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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following: 1. Read all 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 with the controls. · Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless specifically instructed to in
the user-repair instructions and you have the understanding and skills to carry out the procedure. · Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or product is
recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. · Clean the lint screen before or after each load. · Keep the area 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.

Installation
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 on page 57. – To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the Power button to turn off your dryer. – 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 18 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.

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

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.
