Installation

Read through the following instructions before installing the dryer and keep this manual for future reference.

WARNING

• The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
• Service personnel - Do not contact these parts while the appliance is energized.

Key installation requirements

• A grounded electrical outlet.
• A power cord for electric dryers (except in Canada).
• Gas lines (for gas models) that must meet national and local regulations.
• An exhaust system made of rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.

WARNING

Remove the door from all discarded appliances to prevent a child from suffocating.

Location considerations

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory- ready for the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom, right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which the dryer is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-flow obstructions. For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for combustion and the proper dryer operation.

The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. The dryer area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint.

The area around the dryer should be kept lint-free.

Alcove or closet installations

WARNING

The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet.

No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.

Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces:

Undercounter installation

Installation with pedestal

Installation with stacked washing machine and dryer

NOTE

• The front of the closet must have two unobstructed air openings (B, C) for a combined minimum total area of 72 in2 (465 cm2) with a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.6 cm) at the top (A) and bottom (D).
• External exhaust elbow requires additional space (L).

NOTE

Stacking (MODEL NO: SKK-7A)

Samsung’s Washer and Dryer can be stacked to maximize usable space.

The dryer legs need to be removed to stack the Washer and Dryer. You can purchase an optional stacking kit from your Samsung retailer.

Ducting requirements

Ducting requirements

NOTE

Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or galvanized steel duct.

If you integrate the dryer’s vent system with an existing exhaust system:

• Make sure the exhaust system meets all applicable local, state, and national regulations.
• Verify you are not using flexible plastic duct.
• Make sure to check for and remove all lint buildup from inside the existing ducts.
• Confirm the duct is not kinked or crushed.
• Make sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

Manometer measurements

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column or be less than 0. Note that these values are measured with the dryer running with a manometer presented to the exhaust duct that connects to the dryer. The dryer tumbler must be empty and lint filter clean.

Exhausting requirements

The dryer must 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.

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1 Install the exhaust system

1. Select a location and move the dryer to the site. For easy access, we recommend you install the dryer in the same location as your washer.
2. To change the door direction, see “Door reversal”.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.

NOTE

The Vent Blockage Test must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

Running the vent blockage test

1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)
2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time and Dry level buttons for 3 seconds. “InS” appears in the dryer’s display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results is displayed and the dryer sounds a tone.

If status of the duct system is normal, “0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone.

If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg” appears and the dryer sounds an alarm tone.

If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For information about the code, see Information codes section.

• To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your dryer.
• During the test, if “dc” appears in the display, make sure the door is closed. If C1” is displayed, see if there is laundry inside drum. If there is, stop the test and remove it. Then, start the test again.
• The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn the result off immediately by pressing the POWER button.

NOTE

• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns.

The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.

• The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be extended.
• If the indicator turns on for the first time and is solid (not blinking), check and clean the lint filter and/or duct.
• If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is installed or connected with some restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure.
• However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.

Cleaning

Feature panel

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly on the display of the dryer.
• Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the feature panel.
• When using liquid cleaning agents, apply them to the cleaning cloth. Do not apply them directly to the dryer. Wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

Tumbler

• Remove any stains from the tumbler with an all-purpose cleaner.
• Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stains or cleaning substances. Stains may still be visible, but will not affect subsequent loads.

Stainless steel tumbler

• To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces.
• Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Dryer exterior

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Protect the surface from sharp objects.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent container on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
• The dryer has a high-gloss finish on the entire surface. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.

Exhaust system

• Check and clean the exhaust system on a yearly or regular basis to maintain optimum performance.
• The external exhaust hood must be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper air flow.

Troubleshooting

1. Does not run.
   1. Make sure the door is latched shut.
   2. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
   3. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
   4. Press or tap START/PAUSE again if the door was opened during a cycle.
   5. Clean the lint filter.
2. Does not heat.
   1. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
   2. Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again.
   3. For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
   4. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
   5. The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
3. Does not dry.
   1. Check all of the above, plus...
   2. Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
   3. Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
   4. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
   5. Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
   6. Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
   7. Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
   8. Make sure that your washer is draining properly and extracting adequate water from the load.
   9. The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer.
   10. The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
   11. Clean the lint filter.
4. Is noisy.
   1. Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
   2. It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
   3. Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
   4. It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.
5. Dries unevenly.
   1. 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.
   2. 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.
   3. For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
6. Has odors.
   1. 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.
   2. When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
   3. Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.
7. Lint on clothes.
   1. Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
   2. 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).
   3. Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
   4. Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
   5. Remove lint inside the drum before drying a load.
8. Items still wrinkled after Wrinkle Prevent Wrinkle Away, Wrinkle Release).
   1. Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
   2. Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
   3. Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.
9. Water drips from the nozzle when the Steam cycles starts.
   1. This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
10. Sprayed water is not visible during Steam cycles.
    1. Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.
11. Extended time.
    1. 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.
