SAVE THESE 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.
CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state 
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn 
customers of potential exposure to such substances. 
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon 
monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural 
gas or LP fuels. 
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances 
can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
