1. Extra Large Capacity

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

large 7.4 cu.ft. 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 course

This course allows you to sanitize garments by permeating high temperature heat deep into

the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this course to keep your bedding and curtains clean.

When selecting this cycle, 99.9 % of all bacteria is eliminated through high temperature heat.

Use this cycle for clothing, bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitization.

This certification is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and

certification organization.

safety instructions

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.

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 wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

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.

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.

• Only a rigid or flexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

• 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.

• A 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.

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.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD

SUFFOCATING.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough

space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the

bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s

important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow

obstruction.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air

for combustion and proper dryer operation.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO

WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,

GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE

LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the Grounding section.

An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD.

Gas models – U.S. and Canada

A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is

required.

Electric models – U.S. only

Most U.S. dryers require a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. The electric

service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse

or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

• If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.

• The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.

IMPORTANT:

When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new

power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum

of 120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed

loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.

• Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring

must be retained at the dryer cabinet with a suitable UL-listed strain relief.

• Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations,

(2) mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit

grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use 4-prong plug for 4 wire receptacle, NEMA

type 14-30R.)

Electric models – Canada Only

• A 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or

circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.

• All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be

plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.

It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

If your dryer requires replacement parts or accessories, contact the dealer from whom you purchased your

dryer or the SAMSUNG customer care center at 1-800-SAMSUNG(726-7864).

INSTALLATION

Gather the required tools and parts before starting the installation.

Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

Tools and Parts

Pliers Cutting knife Pipe wrench (gas only) Nut drivers

Level Phillips Screwdriver Duct tape Wrench

For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a professional. To install:

1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side-

by-side, to allow access to gas, electrical, and exhaust connections.

Lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it will lay across both

cushion-tops.

2. Set your dryer back in an upright position.

3. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must

be level. To minimize vibration, 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 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 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.

DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped.

Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.

Tip for tight installations: install a section of exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place.

Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover ventilation slots at the back of the

unit in the dryer cabinet.

5. Review Electrical Requirements section.

BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.

U.S. MODELS:

IMPORTANT – 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 neutral. 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 3- and 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.

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” (1cm) deep well socket.
