Installation
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.

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 50 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 adaptor 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.

drain hose. For instructions for using a drain hose, see the next section, Drain hose (if
necessary). For convenience, consider installing the dryer next to your washer.
A
B
1. Gently put the dryer on 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
• The dryer can be levelled using either
or both of the front and rear legs of the
dryer.
• 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.
