Safety information
To minimize the risk of re in a tumble dryer, the following should be
observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
re hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If
the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should rst be
washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances should not
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances commonly used in domestic
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot
removers(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber(also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber. Like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous combustion.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
Kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

Location requirements
Select a level, well-constructed surface that will withstand vibrations. Select a location
where a grounded, 3-prong outlet is easily accessible.
WARNING
• Install the dryer indoors only.
• Do not install the dryer in areas exposed to the weather.
• Do not install the dryer where the temperature may fall below 5 °C or rise above 35 °C.
• Do not install the dryer where gas may leak.
• Do not block the cooling grill’s air inlet located at the dryer front.
Alcove or closet installation
For alcove or closet installation, the dryer requires the following minimum clearances:
Sides Top Front Rear
25 mm 25 mm 490 mm 51 mm
If installing the dryer with a washer, the front of the alcove or closet must have an
unobstructed air opening of at least 490 mm.
Electrical and grounding requirements
• The dryer requires an AC 220-240 V 50 Hz electrical supply.
• The dryer must be properly grounded. If the dryer malfunctions or breaks down,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current. The dryer comes with a power cord that has a 3-prong grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• If you have any questions regarding the electrical or grounding requirements, please
contact Samsung or a qualied electrician.
WARNING
• Plug into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not use a damaged power plug, cord, or loose or damaged wall outlet.
• Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in electric
shock. If you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded, check with a qualied
electrician.
• Do not modify the power plug, power cord, or power outlet in any way.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Dryer
Before you install the dryer, make sure you have read Installation requirements on
page 17. Please note that the following instructions are for installation without using a
drain hose. For instructions for using a drain hose, see the next section, Drain hose. For
convenience, consider installing the dryer next to your washer.
A
B
1. Gently slide the dryer into the desired
location.
2. Use a level (A) and check the levelness
of the dryer from side to side and front
to back.
3. If the dryer is not level, adjust the
levelling leg (B). Turning the leg
counter-clockwise retracts the leg.
Turning the leg clockwise extends the
leg.
4. Once the dryer is level, make sure the
dryer stands rmly on the oor.
5. Plug in the dryer.
C D
NOTE
• To set the dryer to the same height as
the washer, fully retract (C) the levelling
legs by turning them counter clockwise,
then loosen (D) the legs by turning
them clockwise.
• Extend the levelling leg only as much
as necessary. Extending the levelling
leg more than necessary can cause the
dryer to vibrate.
