What you need to know about Safety Instructions Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, or operating your dryer. Always contact your manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not understand. RECOGNIZE SAFETY SYMBOLS, WORDS, LABELS WARNING ­ Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD result in severe personal injury or death. CAUTION ­ Hazards or unsafe practices that COULD result in minor personal injury or property damage. WARNING ­ Follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance. Safety Precautions WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: · Do not try to light any appliance. · Do not turn on the appliance. · Do not touch any electrical switch. · Do not use any phone in your building. · Clear the room, building or area of all occupants. · Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. · If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. WARNING ­ 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 flammable or explosive substances. 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. 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. 3. 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. 4. Before discarding or removing your dryer from service, remove the door to the drying compartment to prevent children or animals from becoming trapped inside. 5. Do not reach into the appliance when the drum is moving. 6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather. 7. Do not tamper with controls. 8. 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. 9. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended for dryer use by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product. 4SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Instructions SAMSUNG Dryer Owner's Safety Precautions 10. Clean the lint screen before or after each load. 11. Keep the area around the exhaust opening and surrounding areas free from lint, dust, and dirt. 12. The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel. 13. 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 dryer. 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. 16. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things. WARNING ­ 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. WARNING ­ 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. 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 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.
