How do I use the dryer on my Samsung washer dryer?

Samsung washer dryers seamlessly combine washing and drying so that you can complete your whole washing and drying cycle from one setting. Depending on your model you are able to customise specific features so that you can tailor the temperature, length, spin speed and more on your drying cycle, making doing your washing easier than ever before.
