WARNING

Precautions

-To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your

_;_

dryer, follow the basic safety precautions

below:

1.

Read all instructions

before using your appliance.

2.

To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning
solvents, or other fla m ma ble or explosive su bstances.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.
b.

6.

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.
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 weathen

7.
8.

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 and you understand and have the skills to carry those out.

g.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Clean the lint screen before or after each load.

10.

Keep the area around

12.
13.

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.

14.

Do not sit on top of the dryen
NOTE:
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.

15.

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 clocrative things.

The residual oil can ignite spontaneously.The
potential for spontaneous combustion
increases when the
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 red uce 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.

The hood should have at least 12 inches (305 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
