features

1. Extra Large Capacity

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

large 10 kg dryer circulates more air through your clothes, drying them faster for a wrinkle-

free result.

2. 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 all bacteria is eliminated through high temperature heat.

Use this cycle for clothing, bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitization.

3. Various Drying Cycles & Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

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

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.

4. Energy Saving

Energy efficiency has been optimized to minimize unnecessary power consumption.

5. 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.

6. Pedestal with Storage Drawers

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

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

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

Samsung’s Washers and Dryers 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.

8. 4-way Vent

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

Congratulations on your new Samsung Dryer. This manual contains valuable

information on the installation, use, and care of your appliance. Please take the

time to read this manual to take full advantage of your dryer’s many benefits and

features.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

CAUTION

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

property damage.

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

Do NOT touch.

Follow directions explicity.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.

• Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials. If flexible metal

(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance

manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are

known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

• To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

WARNING - Risk of Fire

10_ 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.

• 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.
