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.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas

supplier.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

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.

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.

safety instructions

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 the

installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

Because of continuing product improvements, Samsung reserves the right to change

specifications without notice. For complete details, see the Installation Instructions

packed with your product before selecting cabinetry, making cutouts, or beginning

installation.

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 objects.

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 spontaneously. 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.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

• Do not use a smaller duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.

Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

• If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct

with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

• Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF

A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY. THIS COULD CREATE A

FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

• A plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer

operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and

may collect lint.

• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood that has a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts

and the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and

the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house

or porch.

• If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly

down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning.

• Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

If the new Dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must

make sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.

• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not kinked or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column or be

less than 0.

This can be measured while the Dryer is running with a manometer at the point where the

exhaust duct connects to the Dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The Dryer tumbler should

be empty and the lint filter clean.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD

SUFFOCATING.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Locate the Dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading and enough space behind for the

exhaust system. This Dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the left, use

the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has

enough fresh air. The Dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.

For gas Dryers, you must provide the clearance noted on the data plate to ensure adequate air for

combustion and proper Dryer operation.

DO NOT INSTALL OR STORE THE DRYER IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/

OR WEATHER. KEEP THE DRYER AREA CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREA

AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.

ALCOVE OR CLOSET INSTALLATION

You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or

closet.

• No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the Dryer.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, YOU MUST EXHAUST THIS DRYER TO THE OUTDOORS.

See the EXHAUST INFORMATION section.

• Minimum clearances between the Dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:

2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5” in the back.

• The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in²

with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is

acceptable.
