STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS:
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such
substances.
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm. This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the
substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.
Gas appliances may cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed including
benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and soot; as a result of possible incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further
by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
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.
