01 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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:

• 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:

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

01 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 purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

GAS APPLIANCES :

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

reproductive toxicity.

Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances, including but

not limited to, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, substances resulting from the

incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

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 15.

• 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.

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 15-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.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

When 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 a 4-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.

In Canada, you may not convert a dryer to 208 volts.

02 INSTALLING YOUR DRYER

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 qualiﬁ ed installer.

To install

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the

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

ﬂ oor. 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 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.

Level

Leveling feet

4. Review the “Exhausting” section on page 13 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.

Installing your dryer

5. Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 15.

BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the “Grounding”

section on page 15.

U.S. MODELS:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - All U.S. models are produced 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 the 4-wire

system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at

the terminal block. Refer to the following instructions for 3 and 4-WIRE SYSTEM

CONNECTIONS.

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.

6. Review the “Gas requirements” section on page 14. Remove the pipe thread protective

cap. Apply a pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teﬂ on tape over all threaded

connections.

The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions of any liqueﬁ ed petroleum

gas.

Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional ﬁ tting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9

cm) female thread end of a ﬂ exible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the

dryer.

Securely tighten the gas line ﬁ tting over the threads.

Turn on the gas supply.

Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution.

If bubbles appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open ﬂ ame to

check for gas leaks.

Frame Front

LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY

• Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.

• Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry di erently, which may result in lightweight fabrics

being dry while heavy fabrics remain damp at the end of a drying cycle.

• Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles of clothing need drying.

This improves the tumbling action and drying e ciency.

• Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some

fabrics.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.

2. Close the door.

3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load.

4. Press the Start/Pause button.

5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.

6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may ﬂ uctuate as humidity levels ﬂ uctuate in the dryer.

• When the cycle is complete, “End” will appear in the display.

• Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.

• The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the

cycle.

Do not place anything on top of your dryer while it is running.

Care and cleaning

CONTROL PANEL

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.

Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.

The control panel ﬁ nish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products.

Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

TUMBLER

Remove any stains caused by crayon, ink, or fabric dye (from new items such as towels or jeans) with an

all-purpose cleaner.

Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stain or cleaning substance.

Once these steps are followed, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.

STAINLESS STEEL TUMBLER

To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless

steel surfaces.

Remove the 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 box on the dryer. Keep them on the purchased

pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.

Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss ﬁ nish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.

Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum performance.

The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

05 SPECIAL LAUNDRY TIPS

Special laundry tips

SPECIAL LAUNDRY TIPS

Please follow the care label or manufacturer’s instructions for drying special items. If care label instructions

are not available, use the following information as a guide.

Bedspreads & Comforters • Follow the care label instructions or dry on the Bedding Plus.

• Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.

• May require repositioning to ensure even drying.

Blankets • Use Normal cycle and dry only one blanket at a time for best

tumbling action.

• Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.

Curtains & Draperies • Use the Perm Press cycle and Low or Extra Low temperature to help

minimize wrinkling.

• Dry these in small loads for best results and remove as soon as

possible.

Cloth Diapers • Use the Normal cycle and the High temperature settings for soft,ﬂ u y

diapers.

Down–ﬁ lled Items (jackets,

sleeping bags, comforters,

etc.)

• Use the Normal cycle and the Low or Extra Low temperature setting.

• Adding a couple of dry towels shortens drying time and absorbs

moisture.

Foam Rubber (rug backs,

stu ed toys, shoulder pads,

etc.)

• DO NOT dry on a heat setting. Use the Air Flu cycle (no heat).

• WARNING – Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or be a

ﬁ re hazard.

Pillows • Use the Normal cycle.

• Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the

tumbling action and to ﬂ u the item.

• DO NOT dry kapok or foam pillows in dryer. Use the Air Flu cycle.

Plastics (shower curtains,

outdoor furniture covers,

etc.)

• Use the Air Flu cycle or the Time Dry cycle and the Low or Extra

Low temperature settings depending on the care label instructions.

THINGS TO AVOID PUTTING IN THE DRYER:

• Fiberglass items (curtains, draperies, etc.).

Troubleshooting

CHECK THESE POINTS IF YOUR DRYER…

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Doesn’t run. • Make sure the door is latched shut.

• Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.

• Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

• Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the

cycle.

Doesn’t heat. • Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.

• Select a heat setting other than Air Flu .

• On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.

• Clean the lint ﬁ lter and exhaust duct.

• Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.

Doesn’t dry. • Check all of the above, plus...

• Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close

freely.

• Check 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.

• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.

• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require

repositioning to ensure even drying.

• Check that the dryer is draining properly to extract adequate water

from the load.

• Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.

Is noisy. • 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 o during the drying cycle.

• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation

instruction.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving

through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

Dries unevenly. • 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. Select the Very Dry setting if desired.

• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight 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.

Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.

Has an odor. • Household odors from painting, varnishing, 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, ventilate the room completely

before using the dryer.

06 TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Shuts o before load is dry • Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart

the cycle.

• Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.

Lint on clothes • Make sure the lint ﬁ lter is cleaned before every load. With some loads

that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the

ﬁ lter during the cycle.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton

towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint

trappers (for example, a pair of lack linen pants)

• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying

• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.

Garments still wrinkled after

Wrinkle-Care

• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.

• Load fewer garments.Load similar-type garments.

Odors remain in clothing

after Refresh.

• Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.

Water drips from nozzle

when Steam-Care starts

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short

time.

Sprayed water is not visible

during Steam-Care

• Sprayed water is di cult to see when the door is closed
