WARNING - Risk of Fire

•

Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualiﬁed installer.

Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

Do not install a clothes dryer with ﬂexible plastic venting materials. If ﬂexible metal (foil type) duct

is installed, it must be of a speciﬁc type identiﬁed by the appliance manufacturer as suitable for

use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are known to collapse, be easily crushed, and

trap lint. These conditions will obstruct clothes dryer airﬂow and increase the risk of ﬁre.

•

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION:

WARNING

•

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

•

Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured

rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain

circumstances, produce ﬁre by spontaneous combustion.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

WARNING

•

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.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS:

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California

to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such

substances.

This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the

substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

Gas appliances may cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed including

benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot; as a result of possible incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further

by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

CAUTION

1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

2. 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.

3. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

4. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. 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.

6. Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous combustion

increases when 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.

7. 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.

8. Take care that children’s ﬁngers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in

injury.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

Make sure you have everything necessary for the proper installation

•

A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. Refer to the “Electrical requirements” section on

page 17.

•

A POWER CORD electric dryer (except for Canada).

GAS LINES (if a gas dryer) must meet national and local codes.

The EXHAUST SYSTEM must be made of rigid metal or ﬂexible stiﬀ-walled metal exhaust ducting.

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 accumulation of lint.

Lint should be removed 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. A 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 the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

Plastic ﬂexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airﬂow, extend drying times, and aﬀect the

dryer operation.

•

Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, aﬀect machine operations, and

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 the exhaust duct 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.

That a ﬂexible plastic duct is not used.

To inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

The duct is not dented or crushed.

The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.

This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct

connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint

ﬁlter clean.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

If your dryer requires replacement parts or accessories, contact the dealer where you purchased your dryer

or the SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).

INSTALLATION

For the proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualiﬁed installer.

To install

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the

Level

installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side, to allow access to the gas, electrical, and exhaust

connections. Place two of the carton cushion-tops on the

ﬂoor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-

tops.

2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.

3. To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying

performance, it must be level. To minimize vibrations, noise,

and unwanted movement, the ﬂoor must be a perfectly level,

solid surface.

To set the dryer to the same height as the washer,

fully retract the leveling feet by turning them

counterclockwise, then loosen the legs by turning them

clockwise.

Leveling feet

Retract fully

Then loosen

Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to

level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than

necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

4. Review the “Exhausting” section on page 15 before installing the exhaust system. Install the

ductwork from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must

point away from your dryer.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting. These joints should be

taped.

Never use plastic ﬂexible exhaust material.

Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system onto your dryer before putting

it in place.

Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at

the back of the unit in dryer cabinet.

Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.

Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.

6. Review the “Gas requirements” section on page 16. Remove the pipe thread protective

cap. Apply a pipe joint compound or about 1 1/2 wraps of Teﬂon tape over all threaded

connections.

The pipe joint compound must be resistant to the actions of any liqueﬁed petroleum

gas.

Connect the gas supply to your dryer. An additional ﬁtting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9

cm) female thread end of a ﬂexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the

dryer.

Securely tighten the gas line ﬁtting over the threads.

Turn on the gas supply.
