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
