Tumble Dryer User manual

Installation

This dryer must be installed by a qualified installer. If service is required due to poor or faulty installation, it is considered the owner’s responsibility and may void the warranty. Keep these instructions for future reference.

WARNING

• Do not plug the power cord into a wall outlet before the dryer is completely installed.
• Have two or more persons help move the dryer.
• Do not let children or pets play in, on, or around the dryer. Proper supervision is necessary at all times.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children.
• Do not replace a damaged power cord or power plug yourself. Have Samsung or a qualified service technician replace a damaged power cord or power plug.
• Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the dryer. For any repairs, contact the nearest Samsung service centre.
• Remove the door/lids from all discarded appliances to avoid children from suffocating.
• If the dryer generates a strange noise, burning smells, or smoke, unplug the power plug immediately and contact the nearest Samsung service centre.
• Do not unplug the dryer while it is operating.
• Do not place flammable objects near the dryer

WARNING

Remove the door from all discarded appliances to prevent a child from suffocating.

Location

Select a level, the well-constructed surface that will withstand vibrations. Select a location where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible.

WARNING

• Install the dryer indoors only.
• Do not install the dryer in areas exposed to the weather.
• Do not install the dryer where the temperature may fall below 5 °C or rise above
• Do not install the dryer where gas may leak.
• Do not block the cooling grill’s air inlet located at the dryer front.

Alcove or closet installations

For alcove or closet installation, the dryer requires the following minimum clearances:

If installing the dryer with a washer, the front of the alcove or closet must have an unobstructed air opening of at least 490 mm.

Electrical and grounding requirements

• The dryer requires an AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz electrical supply.
• The dryer must be properly grounded. If the dryer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. The dryer comes with a power cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• If you have any questions regardinga the electrical or grounding requirements, please contact Samsung or a qualified electrician.

WARNING

• Plug into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not use a damaged power plug, cord, or loose or damaged wall outlet.
• Do not use an adaptor or an extension cord.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in electric shock. If you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.
• Do not modify the power plug, power cord, or power outlet in any way.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Levelling

Before you install the dryer, make sure you have read Installation requirements on page 20. Please note that the following instructions are for installation without using a drain hose. For instructions for using a drain hose, see the next section, Drain hose (if necessary). For convenience, consider installing the dryer next to your washer.

	Gently slide the dryer into the desired location. Use a level (A) and check the levelness of the dryer from side to side and front to back. If the dryer is not level, adjust the levelling leg (B). Turning the leg counter-clockwise retracts the leg. Turning the leg clockwise extends the leg. Once the dryer is level, make sure the dryer stands firmly on the floor. Plug in the dryer.
	NOTE The dryer can be levelled using either or both of the front and rear legs of the dryer. To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract (C) the levelling legs by turning them counter clockwise, then loosen (D) the legs by turning them clockwise. Extend the levelling leg only as much as necessary. Extending the levelling leg more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

Drain hose (if necessary)

	The dryer comes with a built-in water tank. However, if you do not want to use the water tank, you may install the drain hose. The provided accessory hose (long drain hose) can be used as an extension to the drain hose.
	1. Remove the drain hose from hole (A), and insert it into hole (B).
	2. Insert one end of the accessory hose (long drain hose) into hole (A). 3. Insert the other end (outlet) of the accessory hose to the drainage system in one of the following ways:

Over a wash basin:

1. Make sure to place the end of the accessory hose lower than 90 cm (*) from the bottom of dryer. 2. To bend some point of the accessory hose, use the supplied plastic hose guide (B) and secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string. Assemble the drain hose (A) and the hose guide (B) and fix them with the cable-tie (C). 3. You can drain the condensed water by connecting the accessory hose (long drain hose) to the drain-outlet directly

CAUTION

• Do not extend the drain hose. Water may leak from the connected area. Use a long drain hose.

By using the drain pipe of the wash basin:

	1. Assemble the hose connector (A), and attach it to the end of the accessory hose as shown. CAUTION To prevent water leak, make sure to connect the hose and the connector firmly.
	2. Connect the hose adaptor directly to the drain pipe of the wash basin.

	4. Remove the glass holder, and then rotate the door cover by 180 degrees.
	5. Insert the glass holder into the new position of the door cover. Make sure the door hinge is in the same position as in the figure.
	6. Tighten the upper 3 screws and the lower 3 screws on the glass holder. NOTE The screw shapes differ by dimension. Make sure you tighten the correct screw.
	7. Insert the door sealing in the correct position.
	8. Remove the 2 screws that remain after removing the door hinge.
	9. Remove the 4 screws on the door lock. Remove the door lock, and then reinsert it to the opposite side.

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.
• 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

• Do not use a damaged or broken lint filter. This may reduce performance and/or cause fire.

Rack Dry (applicable models only)

Some models come with a drying rack which is inserted into the drum at the factory.

If your model came with a drying rack, remove the rack from the drum before you use the dryer for the first time. 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 : DC61-02705A)

To use the drying rack, follow these steps: Insert the drying rack (A) inside the tumbler with the filter handle to the front. 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. Put items to dry on the rack. Make sure to leave space between the items for air flow. Press Rack Dry, and then select the drying time. When the items are dry, remove the them from the dryer, and then remove the drying rack.
