01 SAFETY 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

IMPORTANT SAFTY INSTRUCTION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted

with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ﬂammable or explosive substances, because

they give o vapors that could ignite or explode.

3. Do not use the dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any ﬂammable substance, such

as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ﬂammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything

containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may

cause the fabric to catch ﬁre by itself.

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

appliance.

5. 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.

6. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the drying

compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.

7. Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving.

8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

9. Do not tamper with the controls.

10. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless speciﬁcally

recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or published in the user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

12. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

13. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

14. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and

dirt.

15. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

16. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking

oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch ﬁre.

17. This appliance must be grounded. See “Electrical requirements” and ”Grounding” in the

“Installing your dryer” section.

18. 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. Refer to

installation instructions for grounding this appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

01 SAFETY 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.

GAS APPLIANCES :

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

reproductive toxicity.

Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances, including but

not limited to, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, substances resulting from the

incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

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.
