2_ Features of your new silvercare™ washer

features

1. Extra Large Capacity

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

ultralarge 7.4 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 11 automatic drying cycles, including normal,

heavy duty and towels, 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 44 minutes! Giving you time for more important things in life.

6. Energy Saving

Samsung dryers are super energy efficient. You can dry up to 3.01 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.

8. Pedestal with Storage Drawers

An optional 15” pedestal is available to raise the washer for easier loading and unloading. It

also offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent

9. Stacking (MODEL NO: SK-5A/XAA)

Samsung’s Washer and Dryer can be stacked to maximize usable space.

The Dryer legs need to be removed to stack the Washer and Dryer. You can purchase an

optional stacking kit from your Samsung retailer.

10. 4-way Vent (electric model only : DV419AE*)

You can install the exhaust vent in the following four (4) positions: back, either side, bottom.

Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and

situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing,

maintaining, or operating your dryer.

Always contact your manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand.

IMPORTANT SAFETY SYMBOLS AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or

death.

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or

property damage.

CAUTION

Follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or

to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or

any other appliance.

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

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.

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.

Safety information _5

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 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.

CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT

This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state

to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural

gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances

can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

8_ Installing your dryer

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 result in 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 with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

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.

Installing your dryer _9

If the new dryer is 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 with the dryer 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

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough

space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the

bottom or the right 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.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air

for combustion and proper dryer operation.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO

WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT 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

The dryer must be exhausted 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, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS.

See 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.
