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.

• Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.

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

instructions.

• Save these instructions.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

• 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.

• Items containing foam rubber (which may be labeled latex foam)

or similarly textured rubberlike materials must not be dried on

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

circumstances, ignite spontaneously.

WARNING - Fire or explosion hazard

• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could result in serious

injury, death or property damage.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

near this or any other appliance.

• Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,

service agency, or the gas supplier.

• Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

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

• 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.

• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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.

• 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.

could have circulated in the air and entered the dryer. If you notice such

a smell, ventilate completely before using the dryer.

• If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the ambient

temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open a window and

ventilate the area.

• Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the washing

machine or dryer for a long time.

The dryer turns off before

the items are dry.

• The load is too small. Throw in few additional items like towels and try

drying again.

The clothes have lint on

them.

• Always make sure the lint filter is clean before putting items into the

dryer. When drying items that generate a large amount of lint, you may

need to clean the lint filter in the middle of a cycle.

• Some fabrics (such as white towels) causes more lint and should be

dried separately from fabrics that lint attaches easily (such as black

linen pants).

• Check the inside of the pockets to make sure they are empty before

drying.

Items still wrinkled after

Wrinkle Prevent (Wrinkle

Away, 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.

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.

The ambient temperature

around the dryer rises or

there is a damp, soggy

smell.

• Heat pump dryers circulate ambient air inside and outside the dryer

during the drying process to cool the system. Using the dryer in a poorly

ventilated area may, depending on the operating environment, raise the

ambient humidity level and/or cause a damp, soggy smell to develop.

Ensure proper ventilation when using the dryer.

Water is not draining.

• Check the draining hose for twists and kinks.

Straighten out the hose if it is twisted or kinked and securely connect it

to the drain on the floor.

• Check to see if the draining hose is frozen.

If the hose is frozen, submerge it in warm water to allow the water inside

the hose to melt and drain out. Reconnect the hose and check for proper

draining.

If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.
