Features

• Extra Large Capacity

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

large 7.5 cu.ft. capacity dryer circulates more air through your clothes, drying them faster, for

a wrinkle-free result.

• Smart Care

Samsung’s Smart Care, an automatic error-monitoring system, detects and diagnoses

problems at an early stage and provides a quick and easy solution. With the innovative Smart

Remote Control technology, you can also be alerted when the problem occurs via your smart

phones.

• Steam Cycle

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

of tumbling with heat. It reduces bad odors from clothing that are dicult to remove when

washing with water, and also reduces wrinkles.

• Sanitize Cycle

This cycle sanitizes garments by infusing high temperature heat deep into the fabric during

the drying cycle and eliminating 99.9% of certain bacteria. Use this cycle for clothing,

bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitization. The Sanitize cycle is certiﬁed by NSF

International, an independent third-party testing and certiﬁcation organization.

• 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 Plus, 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.

• Time Saving

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

less time... just 42 minutes! Giving you time for more important things in life.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - Risk of Fire

• 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.

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

• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly textured

rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can, under certain

circumstances, produce ﬁre by spontaneous combustion.

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.

Safety instructions _7

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

19. Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material, i.e.

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

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

21. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.

22. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS:

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California

to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such

substances.

This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,

or other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the

substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

Gas appliances may cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed including

benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot; as a result of possible incomplete

combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further

by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

CAUTION

1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.

2. 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.

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

4. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Take care that children’s ﬁngers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in

injury.
