1. Delay Start
You can delay the dryer’s start-up time for up to 24 hours. The Delay Start feature will allow
you to dry your clothes at a time that is convenient for you.
2. Freshen-up Program
Samsung’s Freshen-up program tumble-dries garments in cool air set at a time of your
choice, for up to 50 minutes. This program makes it easy to freshen-up clothes that only
require a little airing out.
3. Sensor Dry & Fuzzy Logic Control
Both technologies bring you outstanding economic benefits as well as excellent drying
performance. The Fuzzy Logic Control determines the dryness and gentleness needed
for your laundry and sets the appropriate drying time/cycle. The Sensor dry function
continuously measures the temperature in the inner section of the dryer to provide excellent
drying performance.
4. Various Drying Cycles & Fuzzy Logic Algorithm
Simply turn the Jog Dial to select one of the 11 automatic drying cycles, including normal,
heavy duty and towels. You can also choose to use the Fuzzy Logic Algorithm to measure
the degree of dampness and automatically set the drying time. Precision drying has never
been easier than with Samsung.
5. Wrinkle-Release
Our Wrinkle-Release program tumble dries garments in warm air for 10 minutes, then cool
air for an additional 10 minutes. You can use the Wrinkle-Release program to smooth the
wrinkles of garments that have been stored away.
6. Stacking
Samsung Washers and Dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space, using an optional
Stacking Kit.

4_ Safety instructions
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying
compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
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 specifically
recommended in the user-repair instructions. You must also have the skills necessary to
service this appliance.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless 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 grounding this appliance.

Safety instructions _5
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
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.
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 dry clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.
Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed
in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and
so 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.

8_ 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.
• 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.
•
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. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• 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.

* Do not use non-metallic flexible duct.
If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make sure:
• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
• That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
• The duct is not kinked or crushed.
• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or
be less than 0. This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point
where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer
tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.
