VENT SENSOR

Your Samsung dryer is equipped with a Vent Sensor, which detects and notifi es you when it is time to clean
the ductwork. Keep your dryer safe and effi cient by cleaning the ducts when prompted.
The Vent Sensor detects any duct blockages
You can fi gure out whether there is a duct blockage from the "Vent Sensor
digital display.
Level

In the LEVEL 2 state, this lamp blinks for 3 hours after the completion of the cycle. (If the wrinkle
prevention function is activated, this message is displayed for up to 3 hours.)
If the power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off .
For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the "" section on page 9.
• Although the dryer is available even if the blockage message is displayed, the drying time
may be extended.
• If the LEVEL 1 message is displayed the fi rst time the dryer is run after the installation,
check the connection and clean the duct. If the LEVEL 1 message appears even
after you have checked and cleaned the ducts, this may indicate that there are some
restrictions of the duct due to the length, condition, etc.
If this occurs, you can use the dryer normally and no countermeasures need to be taken.
However, the drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
