Installation
This dryer must be installed by a qualified technician. The installer is responsible for connecting the dryer to the main power while observing the relevant safety regulations of your area.
What’s included
Make sure all the parts are included in the product package. If you have a problem with the dryer or the parts, contact a local Samsung customer center or the retailer.
Before you start
Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.
Initial setup
• When you turn on your dryer for the first time, the screen shows the initial setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it.
• If you complete the initial setup and operate a cycle for more than a minute, the initial setup will not appear again.
• The initial setup includes language selection and a brief tutorial.
• When tapping a button, tap exactly over the text.
• Operating the washing machine and dryer at the same time may result in a loss of power depending on where they are installed and your electrical power status.
Sort and load
• Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
• Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
• 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.
• Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.
• Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
• Avoid drying unwashed items.
• Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
Functional prerequisite
Lint filter
To prevent a risk of fire, make sure to clean the lint filter before or after every load.

- Close the lint filter, reinsert the lint filter into the dryer, and then close the dryer door.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.

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 • 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. |
| 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. |
| 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.
