features

1. Extra Large Capacity

Ultra drying capabilities are at your ﬁngertips! Now you can dry extra-large loads. Our ultra

large 7.4 cu.ft. capacity dryer circulates more air through your clothes, drying them faster for

a wrinkle-free result.

2. Steam cycle

This cycle sprays a small amount of water into the dryer drum after several minutes of

tumbling with heat. It reduces bad odors from clothing that are difﬁcult to remove when

washing with water, and also reduces wrinkles.

3. Sanitize course

This course allows you to sanitize garments by permeating high temperature heat deep into

the fabric during the drying cycle. Use this course to keep your bedding and curtains clean.

When selecting this cycle, 99.9% of all bacteria is eliminated through high temperature heat.

Use this cycle for clothing, bedding, towels, or other items needing sanitization.

This certiﬁcation is conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and

certiﬁcation organization.

4. Various Drying Cycles & Fuzzy Logic Algorithm

Simply turn the Jog Dial to select one of the 9 automatic drying cycles, including normal,

heavy duty and towels, or let the Fuzzy Logic Control measure the degree of dampness and

automatically set the drying time. Precision drying has never been easier than with Samsung.

5. Time Saving

Our cycles are designed with you in mind. All our dryers are designed to dry your clothes in

less time... just 42 minutes! Giving you time for more important things in life.

6. Energy Saving

Samsung dryers are super energy efﬁcient. You can dry up to 3.01 pounds of laundry with

1kWh. Also, both the large capacity and Fuzzy Logic Control save energy by automatically

drying your clothes the most efﬁcient way.

7. Easy Reversible Door

Our dryers will ﬁt just about anywhere. The direction of our easy reversible door can be

changed with just four screws.

8. Pedestal with Storage Drawers

An optional 15” pedestal is available to raise the dryer for easier loading and unloading. It

also offers a built-in storage drawer that can hold a 100 oz. bottle of detergent

9. Stacking (MODEL NO: SK-5A)

Samsung’s Washers and Dryers can be stacked to maximize usable space.

The Dryer legs need to be removed to stack the Washer and Dryer. You can purchase an

optional stacking kit from your Samsung retailer.

10.4-way Vent (electric model only : DV431AE*)

You can install the exhaust vent in the following four (4) positions: back, either side, bottom.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

safety instructions

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct should be cleaned periodically by qualiﬁed service

personnel.

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.

Do not sit on top of the dryer.

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.

Ensure pockets are free from small irregularly shaped hard objects, foreign material, etc. ie.

coins, knives, pins, etc. These objects could damage your dryer.

Do not wash clothing with large buckles, buttons, or other heavy metal or solid things.

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.

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.

Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneoulsy. 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 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.

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.

• Do not use a smaller duct.

• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation.

Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.

• If a ﬂexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a ﬂexible duct

with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the ﬂexible metal duct is bent too sharply.

• Never install any type of ﬂexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.

• Only a rigid or ﬂexible metal duct should be used for exhausting.

• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.

• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.

• DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF

A BUILDING, GAS VENT, OR ANY OTHER COMMON DUCT OR CHIMNEY.

THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD FROM LINT EXPELLED BY THE DRYER.

• A plastic ﬂexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airﬂow, extend drying times, and affect dryer

operation.

• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and

may collect lint.

• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and

entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.

• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and

the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.

• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.

• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house

or porch.

• If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly

down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before

cleaning.

• Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

• Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then

check ducting for obstructions.

10_ installing your dryer

installing your dryer

If the new dryer is installed into an existing exhaust system you must make

sure:

• The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.

• That a ﬂexible plastic duct is not used.

• To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.

• The duct is not kinked or crushed.

• The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be

less than 0.

This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust

duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be

empty and the lint ﬁlter clean.

IMPORTANT TO INSTALLER

Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept

for future reference.

REMOVE THE DOOR FROM ALL DISCARDED APPLIANCES TO AVOID THE DANGER OF A CHILD

SUFFOCATING.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough

space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the

bottom or the right or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s

important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-ﬂow

obstruction.

On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air

for combustion and proper dryer operation.

THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO

WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,

GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE

LINT. THE AREA AROUND THE DRYER SHOULD BE KEPT LINT-FREE.
