Sensor drying technology detects the moisture content of the laundry. Once your laundry is dry, the appliance switches off automatically, protecting your laundry, as well as saving energy and money.⁸ Samsung calls this feature OptimalDry™.

Quick dry programmes are handy whenever you’re in a hurry; they use more intense heat and faster tumbling speeds to dry your laundry in less time. However, this function consumes more energy and can be rougher on clothes, so you should only use it when necessary.

These stop children from tampering with your tumble dryer, when in use, for extra peace of mind. Child lock functions disable all settings except the power button, which still works.

Internet connectivity allows you to start and monitor your drying cycles through an app on your phone – perfect for staying in control when you’re away from home.

Some Samsung models come with smart control, so you can set the optimal cycle for your load (Laundry Recipe*), schedule start and finishing times (Laundry Planner*) and get maintenance tips (HomeCare Wizard*).

Samsung’s Smart Check function detects and diagnoses issues when they arise, providing solutions using a smart phone app.*

Time delay settings give you the option to choose when a drying cycle starts. Most appliances come with maximum and minimum time delay functions, so you’ll need to check the manufacturer's guidelines to see how much (or how little) time you can delay a cycle for.

Cool settings dry clothes at cooler temperatures to protect delicate fabrics like silk and lace, or to prevent shrinkage when drying wool garments.

The drum of the dryer rotates in both directions, with a brief pause in between. This function keeps the laundry separated rather than tangled, drying it more evenly.
