Replacement parts and accessories
If your dryer requires replacement parts or accessories, contact the dealer where you purchased your dryer or the
SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
Installation
For the proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for the installation.
Consider installing the dryer and washer side-by-side, to allow access
to the gas, electrical, and exhaust connections. Place two of the carton
cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across
both cushion-tops.
2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.
3. To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying performance, it
must be level. To minimize vibrations, noise, and unwanted movement,
the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.
To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the
leveling feet (A) by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the
legs by turning them clockwise.
Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the
dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can
cause the dryer to vibrate.
4. Review the “Exhausting” section on page 13 before installing the exhaust system.
Install the ductwork from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point
away from your dryer.
CAUTION - Before installing your dryer, remove the packing in the duct.
• DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling the ducting. These joints should be taped.
• Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
• Tip for tight installations: install a section of the exhaust system onto your dryer before putting it in place.
• Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the back of
the unit in dryer cabinet.
5. Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 16.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the “Grounding” section on page 9.
WARNING - U.S. MODELS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION.
The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if
local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral conductor. If the 4-wire system is used, the
dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
Refer to the following instructions for “Electrical connections” on page 17.
Remove the terminal block cover plate.
Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal
block.
A strain relief must be used.
Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight.
Use a 3/8 in. (1 cm) deep well socket.
