SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
safety instructions
Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.
Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified 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 airflow and increase the risk of fire.
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.
WARNING - Risk of Fire
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 (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-
like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,
under certain circumstances, produce fire 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 fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the
gas supplier.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to
carry those out.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer
use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.
The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service
personnel.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle
that is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See
installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.
Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
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.

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 lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct
with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
Never install any type of flexible 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 flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer
operation.
Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and
may 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 exhaust ductwork 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.
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before
cleaning.
Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then
check ducting for obstructions.
Do not exhaust dryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or
any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make
sure:
The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
The duct is not kinked or crushed.
The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be
less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust
duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be
empty and the lint filter clean.
IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept
for future reference.
Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child 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 rear exhaust. To exhaust out the
bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s
important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow
obstruction.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air
for combustion and 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 is to be kept clear of combustible materials, casoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
If your dryer requires replacement parts or accessories, contact the dealer from whom you purchased your
dryer or the SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
INSTALLATION
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
To install:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider
installing the dryer and washer side-by-side, to allow access to gas,
electrical, and exhaust connections.
Lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its
side so it will lay across both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must
be level. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,the
floor 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 leg
by turning them clockwise
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.

4. Review the Exhausting section 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 ducting. These joints should be taped.
Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
Tip for tight installations: install a section of exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place.
Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover ventilation slots at the back of the
unit in dryer cabinet.
5. Review Electrical Requirements section.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
U.S. MODELS:
IMPORTANT – 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” (1cm) deep well socket.

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS
Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air
easily.
2. Use 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at
the dryer.
Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.
4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.
Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.
Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.
Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:
1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
3. Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many
elbows.
4. Allowing crushed or clogged ducts and vent.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Cycle Selector
To select a cycle, rotate the Cycle Selector dial to the desired cycle.
The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. The Normal, Heavy Duty,
Towels, Perm Press and Delicates cycles are Sensor Dry cycles.
Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off
when the selected dryness level (very dry to damp dry) is reached.
Eco Normal – This cycle reduces energy usage by 10% to 15% compared to
Normal Dry depending on load. It adjusts cycle time and temperature for better
efficiency with Samsung smart control technology.
Normal – Use this cycle to dry loads such as cotton, underwear, and linen.
Heavy Duty – Use this cycle to get high heat for heavy fabrics such as jeans,
corduroys, or work clothes.
Perm Press – Dry wrinkle-free cottons, synthetic fabrics, knits, and permanent
press fabrics automatically.
Bedding – For bulky items such as blankets, sheets and comforters.
Delicates – The Delicates cycle is designed to dry heat-sensitive items at a low
drying temperature.
Wool
For machine washable and tumble dryable wool only.
Load should be under 3 pounds. The Wool cycle of this machine
has been approved by Woolmark company for Total-Easy-Care
Wool products, M0913(DV520*E*) and M1007(DV520*G*).
Sanitize – This course allows you to sanitize garments by permeating high
temperature heat deep into the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this course to
keep your bedding and curtains clean through sanitization.
Time Dry – Time Dry allows you to select the desired cycle time in minutes.
Turn the Cycle Selector dial to Time Dry, then press the Adjust Time up arrow to
set the drying time. Press the arrow repeatedly to scroll through the time settings.
Quick Dry - Provides a 30 minutes drying cycle.
Air Fluff – The Air Fluff cycle tumbles the load in room temperature air.
Refresh – This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from
loads consisting of one to four dry items. In this cycle a small amount of water is
sprayed into the dryer drum after several minutes of tumbling with heat.
Wrinkle Away
– Use this cycle to reduce wrinkles from dry clothes that have
been left in closet for a while. It provides advanced wrinkle release performance
by optimized steam care. Up to 3 items can be used.
Overloading the dryer may not yield the same results.

CLEAN THE LINT FILTER
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOAD THE DRYER PROPERLY
Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, 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 efficiency.
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 (see pages 20, 21).
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 fluctuate to better indicate drying time remaining in the cycle.
When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display.

CONTROL PANEL
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
The control panel finish 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 such as 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 excess 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 finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.

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 Fluff.
On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
Clean the lint filter 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 washer 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 off 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.

troubleshooting _33
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Shuts off 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 filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads
that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the
filter 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
