Drying a load of laundry

VENT SENSOR

Your Samsung dryer is equipped with a Vent Sensor, which detects and notifi es you when it is time to clean
the ductwork. Keep your dryer safe and effi cient by cleaning the ducts when prompted.
The Vent Sensor detects any duct blockages
You can fi gure out whether there is a duct blockage from the message below the process bar.
Level

1) In the LEVEL 2 state, this message is displayed for 3 hours after the completion of the cycle. (If
the wrinkle prevention function is activated, this message is displayed for up to 3 hours.)
If the power button is pressed or the door is opened, the power is immediately turned off .
For more information about the duct installation, please refer to the "Ducting requirements"
section on page 14.
• Although the dryer is available even if the blockage message is displayed, the drying time
may be extended.
• If the LEVEL 1 message is displayed the fi rst time the dryer is run after installation, check
the connection and clean the duct. If the LEVEL 1 message appears even after you have
checked and cleaned the ducts, this may indicate that there are some restrictions of the
duct due to the length, condition, etc.. If this occurs, you can use the dryer normally and
no countermeasures need to be taken. However, the drying time may be extended or
the drying performance may be degraded
