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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

English

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.

Safety information

• 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 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.
• 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.

- Since january 1, 1996, the national electric code requires that new wiring (not existing) utilize a 4-wire connection to this dryer.

English30

STEP 4 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

NOTE

- To set the dryer to the same height as your washer, fully retract (A) the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.

- 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.

Installation

STEP 5 Power on (for gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer's installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 7 below.

STEP 6 Final Check

When installation is complete, confirm that:

• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
• The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
• You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
• The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.

NOTE

The Vent Blockage Test must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

English32

Running the vent blockage test

1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)
2. Press the Power button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time ^ and Dryness buttons for 3 seconds. "InS" appears in the dryer's display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
3. Press the Start/Pause (Hold to Start) button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.

4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, "0" appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone. If the duct system cannot exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. For description about the code, see the "Installation check codes" section on page 34. If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For description about the code, see the "Information codes" section on page 55.

5. To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the Power button to turn off your dryer.

6. The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn the results off immediately by pressing the Power button.

NOTE

• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.
• If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked), refer to the "Ducting requirements" section on page 20 and the "Exhaust ducting guide" section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.
• Even if the test result is normal ("0"), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting

1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.
3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

WARNING

• To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
- Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer's performance.
- Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
- Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

Before you start

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer.

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 action, 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

Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board and inlet valve.

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 still be 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.

Problem Action
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 was opened during a cycle.Clean the lint filter.
Does not heat.	Check your home's circuit breakers or fuses.Some cycles do not require heat. 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.

English52

Problem Action
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 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 a load.
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.
Water drips from the nozzle when the Steam cycles starts.	This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Troubleshooting

Problem Action
Sprayed water is not visible during Steam cycles.	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.

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