Safety Precautions
WHATTO DO IFYOU SMELL GAS:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not turn on the appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in your building.
Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using your dryer, follow the basic safety precautions below:
1. Read all instructions before using your appliance.
2. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. They emit vapors that could
ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a cleaning solvent or flammable
liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until all traces of these flammable liquids or
solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly flammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes,
and wax removers.
b. Items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like
materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain
circumstances, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
3. Do not allow children or pets to play on, in, or in front of the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near children and pets.
4. Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
5. Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to carry those
out.
9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by
the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Safety Precautions
10.Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
11.Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt.
12.The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service
personnel.
13.This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the power cord into a receptacle that is not
grounded adequately and in accordance with local and national codes. See installation instructions
for grounding this appliance.
14.Do not sit on top of the dryer.
NOTE: Because of continuing product improvements, Samsung reserves the right to change
specifications without notice. For complete details, see the Installation Instructions
packed with your product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning
installation.
15.Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie. coins,
knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
16.Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.
WARNING – Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas
detector.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING – Do not place items in your dryer that have been spotted or soaked with
vegetable oil or cooking oil. Even after being washed, these items may contain
significant amounts of these oils.
The residual oil can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion increases when
the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer
can warm these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this
heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing these
kinds of items may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous. Washing
these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. Always use
the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their temperature. Never remove these items from the
dryer hot or interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never
pile or stack these items when they are hot.

Installation Instructions
DUCTING REQUIREMENTS
•
•
•
Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
Do not use a smaller duct.
Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation.
Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
•
If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible
duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
•
•
•
•
Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANYWALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF A
BUILDING, GASVENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY.
THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BYTHE DRYER.
•
•
•
•
Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect
dryer operation.
Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation,
and may collect lint.
The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back
drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood
and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
•
•
Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a
house or porch.
•
•
If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope
slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord
before cleaning.
•
•
Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry,
then check ducting for obstructions.

CLEANTHE LINT FILTER
•
•
•
After each load.
To shorten drying time.
To operate more energy efficiently.
NOTE: Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.
LOADTHE DRYER PROPERLY
•
Place only one washload in your dryer at a time.
•
Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight
fabrics being dry while heavy fabrics remaining damp at the end of a drying cycle.
•
•
Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles need drying.
This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency.
Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of
some fabrics.
GETTING STARTED
1. Load your dryer loosely – DO NOT overload.
2. Close the door.
3. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages B-2, B-3).
4. Press the Cycle Selector dial.
5. The dryer indicator light will illuminate.
6. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.
The time may fluctuate to better indicate drying time remaining in the cycle.
NOTES:
•
•
•
When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and“End”will appear in the display.
Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer.
The Drying, Cooling, andWrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions
of the cycle.

Tumbler
Remove any stains such as crayon, ink, or fabric dye (from new items such as towels or jeans) with an
all-purpose cleaner.
Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance.
Once these steps are done, stains may still be visible, but should not transfer to subsequent loads.
