Electrical and grounding requirements

The dryer requires an AC 220-240 V 50 Hz electrical supply.

The dryer must be properly grounded. If the dryer malfunctions or breaks down, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. The dryer comes with a power cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

If you have any questions regarding the electrical or grounding requirements, please contact Samsung or a qualified electrician.

WARNING

Plug into a grounded, 3-prong outlet.

Do not use a damaged power plug, cord, or loose or damaged wall outlet.

Do not use an adapter or an extension cord.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor may result in electric shock. If you are unsure if the dryer is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.

Do not modify the power plug, power cord, or power outlet in any way.

Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
