Installation

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation of the dryer and prevent accidents when doing laundry.

Installation requirements

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 regarding the electrical or grounding requirements, please contactSamsung 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 adapter 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.

Alcove installation

Minimum clearance for stable operation:

Sides: 25 mm, Top: 25 mm, Rear: 50 mm, Front: 490 mm

If installing the dryer with a washing machine, the front of the alcove or closet must have an unobstructed air opening of at least 550 mm

Step-by-step installation

STEP 1 Select a location

Location requirements:

Select a level, 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 35 °C.
Do not install the dryer where gas may leak.
Do not block the cooling grill’s air inlet located at the dryer front.

STEP 2 Adjust the levelling feet

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, turn the levelling feet (B) left or right to adjust the height.
Once the dryer is level, make sure the dryer stands firmly on the floor.
Plug in the dryer.

NOTE

To set the dryer to the same height as the washing machine, turn the levelling feet to the right until it fully retracts (C). Then, turn the levelling feet to the left to extend (D) it until the dryer and the washing machine are the same height.
Extend the levelling feet only as much as necessary. Extending the levelling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

STEP 3 Drain hose

We strongly recommend connecting the drain hose to your drainage system.
If the drain hose connected on the dryer is too short to reach the drainage system, use the provided accessory hose (long drain hose).
Use the built-in water tank only if you cannot connect the drain hose to a drainage system.

NOTE

As a factory default, this dryer is set to use the builtin water tank to drain condensed water.

1. Remove the drain hose from hole (A), and insert it into part (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 adapter directly to the drain pipe of the wash basin

STEP 4 Power on

Plug the power cord into a wall socket protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Then, tap to turn on the dryer.

Operations

Cycle overview

Rack Dry (applicable models only)

Set the drying time up to 150 minutes according to the moisture and weight of the items to dry. When drying laundry using the drying rack, the Time Dry cycle is recommended.

1. Position the drying rack in the drum, inserting the front lips of the rack into the holes of the door diaphram

2. Place items on the rack, leaving enough space where air can circulate. For clothing items, fold and place flat on the rack. For shoes, place shoes with their soles facing down.

3. Tap and hold .

4. Close the door and tap . Turn the Navigation dial to select Time Dry, and then tap repeatedly to select the drying time.

Maintenance

Lint filter

Clean the lint filter after each load.

1. Open the door and pull the lint filter upward to remove.

2. Open the outer filter and remove the inner filter (A).

3. Unfold both the inner filter and the outer filter.

4. Remove the lint from both filters, and then clean the filters with the cleaning brush.

NOTE To clean the filters thoroughly, clean the filters in running water, and then dry them completely.

5. Put the inner filter into the outer filter, and then reinsert the lint filter into the original position.

CAUTION

Clean the lint filter after each load. Otherwise, the drying performance may decrease.
Do not operate the dryer without the inner filter inside the outer filter.
Using the dryer with a wet lint filter may cause mold, bad odors, or a decrease in drying performance.

Water tank

To avoid leaks, empty the water tank after every load.

1. Using both hands, pull the water tank (A) forward to remove.

2. Empty the water through the drain hole (B) and place the water tank back into place.

NOTE If you empty the water tank and tap and hold , the corresponding indicator turns off

Heat exchanger

Clean the heat exchanger at least once a month. (or When the Buzzer rings and the heat exchanger indicator lights up on the display.)

1. Gently press the top part of the outer cover (A) to open.

2. Unlock the fixers (B)

3. Remove the inner cover (C)

4. Clean the heat exchanger with the provided cleaning brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Take care not to bend or damage the heat exchanger fins when cleaning. This may lead to a decrease in drying performance.

CAUTION

To avoid physical injury and burns, do not touch or clean the heat exchanger with bare hands.
Do not use water to clean the heat exchanger.

5. Clean the inner cover with a smooth, damp cloth

6. Reinsert the inner cover to its original position, and then lock the fixers.

7. Close the outer cover.

NOTE After cleaning, make sure the fixers are locked
