Installation
Follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper installation of the dryer and prevent
accidents when doing laundry.
Installation requirements
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 adapter 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.
Alcove installation
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
•
Sides: 25 mm, Top: 25 mm, Rear: 50 mm, Front: 490 mm
If installing the dryer with a washing machine, the front of the alcove or closet must have an
unobstructed air opening of at least 550 mm.
