Do not dry laundry contaminated by vegetable oil or cooking oil as a large amount of the oil will not be
removed when washing the laundry. In addition, use the unheated dry cycle so that the laundry is not
heated.
• The oxidization heat of the oil may start a fire.
Do not dry laundry contaminated by foreign substances such as oil, cream, lotion, or other chemicals that
are used in places such as skincare room, massage parlor, beauty salon, or hospital.

covers).
If necessary, use the laundry net for small and lightweight laundry such as fabric tie belt, apron strings, and
underwire bras which can dissolve or break during a cycle.
Dryer sheets are compatible with this model, and are recommended for better drying performance.
Dryer sheets are also beneficial in reducing the static electricity generated during a drying cycle. Static
electricity could lead to damage of laundry items and potentially the appliance.

Installation requirements
NOTE
This dryer must be installed by a qualified installer. If service is required due to poor or faulty installation,
it is considered the owner’s responsibility and may void the warranty. Keep these instructions for future
reference.
WARNING
• Do not plug the power cord into a wall outlet before the dryer is completely installed.
• Have two or more persons help move the dryer.
• Do not let children or pets play in, on, or around the dryer. Proper supervision is necessary at all times.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children.
• Do not replace a damaged power cord or power plug yourself. Have Samsung or a qualified service
technician replace a damaged power cord or power plug.
• Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the dryer. For any repairs, contact the nearest Samsung
service center.
• Remove the door/lids from all discarded appliances to avoid children from suffocating.
• If the dryer generates a strange noise, burning smells, or smoke, unplug the power plug immediately
and contact the nearest Samsung service center.
• Do not unplug the dryer while it is operating.
• Do not place flammable objects near the dryer.
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 qualified electrician.
WARNING
• Plug the power cord 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 qualified 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.

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 washing machine, the front of the alcove or closet must have an unobstructed
air opening of at least 550 mm.
Step-by-step installation
Before you install your dryer, make sure you have read Installation requirements on page 15.
STEP 1 Select a location
Location requirements
Select a level, well-constructed surface that will withstand vibrations. Select a location where a grounded,
3-prong outlet is easily accessible.
For convenience, consider installing the dryer next to your washing machine.
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.

English 17
STEP 2 Adjust the levelling feet
B
A
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, turn the levelling feet (B)
left or right to adjust the height.
4. Once the dryer is level, make sure the dryer stands
firmly on the floor.
5. Plug in the dryer.
C D
NOTE
• To set the dryer to the same height as the washing
machine, turn the levelling feet to the right until
it fully retracts (C). Then, turn the levelling feet
to the left to extend (D) it until the dryer and the
washing machine are the same height.
• Extend the levelling leg only as much as necessary.
Extending the levelling leg more than necessary
can cause the dryer to vibrate.

STEP 3 Connect the drain hose
• We strongly recommend connecting the drain hose
to your drainage system.
• If the drain hose connected on the dryer is too
short to reach the drainage system, use the
provided accessory hose (long drain hose).
• Use the built-in water tank only if you cannot
connect the drain hose to a drainage system.
NOTE
As a factory default, this dryer is set to use the built-in
water tank to drain condensed water.

English 19
Over a wash basin:
A
CB
1. Make sure to place the end of the accessory hose
lower than 90 cm (*) from the bottom of dryer.
2. To bend some point of the accessory hose, use
the supplied plastic hose guide (B) and secure the
guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a
piece of string. Assemble the drain hose (A) and
the hose guide (B) and fix them with the cable-tie
(C).
3. You can drain the condensed water by connecting
the accessory hose (long drain hose) to the drain-
outlet directly.
