as the washing machine always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washing machine.
Alcove or closet installation
