• Do not install the dryer in areas exposed to the weather.
• Do not install the dryer where the temperature may fall below 5 °C or rise above 35 °C.

If installing the dryer with a washer, the front of the alcove or closet must have an
unobstructed air opening of at least 490 mm.
Electrical and grounding requirements
• The dryer requires an AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz electrical supply.
• The dryer must be properly grounded. If the dryer malfunctions or breaks down,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
the electric current. The dryer comes with a power cord that has a 3-prong grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• If you have any questions regarding the electrical or grounding requirements, please
contact Samsung or a qualified electrician.
WARNING
• Plug into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not use a damaged power plug, cord, or loose or damaged wall outlet.
• Do not use an adaptor or an extension cord.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in electric
shock. If you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded, check with a qualified
electrician.
• Do not modify the power plug, power cord, or power outlet in any way.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
