1. Extra Large Capacity

Ultra drying capabilities are at your ﬁngertips! Now you can dry extra-large loads. Our

ultralarge 7.5 cu.ft. capacity dryer circulates more air through your clothes, drying them

faster, for a wrinkle-free result.

2. Steam Cycle

This cycle sprays a small amount of water into the dryer drum after several minutes of

tumbling with heat. It reduces bad odors from clothing that are difﬁcult to remove when

washing with water, and also reduces wrinkles.

3. Sanitize Course

This course allows you to sanitize garments by permeating high temperature heat deep into

the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this course to keep your bedding and curtains clean.

When selecting this cycle, 99.9% of certain bacteria is eliminated through high temperature

heat. Use this cycle for clothing, bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitized. This

certiﬁcation is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and

certiﬁcation organization.

4. Various Drying Cycles & Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Simply turn the Jog Dial to select one of the 13 automatic drying cycles, including normal,

heavy duty and bedding, or let the Fuzzy Logic Control measure the degree of dampness

and automatically set the drying time. Precision drying has never been easier than with

Samsung.

5. Time Saving

Our cycles are designed with you in mind. All our dryers are designed to dry your clothes in

less time... just 50 minutes! Giving you time for more important things in life.

6. Energy Saving

Samsung dryers are super energy efﬁcient. You can dry up to 3.31 pounds of laundry with

1kWh. Also, both the large capacity and Fuzzy Logic Control save energy by automatically

drying your clothes the most efﬁcient way.

7. Easy Reversible Door

Our dryers will ﬁt just about anywhere and without a door conﬂict. The direction of our easy

reversible door can be changed with just four screws.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 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 vapors that could ignite or explode.

3. 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.

6. 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.Clean lint screen before or after each load.

11.Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

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

WARNING - Risk of Fire

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 (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-

like materials must not be dried on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,

under certain circumstances, produce ﬁre by spontaneous combustion.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 controls.

Do not repair, replace, or attempt to service any part of the appliance unless speciﬁcally

recommended in the user-repair instructions and you understand and have the skills to

carry those out.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless 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 and in accordance with local and national codes. See

installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.

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.
