WARNING - 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
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.
• Items containing foam rubber (which may be labeled latex foam)
or similarly textured rubberlike materials must not be dried on
a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain
circumstances, ignite spontaneously.
WARNING - Fire or explosion hazard
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious
injury, death or property damage.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
near this or any other appliance.

• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
• Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s 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 significant 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 fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these
kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire 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.

Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the “Grounding” section. 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. This cord is sold separately.
Risk of Electric Shock
WARNING
• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be
supported at the dryer cabinet by 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 a 4 wire receptacle, 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.
NOTE
All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a

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 final checklist in Step 7
below.
STEP 7 Final Check
When installation is complete, confirm 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 flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
• 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 confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, run the Vent Blockage Test function to check if the duct system is properly
installed. 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 function must run when the dryer is cool. 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. Tap to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously tap and hold Options for 3 seconds.
3. Turn the Navigation dial to select Vent Blockage Test, and then tap OK. Vent Blockage Test starts
immediately.
- The test takes about 2 minutes and "Testing..." is displayed during the test.
CAUTION
Do not open the door during the test.
NOTE
If you have started other procedures before running Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent
Blockage Test mode.
4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If
status of the duct system is normal, an alarm triggers with the "No problems detected" message. If the
duct system cannot exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. For
description about the code, see the “Installation check codes” section on page 34.
If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For description about the
code, see the “Information codes” section on page 60.
- To stop or cancel Vent Blockage Test, tap to turn off your dryer.
- The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn
the results off immediately by tapping .
NOTE
• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test
function is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first
time.
• If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting requirements”
section on page 19 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and then take proper measures to
correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper
procedures when testing the dryer.

Exhaust ducting guide
Ducting
1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping
screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.
Cleaning
Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We
recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.
WARNING
• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
• Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
• Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
• Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

Maintenance
Keep the dryer clean for best performance and to lengthen its life cycle.
WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during
servicing.
Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board and
inlet valve.
Cleaning
Control panel
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly onto the dryer display.
• Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the control 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.
Drum
• Remove any stains from the drum 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.
Powder coated drum
To clean the powder coated drum, 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 regular basis to maintain optimum performance.
• The external exhaust hood must be cleaned frequently to ensure proper air flow.
Untitled-6 56 2022-03-30 12:14:26
English
English 57
Vent sensor
The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and notifies you when it is time to clean the ductwork. Check
the following if you get the “
Check the lint filter or vent condition” message when you turn on the dryer.
NOTE
• For duct installation, see Exhaust ducting guide on page 35 and Ducting requirements on page 19.
• The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be extended.
• When you get the message check the lint filter and the ducts, and clean them if necessary.
• If the message keep appears, 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.

Troubleshooting
Checkpoints
If you encounter a problem with the dryer, first check the table below and try the suggestions.
Problem Action
Dryer does not start.
• Make sure the dryer is plugged in.
• Make sure the door is properly closed.
• Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• If you opened the door during a cycle, tap and hold again.
• Clean the filter.
• Make sure Child Lock is not activated.
The dryer does not warm
up.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again.
• For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter 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.
Items are not dried.
Check all of the above. Additionally:
• 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 filter.
Untitled-6 58 2022-03-30 12:14:26
English
English 59
Problem Action
The dryer is too loud.
• Look for coins, loose buttons, nails, and other objects and remove them
immediately.
• Check the lint filter. Remove any items stuck inside the lint filter.
• Make sure the dryer is level and standing firmly on the floor.
• The dryer may hum due to air moving through the drum and fan. This is
normal.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and
off during the drying cycle.
Items are not dried evenly.
• Seams, pockets, and other parts of clothing are harder to dry than
others. This is normal.
• Sort heavy and light items separately.
There is a smell coming
from the dryer.
• The smell of paint, varnish, cleaning agents, and other household items
could have circulated in the air and entered the dryer. If you notice such
a smell, ventilate completely before using the dryer.
• If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the ambient
temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open a window and
ventilate the area.
• Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the washing
machine or dryer for a long time.
The dryer turns off before
the items are dry.
• The load is too small. Throw in few additional items like towels and try
drying again.
The clothes have lint on
them.
• Always make sure the lint filter is clean before putting items into the
dryer. When drying items that generate a large amount of lint, you may
need to clean the lint filter in the middle of a cycle.
• Some fabrics (such as white towels) causes more lint and should be
dried separately from fabrics that lint attaches easily (such as black
linen pants).
• Check the inside of the pockets to make sure they are empty before
drying.
Items still wrinkled after
Wrinkle Prevent (Wrinkle
Away, Wrinkle Release).
• 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.
Water drips from the
nozzle when the Steam
cycles starts.
• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short
time.
Sprayed water is not
visible during Steam
cycles.
• Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.

Problem Action
Extended time.
• 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.
