Before you start

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 performance, 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.

1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Open the door and pull out the lint filter (A) from inside the drum.
3. Remove the lint, and then clean the lint filter.
4. Reinsert the lint filter, and then close the door.

CAUTION

To remove the rack, pull the rack straight up, and then take it out of the drum. Remove the drying rack from its packaging and store the rack for later use.

If a drying rack is not provided, you can purchase it at a local Samsung service center. (Part Code : DC93-00374H)

To use the drying rack, follow these steps:

1. Insert the drying rack (A) inside the tumbler with the filter handle to the front.
2. Insert the rear legs of the drying rack into the recessed areas of the rear wall, and then press down the middle of the drying rack to secure it in place.
