SAMSUNG

Washing Machine Owner’s Instructions

1. Read all safety instructions before using the appliance.

2. As with any equipment using electricity and
having moving parts, there are potential hazards.
To use this appliance safely, the operator should
become familiar with the instructions for operation
of the appliance and always exercise care when
using it.

3. Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to bad weather..

4. Install and level the washing machine on a floor that
can support the weight.

5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never
plug the appliance cord into a receptacle which
is not grounded adequately and in accordance
with local and national codes. See installation
instructions for grounding this appliance.

6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:

a. Do not wash or dry items that have been

previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted
with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances as they give off
vapors that could ignite or explode. Hand wash and
line dry any items containing these substances.

Any material on which you have used a cleaning
solvent, or which is saturated with flammable liq­uids or solids, should not be placed in the
clothes washer until all traces of these liquids or
solids and their fumes have been removed.

These items include acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household

cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.

b.Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or

other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.

c. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot

water system has not been used for such a period,
before using a washing machine or combination
washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.

7. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub is moving.

8. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance.
Close supervision of children is necessary when the
appliance is used near children.

9. Do not tamper with controls.

10.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in published user- repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.

11.Unplug power supply cord before attempting to service
your washing machine.

12.Store laundry aids and other material in a cool, dry
place where children cannot reach them.

13.Do not wash or dry items that are soiled with
vegetable or cooking oil. These items may contain
some oil after laundering. Due to the remaining
oil, the fabric may smoke or catch fire by itself.

14. Do not use chlorine bleach and ammonia or acids
(such as vinegar or rust remover) in the same wash.

Hazardous fumes can form.

15. Do not wash fiberglass materials.

Small particles can stick to fabrics washed in
subsequent loads and cause skin irritation.

16.Before the appliance is removed from service or

discarded, remove the door to the washing com­partment.

17.Do not sit on top of the clothes washer.

18.Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

19.Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener.

Safety Precautions

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING :

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.

WARNING :
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
under any circumstances.

PREFERRED METHOD OF GROUNDING

Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
120 VAC, 60 Hz. Your washer should be the only appliance on this circuit.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used,

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set

or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type

3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.

3.The longer cord should be arranged so that it

will not be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

WASHING TIPS AND HINTS

Sorting your laundry : Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:

•

Type of fabric care label symbol : Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics,

silks, wools and rayon.

•

Colour : Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.

•

Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.

•

Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure

new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or
refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix.

Emptying pockets : Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the

washing machine drum, and the water tank.

Securing fasteners : Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons

should be tied together.

Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry

may not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of
laundry you are washing.

Fabric Type Load Capacity

Coloured/cotton

-average/lightly soiled 5.5 kg

-heavily soiled 5.5 kg
Permanent press 2.5 kg
Delicates 2.0 kg
Knit/Wool 1.5 kg

Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric

(cotton, perm press, delicate items, knit/wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type
of soiling. Always use "low suds" laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing
machines.

Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not
know how hard your water is, ask your water authority.

Note:

Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Electrical warnings

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind:

• Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped with a

polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked

on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

(AC120V 15AMP.)

Protecting the environment

• This appliance is manufactured from recyclable materials. If you decide to dispose of this

appliance, please observe local waste disposal regulations. Cut off the power cord so that the
appliance cannot be connected to a power source. Remove the door so that animals and small
children cannot get trapped inside the appliance.

• Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended in the detergent manufacturers'

instructions.

• Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when strictly necessary.

• Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends upon

the program used).
