Your new dryer will change the way you feel about drying laundry, From its

specialized 8" L©D touch screen, and its innovative Smart Control technology to its

time and energy efficiency, your new Samsung dryer has all the benefits to make

drying laundry as easy and pleasant as possible,

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 difficult to remove when

washing with water and also reduces wrinkles.

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.

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 the clothes dryer's 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:

WARNinG

• 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.

/!X WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:

WARNinG

• 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.

Z_ WARNING

WARNING

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

basic precautions, including the following:

t. 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 off vapors that could ignite or explode.

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.

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

appliance.

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 the appliance is removed from service or discarded, 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 the controls.

t0. 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.

t 1. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

t2. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

t3. Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like

materials.

t4. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and

dirt.

t 5. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service

personnel.

t6. 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.

t7. This appliance must be grounded. See "Electrical requirements" and "Grounding" in the

"Installing your dryer" section.

t8. 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.

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 _urchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.

Z_ CAUTION

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.

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

Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8°

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 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.

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.

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

injury.

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.
