This document is a user manual for a Samsung Dryer, model DVE(G)54M8750*. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and specifications for the appliance.
Function Description:
The Samsung Dryer is designed to efficiently dry clothes. It offers various drying cycles, including sensor-based drying, steam cycles, and manual dry cycles. The dryer detects internal humidity to adjust drying time for sensor dry cycles and uses steam to deodorize clothes, reduce static, and minimize wrinkles in steam cycles. Manual dry cycles allow users to set a fixed drying time. The appliance also supports Samsung Smart Home connectivity, enabling remote control and monitoring via a smartphone app (for gas models, the app is for monitoring only).
