20. Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects and foreign material, i.e.
coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.
21. Gas leaks may occur in your system, resulting in a dangerous situation.
22. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
23. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
CAUTION
CAUTION
1. Do not sit on top of the dryer.
2. 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.
3. Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.
4. Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Take care that children's fi ngers are not caught in the door when closing it. This may result in
injury.
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.
