following:
WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, keep
ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
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 ignite 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,
stacking 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 not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic 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 the 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 and rubber-coated 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).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, Kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Drying guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
• Wash and dry dark-colored items separately from light-colored items.
• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
• Avoid drying unwashed items
• Do not dry wet items that have not been fully spin-dried after washing. This could cause an odor inside
the dryer or cause the dryer to malfunction.
• Using a laundry net is recommended for baby socks and other small, light items.
STEP 2 Empty pockets and turn them inside out
• Turn dark-colored clothes inside out before drying them. This will prevent fabric damage due to friction
during the drying process and protect internal parts of the dryer from discoloration and damage.
• Turn the items with buttons or embroideries inside out before drying them.
CAUTION
• Empty the pockets. Metallic objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other
laundry items as well as the drum.
• Remove any metallic objects attached to items, pull up zippers, and latch hooks before drying. Metallic
objects attached to items may damage other items as well as the drum.
STEP 3 Check the lint filter
Ensure that the lint filter is installed correctly before putting items in the dryer. The dryer does not work
without the lint filter.
• Always clean the lint filter before drying. For more information on filter cleaning, see the “Lint filter”
section on page 44
Untitled-1 26 8/25/2020 2:17:42 PM
English
English 27
STEP 4 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the dryer. Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and
wrinkling.
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
• For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. Tangled items may degrade the
drying efficiency or cause the door to open.
CAUTION
Add or remove items into or from the dryer with the lint filter installed. If the filter is not in place, small
items can fall into the filter slot and cause the dryer to malfunction.
STEP 5 After finishing the drying
• Empty the water tank to prevent leaks. For more information on emptying the water tank, see the
“Emptying the water tank” section on page 43
• If the “Clean heat exchanger” message appears on the display, refer to the “Heat exchanger” section on
page 46 and clean the heat exchanger.
• Keep the dryer door and the heat exchanger cover open after finishing the drying to keep the inside of
the dryer more hygienic.

hard to clean, spray some water on the heat
exchanger and clean using a brush.
4. Clean the inner cover with a smooth, damp cloth.
- There may be moisture and/or foreign
substances around the inner cover.
5. Reinsert the inner cover to its original position, and
then lock the fixers.

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 the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Check the lint filter and the heat exchanger. Clean them if necessary.
• The dryer may be in the cooling down process of the cycle.
Items are not dried.
Check all of the above. Additionally:
• Do not overload the dryer. If the dryer is overloaded, it could take longer
for items to dry.
• Dry heavy fabrics separately from light fabrics.
• The item(s) are too small and may not getting enough spinning inside the
drum.
• Clean the filter.
• Clean the heat exchanger.
• If a drain hose is connected, make sure water is draining properly.
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.
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.

Problem Action
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.
The ambient temperature
around the dryer rises or
there is a damp, soggy
smell.
• Heat pump dryers circulate ambient air inside and outside the dryer
during the drying process to cool the system. Using the dryer in a poorly
ventilated area may, depending on the operating environment, raise the
ambient humidity level and/or cause a damp, soggy smell to develop.
Ensure proper ventilation when using the dryer.
Water is not draining.
• Check the draining hose for twists and kinks.
Straighten out the hose if it is twisted or kinked and securely connect it
to the drain on the floor.
• Check to see if the draining hose is frozen.
If the hose is frozen, submerge it in warm water to allow the water inside
the hose to melt and drain out. Reconnect the hose and check for proper
draining.
If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.
