• 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 re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items

may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re 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.

STEP 6 Power on (Gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then,

plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation

using the nal checklist in Step 7 below.

STEP 7 Final Check

When installation is complete, conrm that:

• The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.

• The exhaust ductwork is connected and the joints are taped.

• You have used rigid or stiff-walled exible metal duct material, not plastic exible duct.

• The dryer is level and is sitting rmly on the oor.

• The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.

For gas models:

• The gas is supplied properly with no leaks.

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to

operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes,

turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been

turned on. To conrm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is

properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of duct and

reports any blockage or problems to the user. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and

save energy.

NOTE

The Vent Blockage Test must run at cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation

check, run the Air Fluff cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

Operation method

1. Make sure the drum is empty and close the door.

(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, a correct test can not be made.)

2. Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the

Cycle 1 + Wrinkle Prevent buttons for 3 seconds.

When entering the Vent Blockage Test, “InS or In” appears in the display.

(If other procedures are started before entering the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer does

not enter the Vent Blockage Test.)

DV7700K-03170U-03_EN (US).indd 24 6/20/2016 11:22:31 AM

Installation

English 25

3. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately after pressing the START/PAUSE button.

During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 steps clockwise.

The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.

4. After 2 minutes, if the test has completed, the result is displayed and a tone is given.

If status of the duct system is normal, “End or 0” appears and a completion sound is given.

If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg or Cg” appears and an alarm sound is given.

In case of any other problem, an information code appears. Check the information

codes in this manual.

• To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your

dryer.

• During the test, if “dc” appears, make sure the door is closed. If “C1” is displayed,

make sure the drum has laundry inside.

• The result displays for about 5 minutes and then automatically turns off. You may

turn the result directly off by pressing the POWER button.

NOTE

• During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns.

The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when

the dryer is installed for the rst time.

• If the test result displays “CLg or Cg” (the duct system is blocked ), refer to “Ducting

requirements” and “Exhaust ducting guide” section of this manual and take proper

measures for drying.

If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper

procedures when testing the dryer.

• Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly.

Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions of this manual.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting

1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.

2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection.

Never use lint-trapping screws.

3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent ap opens and

closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a

regular basis.

installation instructions.

• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of

air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.

Dries unevenly.

• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not

be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached

the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose

a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher

dryness level.

• If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as

one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will

not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached

the selected dryness level.

• For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight

items separately.

Has odors.

• Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc.

may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is

normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it,

pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.

• When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the

room before using the dryer.

• Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist,

wash and dry the items again.

Lint on clothes.

• Make sure the lint lter is cleaned before every load. For

clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the lter during the

cycle.

• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white

cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes

that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen

pants).

• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

• Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.

• Remove lint inside the drum before drying.

Problem Action

Items still wrinkled

after Wrinkle Prevent

(Wrinkle Away,

Wrinkle Release).

• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.

• Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.

• Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.

Water drips from the

nozzle when Steam

Cycle starts.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after

a short time.

Sprayed water is not

visible during Steam

Cycles.

• Sprayed water is difcult to see when the door is closed.

Extended time.

• Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load

and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is

reached.

The drying time can change according to the type and

amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.

If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.
