Safety Instructions

SAMSUNG Clothes Dryers Owner’s Instructions

Read all instructions before using this appliance

Warning - It is extremely important that you read and adhere to the following

instructions. Failure to do so could cause bodily injuries and/orproperty

damage due to fire.

•Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this

Owner’s Manual.

- This dryer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the

Installation Instructions before it is used.

- Properly ground to conform with Local Codes. Follow details in Installation

Instructions.

- Locate where the temperature is above 50°F(10°C) for satisfactory opera-

tion of the dryer control system. Do not install or store the dryer where it

will be exposed to the weather.

- Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to

avoid electrical overload.

- Exhausting to the outside is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to prevent

large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room.

Carefully follow the Exhausting Details in the Installation Instructions.

- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual.

- When disconnecting this appliance pull by the plug rather than the cord to

avoid damage to the cord or junction of cord and plug. Make sure that the

cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise

subjected to damage or stress.

To Minimize the Possibility of a Fire Hazard

• Exhaust Duct - See Installation Instructions. Use only rigid metal or flexible metal

4” diameter ductwork for exhausting to the outside. USE OF PLASTIC OR

OTHER COMBUSTIBLE DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE. FOIL OR

OTHER EASILY PUNCTURED DUCTWORK CAN CAUSE A FIRE IF IT

COLLAPSES OR BECOMES OTHERWISE RESTRICTED IN USE OR DUR-

ING INSTALLATION.

•

Do not use heat to dry articles containing rubber, plastic, or similar materials (such as

padded bras, tennis shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, pillows, baby pants, plastic

bags, etc.) as these materials may melt or burn. Also, some rubber materials, when

heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

• Do not store items that may burn or melt (such as clothing, paper material, plastics

or plastic containers, etc.) on top of the dryer during the operation.

• Garments labeled “Dry Away from Heat” must not be put in your dryer.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or

spotted with combustible or explosive substances (such as wax, paint, gasoline

degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which may ignite or explode.

Do not add these substances to the wash water. Do not use these substances

around your washer and/or dryer during operation.

• Any article on which you have used a cleaning solvent, or which contains flam-

mable materials (such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in beauty salons,

restaurants or barber shops, etc.) must not be placed in or near 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, dena-

tured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot removers,

turpentines, waxes, wax removers and products containing petroleum distillates.

• Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent lint accumulation inside the

dryer or in the room. DO NOT OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE

LINT FILTER IN PLACE.

• Keep the area around the exhaust opening, and around and underneath your

appliances free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint,

paper, rags, chemicals, etc.

• Regularly inspect the exhaust duct to be sure it has not been crushed or other-

wise restricted.

• The interior of the dryer cabinet and the exhaust duct connection inside the

dryer should be cleaned every 2 to 3 years, or more often if needed, by a qual-

ified service person.

To Minimize the Possibility of Injury

• Never reach into the dryer while the drum is moving. Before loading, unload-

ing or adding clothes, wait until the drum has completely stopped.

• Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer. Skin irritation could result from

the remaining glass particles that may be picked up by clothing during subse-

quent dryer uses.

• The laundry process can reduce the flame retardance of fabrics. To avoid such

a result, the garment manufacturer’s care instructions should be followed very

carefully.

• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. Do

not allow children to play inside, on, or with this appliance or any discarded

appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing materials

properly. Before discarding a dryer, or removing for service, remove the door

of the dryer compartment.

• Keep all laundry aids (such as detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, etc.) out

of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings

on container labels to avoid personal injury.

• Keep the floor around your appliances clean and dry to reduce the possibility

of slipping.

• To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug this appliance from the

power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning (except the

removal and cleaning of the lint filter).

• Do not tamper with the controls.

• Do not operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disas-

sembled, or has missing or broken parts, including a damaged cord or plug.

• Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.

• DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminat-

ed with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a

clothes load to catch fire.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXHAUST

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency.

IMPORTANT: Have your dryer installed properly.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions appearing in this manual are not

meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

stood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that CANNOT be built

into the dryer. These factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s) installing, maintain-

ing, or operating the dryer.

Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate this machine according to the manufacturer’s

instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

Installation Instructions

SAMSUNG Clothes Dryers Owner’s Instructions

This dryer comes ready for top

exhausting.

WARNINGS

•DO NOT USE NON METALLIC

FLEXIBLE DUCT.

• Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.

• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney,

range hood, gas vent, floor or attic.

The combination of lint and grease

could create a fire hazard or damages.

• Provide an access for inspection and

cleaning the exhaust system at least

once a year.

EXHAUST LENGTH

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length

of the exhaust system depends upon the

type of duct, number of turns, the type of

exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions

noted below. The maximum allowable

length for both rigid and flexible metal

duct is shown in the table 1 (next page).

More than four 90° turns is not recom-

mended.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST

HOOD or WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back

drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal

resistance to the exhaust air flow and

should require little or no maintenance

to prevent clogging.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 300

mm (12”) above ground level or any

other obstruction with the opening

pointed down.

• If roof vents or louvered plenums are

used, they must be equivalent to a 100

mm (4”) dampered wall cap in regard to

resistance to air flow, prevention of back

drafts and maintenance required to pre-

vent clogging.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

Separate all turns by at least 1m(3ft.) of

straight duct, including distance between

last turn and dampered wall cap. If two

turns must be closer than 1 m (3 ft.)

deduct 3 m (10 ft.) from the maximum

lengths shown in the table for each occur-

rence.

TURNS OTHER THAN 90°

• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.

• Two 45° turns should be treated as one

90°.

• Each turn over 45° should be treated as

one 90°.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.

The male end of each section of duct

must point away from the dryer.

• Do not assemble the duct work with fas-

teners that extend into the duct. They

will serve as a collection point for lint.

• Duct joints can be made air and mois-

ture-tight by wrapping the overlapped

joints with duct tape.

INSULATION

• Duct work which runs through an

unheated area or is near an air condi-

tioning duct, should be insulated to

reduce condensation and lint build up

and be sloped down toward outdoors.

NOTE: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.

WARNING: THE DRYER MUST

EXHAUST TO THE OUTDOORS.

TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF

LINTAND MOISTURE FROMACCU-

MULATING AND TO MAINTAIN DRY-

ING EFFICIENCY, THIS MACHINE

MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

EXHAUST LENGTH CALCULATION

Table 1: RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM LENGTH

* Do not use non metallic flexible duct.

Operating Instructions, Tips

SAMSUNG Clothes Dryers Owner’s Instructions

During DRY cycle, displayed remaining

time may be increased or decreased.

Such a condition is not a system failure,

but a DRY function optimization process.

Load less than 8lb to get the best drying

result. (Max. DRY time is 3 hours.)

Polyester Knits & Permanent Press Drying Tips

•DO NOT OVERLOAD- Garments being dried or dewrinkled should tumble

freely.

•REMOVE CLOTHES PROMPTLY- To help prevent wrinkling, remove

clothes from the dryer promptly at the end of the drying cycles.

•PLACE ON HANGERS- Permanent press and polyester knit garments look

best if placed on hangers after drying.

LOADING CLOTHES

Don’t overload your dryer. Crowded loads don’t dry efficiently and clothes may

be unnecessarily wrinkled.

As a general rule, sort clothes by surface texture, fabric, colour and weight, as

you would for your washer.

Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm.

Do not overload. This wastes energy and caused wrinkling.

Do not dry the following items: fiberglass items, woolens, rubber- coated items,

plastics, items with plastic trim and foam-filled items.

Clothing with metallic components may damage the drum interior during

drying.

Caution (DV4008J)

• The display indicates remaining time by automatically calculating the

quantity of clothing and the content of water . During the first phase of the

drying cycle, the display will indicate the total estimated time of the dry.

• During the drying cycle, you will again be able to verify the degree of

dryness of the clothing and then increase or decrease the remaining time

according to the desired results. (Max. DRY time is 3 hours)
