Installation Instructions
4 SAMSUNG Clothes Dryers Owner’s Instructions
This dryer comes ready for top
exhausting.
WARNINGS
• DO NOT USE NON METALLIC
FLEXIBLE DUCT.
• Never use flexible duct inside the dryer.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney,
range hood, gas vent, floor or attic.
The combination of lint and grease
could create a fire hazard or damages.
• Provide an access for inspection and
cleaning the exhaust system at least
once a year.
EXHAUST LENGTH
The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length
of the exhaust system depends upon the
type of duct, number of turns, the type of
exhaust hood (wall cap), and all conditions
noted below. The maximum allowable
length for both rigid and flexible metal
duct is shown in the table 1 (next page).
More than four 90° turns is not recom-
mended.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK LIST
HOOD or WALL CAP
• Terminate in a manner to prevent back
drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal
resistance to the exhaust air flow and
should require little or no maintenance
to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 300
mm (12”) above ground level or any
other obstruction with the opening
pointed down.
• If roof vents or louvered plenums are
used, they must be equivalent to a 100
mm (4”) dampered wall cap in regard to
resistance to air flow, prevention of back
drafts and maintenance required to pre-
vent clogging.
SEPARATION OF TURNS
Separate all turns by at least 1m(3ft.) of
straight duct, including distance between
last turn and dampered wall cap. If two
turns must be closer than 1 m (3 ft.)
deduct 3 m (10 ft.) from the maximum
lengths shown in the table for each occur-
rence.
TURNS OTHER THAN 90°
• One turn of 45° or less may be ignored.
• Two 45° turns should be treated as one
90°.
• Each turn over 45° should be treated as
one 90°.
SEALING OF JOINTS
• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks.
The male end of each section of duct
must point away from the dryer.
• Do not assemble the duct work with fas-
teners that extend into the duct. They
will serve as a collection point for lint.
• Duct joints can be made air and mois-
ture-tight by wrapping the overlapped
joints with duct tape.
INSULATION
• Duct work which runs through an
unheated area or is near an air condi-
tioning duct, should be insulated to
reduce condensation and lint build up
and be sloped down toward outdoors.
NOTE : Never install screen inside exhaust duct.
WARNING: THE DRYER MUST
EXHAUST TO THE OUTDOORS.
TO PREVENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF
LINT AND MOISTURE FROM ACCU-
MULATING AND TO MAINTAIN DRY-
ING EFFICIENCY, THIS MACHINE
MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
