safety instructions
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 the
installation instructions for information about grounding this appliance.
Do not sit on top of the dryer.
Because of continuing product improvements, Samsung reserves the right to change
specifi cations 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 objects.
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 signifi cant amounts of these
oils.
Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. 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 fi re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items may prevent heat
from escaping and can create a fi re 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.
