1. Extra Large Capacity

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

ultralarge 7.4cu.ft(DV5471A*), 7.3cu.ft(DV5451A*) 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 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.

4. Various Drying Cycles & Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Simply turn the Jog Dial to select one of the 13(DV5471A*), 11(DV5451A*) automatic drying

cycles, including normal, heavy duty and bedding, 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 42 minutes! Giving you time for more important things in life.

6. Energy Saving

Samsung dryers are super energy efﬁcient. You can dry up to 3.09 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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, as they give off 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

safety instructions

• 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

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.

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

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 speciﬁ cally

instructed to in the user-repair instructions and you have the understanding and skills to

carry out the procedure.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless the softener or product is

recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

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

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 information about grounding this appliance.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

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 objects.

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.
