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.

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

**Rack Dry (DVE(G)54R7600* 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 : DC61-03052B) 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.

Medium load : Fill the drum to about 1/2 full.
Small load : Fill the drum with 3-5 items, not more than 1/4 full.

NOTE

: factory setting, : can be selected

Cycle guide

The best way to dry items is to follow the instructions on the care label. If no drying instructions are provided, see the following table for reference.

Cycle	Description
Bedspreads & Comforters	Follow the care label instructions or dry using BEDDING. Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing. May require repositioning in the drum to ensure even drying.

Maintenance

Keep the dryer clean for best performance and to lengthen its life cycle.

Cleaning

Control panel

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly onto the dryer display.
Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the control panel.
When using liquid cleaning agents, apply them to the cleaning cloth. Do not apply them directly to the dryer. Wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

Drum

Remove any stains from the drum with an all-purpose cleaner.
Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stains or cleaning substances. Stains may be still visible but will not affect subsequent loads.

Powder coated drum

To clean the powder coated drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Dryer exterior

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
Protect the surface from sharp objects.
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent container on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
The dryer has a high-gloss finish on the entire surface. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.

Exhaust system

Check and clean the exhaust system on a regular basis to maintain optimum performance.
The external exhaust hood must be cleaned frequently to ensure proper air flow.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions.

Does not run.
- Make sure the door is latched shut.
- Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
- Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
- Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door is opened during a cycle.
- Clean the lint filter.
Does not heat.
- Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
- Some cycles do not require heating. 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.
Does not dry.
- Check all of the above, plus...
- 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.
Is noisy.
- Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
- It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
- Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
- It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.
Dries unevenly.
- Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level.
- If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
- For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
Has odors.
- Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
- When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
- Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the item again.
- Use the REFRESH cycle. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.
Lint on clothes.
- Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
- Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
- Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
- Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
- Remove lint inside the drum before drying.
Items still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLECARE, 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 STEAM CARE starts.
- This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
Sprayed water is not visible during STEAM CARE.
- 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
