safety instructions

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service

personnel.

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.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

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.

Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

WARNING

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

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.

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.

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.

Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF

A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY.

THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

•

Do not use plastic flexible duct. 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.

installing your dryer

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make

sure:

•

The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

That a flexible plastic duct is not used.

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

The duct is not kinked 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.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD

SUFFOCATING.

WARNING

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough

space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the

bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s

important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow

obstruction.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air

for combustion and proper dryer operation.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO

WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,

GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE

LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.

INSTALLATION - GENERAL PROCEDURE

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

Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.

To install the dryer, follow these steps:

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.

To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it

lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright.

Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.

2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page . When done, return to

Step 3 below.

3. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work 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 ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic

flexible exhaust material.

A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to 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 dryer cabinet.

4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.

5. Review the Gas Requirements section, then follow the lettered steps below.

a. Remove the pipe thread protective cap.

b. Apply 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 action of any liquefied petroleum gas.

c. 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.

d. Securely tighten the gas line fitting over the threads.

e. Turn on the gas supply. Check all gas connections for leaks using a soap solution. If bubbles

appear, tighten the connections and recheck. DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

f. Go to Step 6 on the next page

4. Tighten the strain relief screws.

5. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your Dryer’s rear panel slot.

Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.

If converting from a 4-wire electrical system to a 3-wire, you must connect the ground strap

to the terminal block support to ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor.

WARNING

We recommend using Ring terminals. If you use Strap terminals, please ensure you install

them perfectly.

8. Four Wire System instructions:

A. External ground connector

B. Green or bare copper wire of power cord

C. ¾” (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

D. Center silver-colored terminal block screw

E. Neutral Grounding wire (green/yellow)

F. Neutral wire (white or center wire)

1. Remove the External ground connector screw.

2. Connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the

power cord to the external ground connector screw. If

you want to connect B (Green or bare copper wire of

power cord) to the Neutral Post without assembling with A

(cabinet ground), call the service technician.

3. Loosen or remove the center terminal block screw.

4. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cord and the appliance ground

wire (green with yellow stripes) under the central screw of the terminal block.

5. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.

U.S. MODELS:

Risk of Electric Shock:

WARNING

All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION. The dryer frame is grounded to the

neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled

construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If the 4-wire system is

used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. Refer to the following

instructions for 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.

Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the

cabinet near the terminal block.

A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8”

(1cm) deep well socket.

Level

9. Connect the Water Inlet Hose. For instructions, go to Connecting the Inlet Hose

on page

10. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To

level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below:

a. Using a level, check if the dryer is level side to side and then front to back.

b. If the dryer is not level, adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the dryer until

the washer is level side to side and back to front. Turning the feet clockwise

retracts the feet. Turning the feet clockwise loosens and extends them.

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

leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the feet

by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the

washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.

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.

11. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models), exhaust, and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and

then check its operation by using the checklist below.

12. For GAS MODELS ONLY

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.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST



The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.

The exhaust ductwork is hooked up 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.

For gas models: The gas is turned on and there are no gas leaks.

Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

DRYER EXHAUST TIPS

Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.

WARNING

1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air

easily.

2. Use a 4” diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including

at the dryer.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.

4. Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer.

Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely.

Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:

1. Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.

2. Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.

3. Unnecessarily using long ducts that have many

elbows.

4. Having crushed or clogged ducts and vent.
