ELECTRICAL CONNE CTIONS
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.
• 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.
• The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
NOTE: 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
Parts and literature are packaged inside your dryer drum. 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 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. 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 louvers in dryer cabinet.
4. Review Electrical Requirements section.
BEFORE OPERATING OR TESTING, follow the grounding instructions in the Grounding section.
5. With a level, check your dryer and make necessary adjustments to the leveling legs.
6. At this time, make sure all exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and
check operation by using the checklist below.
