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.
· Do not install a booster fan in the exhaust duct.
WARNING – What to do if you 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.

instructions before using this appliance. 2. Do not dry articles that have
been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they
give off vapours that could ignite or explode. 3. Risk of Suffocation and
Injury from Entrapment: Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near
children. 4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door to the drying compartment. 5. Do not reach into the appliance if the
drum is moving.
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 or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out. 9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 10. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials. 11. Clean lint screen before or after each load. 12. Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt. 13. The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. 15. Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer). 16. (For Heat pump Clothes dryer) Sharp Edges to reduce the risk of injury, use care when cleaning the condenser or evaporator coil fins.
WARNING
· Ensure pockets are free of small, irregularly shaped hard objects and
foreign material, i.e. coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage
your dryer.
· Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
CAUTION
· 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.
· Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to
the drying compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped
inside.
· Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving. · Do not install or
store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. · Do not tamper

around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and
dirt.
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 or not in accordance with local and national codes.
See the installation instructions for information about grounding this
appliance. · Do not sit on top of the dryer. · Do not dry clothing with large
buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid objects. · 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.

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.
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 or In” 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
33. If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the
display. For description about the code, see the “Information codes” section

Maintenance
Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its
life.
WARNING Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present
a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel – Do not
contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board
and inlet valve.
Vent sensor
The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and notifies you when it is time
to clean the ductwork. The indicator lets you know the status of the duct.
Level 0 1
2
Indicator Off
On
Blinking with the alarm
Status
Action
The ductwork is not clogged.
· The duct or lint filter is clogged. · The pressure applied to the duct
is high because the duct is too long or bent.
· Check the lint filter or duct and clean if necessary.
· Check the duct connections and shorten or straighten the duct if necessary.
· The duct or lint filter is severely clogged.
· The pressure applied to the duct is very high because the duct is too long
or bent.
· Check and clean the lint filter or duct and make sure they are not clogged.
· Check the duct connections and shorten or straighten the duct work.
If the vent sensor detects a level 2 state, the starts to blink with a
5-second alarm after the completion of the current cycle, and the blinking
will continue for 3 hours. If you press Power or open the door, the dryer
powers off immediately.
NOTE
· For duct installation, see “Exhaust ducting guide”. · The dryer may keep
running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be extended. ·
If the indicator turns on for the first time and is solid (not blinking),
check and clean the lint filter and/
or duct. · If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is
installed or connected with some
restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system
failure. However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be
degraded.

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 be still 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 Does not run. Does not heat.
Does not dry.
Action
· 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 is opened
during a cycle. · Clean the lint filter.
· Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. · Some cycles do not require
heating. 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.
· 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.

Problem Is noisy.
Dries unevenly.
Has odors.
Lint on clothes. Items still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLE-CARE,
WRINKLE RELEASE).
Action
· 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.
· 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.
· 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 a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry
the item again.
· Use the REFRESH cycle. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.
· 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.
· 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.

Troubleshooting
Problem Water drips from the nozzle when STEAM CARE starts. Sprayed water is
not visible during STEAM CARE.
Extended time.
Action · This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a
short
time.
· Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.
· 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.
